Taylor's numbers tell the story of a specialist impact replacement built around defensive output — nearly five tackles per appearance across his 12 matches points to a player deployed primarily to shore up defensive structures.

The consistency of his minutes and tackle counts across two competitions suggests a dependable option when defensive reinforcement is the priority.
