The Hull boss has suprised a lot of people in football by today saying that Lincoln are the best team in the division. Taylor remains as one of the very few managers who doesn't critise the Imps style of play.
On Hull's website, their manager, Peter Taylor has launched a suprising erray of complements towards Lincoln going as far to say that they are the best team in the Division. His comments come ahead of tomorrows game at the KC stadium between the 2 sides.
"It's a massive game and I think at the minute, Lincoln are the best team in the division because they are absolutly flying!"
Imps have will be very suprised to hear that their is an opposistion manager not complaining about City's tactics.
"I've got a lot of respect for Keith Alexander and his players and am not one of those that critise them for the way they play. I think those who do are showing a lack of respect towards Lincoln. In the final third, Lincoln play as much football as anyone by a mile."
He also praised the Imps for their playoff final appearance last season.
"For the first 20 minutes of the playoff final, they showed Bournemouth how to pass."
He has also shed light that a few of the Tiger's main players are struggling to make the game. The most important one of those 3 players is Stuart Elliott who scored last week's equaliser against Torquay.
Whether this is mind games remains to be seen but it all sounds incredibly genuine and I for one would like to thank Mr Taylor for his generous comments and it's so nice to see a manager not acting like a spoilt brat after losing to Lincoln.
Peter Taylor accepted the defeat to the Imps last season but others have not been so considerate when describing the Imps style of play. Some manager's have blamed the length of the grass but the most unbelieveable comments was Peter Jackson after watching his HUddersfield side lose 3-1 last week.
"They never troubled us!"
Even though we scored 5 goals past them in the 2nd half.
