As Glenn Roeder struggled to put together a strong defence, Taylor was one of only two shining lights in the back-line (the other being Nobby Solano's switch to right-back).Many felt if Roeder had signed Jonathan Woodgate or Sol Campbell young Taylor would have learnt his trade under better circumstances than carrying the likes of Titus Bramble and Craig Moore.
Taylor has competition for his England B place from Tottenham duo Ledley King and Michael Dawson, plus Everton's Joleon Lescott.
