Just looked the goals up as well, and two of his goals were goalbound shots that deflected off him, those being his goals against Blackburn and QPR

I have to say, I've not really gotten the hype that's been around Taylor this season. A 30-year old lower league journeyman who has only ever played 22 games at this level and who has had bad injury problems this season, and one who would be expecting fairly large wages and a fairly lengthy contract. Just seems an odd player profile for a club with ambitions to get into the top flight. 
I'm also not convinced that he's as much of a raw goalscorer as he's made out to be. He has previously put up good numbers in the lower-tiers, but when you dig into it you see that those numbers are inflated by penalties, sometimes massively so. This year, for example, he got 11 goals, but 4 were from penalties (over 1/3 of his goals), only 7 were from open play (and 2 of those were against the club he now plays for). Likewise, In 18/19 at Charlton, he got 21 goals in League One, an impressive return, but that includes 8 penalties (around 40% of that total), only 13 being from open play. 
In fact, he's only got a double-digit return for open-play league goals in five of the seasons he's played since 2008: 13 for Charlton in League One in 18/19, 11 for Wimbledon in League One in 17/18, 19 for Wimbledon in League Two in 15/16, 23 for Falkirk in the Scottish second-tier in 12/13, and when he got a total of 34 goals for Concord Rangers in the Isthmian Division One North (8th tier) back in 09/10 (I can't find penalty statistics for that level, but I'm assuming he didn't score 25 penalties).
I'd also say that if he doesn't work out at Forest, he has the potential to be a real thorn in their side. He's been pretty open about the fact that he's after one big payday while he still has the chance, and you'd have to imagine that he's chosen Forest as they're the club that have offered him the most money. If he falls out of favour, they might struggle to find a club willing to match his wages, and I doubt that he'd be willing to leave for less money when, at this point in his career, the money is what he wants. I think he could easily become pricey deadwood for them.
 
I do think Jack Colback's not a bad signing, though. Played for them before and did a decent enough job, and could prove to be a younger, possibly cheaper, and arguably slightly better replacement for Ben Watson when he leaves. Not a signing that will move them forwards, but I think he's a good replacement.

Seen this tweet earlier ?
 

That Sheffield United goal against Aston Villa that wasn't given has had a real knock-on effect in regards to relegation
I could see Bournemouth taking some sort of action over that

With all the talk about Leeds, it shouldn't be forgotten that West Brom had a 12 point lead over 3rd place Fulham in mid-December and now look likely to end up in the playoffs, and for it not to be Fulham to overtake them. Pretty poor when you consider the quality they have.

Typical Sheffield Wedneday. Only they could go up 2-1 in the 86th minute and still end up losing 3-1.

Got disallowed for a foul on the goalkeeper. Personally thought it was a very soft decision and that Preston's goalkeeper was given a let-off for not being strong enough against a fairly passive Wednesday player.
 

Was just about to say this game's been awful, but now it's good
