On the chalkboard
da apostaganha： The striker had started the season in tremendous form, getting five goals and an assist from his first six Championship games.
However, an injury sustained on international duty with Montserrat meant that he was out of action for 13 games, while he followed that up with three substitute appearances to ease back into things.
This allowed him to make his return to the starting lineup at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, having not featured in it for 16 matches.
Making his return
He marked his return with a well-taken goal to get the first of the Addicks’ equalisers, when he turned Albie Morgan’s strike from outside the box towards the roof of Joe Lumley’s net in the 56th minute.
The 29-year-old definitely didn’t take much time to get back into the swing of things after his layoff, as he took a total of five shots during the game with two going on target, one being blocked, one hitting the woodwork and the other going off target.
One of those efforts indicated how sharp he is, as he nipped in ahead of the centre-back to get on the end of a low ball, eventually forcing a good stop from Lumley.
Outside of his shooting, Taylor produced one key pass, two tackles and a clearance, while also maintaining a pass success rate of 86%. This was one way to finally shake off his rustiness after a string of substitute appearances.

An added bonus for the Montserrat international is that he was able to complete the full 90 minutes of the match.
While Lee Bowyer’s side were still unable to take all three points, Taylor can be satisfied with the fact that he was able to make an impact on his return to the starting lineup.
