Colchester boss Garner delighted with Luton striker Taylor progress

Luton striker Joe Taylor is continuing his fantastic work away from the club on loan.

The 20-year-old scored the fifth goal of his loan spell at Colchester United this season.

Moving to the JobServe Community Stadium at the start of this season, Taylor is determined to make the most of regular first team football.

Speaking to the Colchester Gazette, the club's manager Ben Garner stated: “We don't want to take away from Joe's passion and love of the game.

“It's just a bit of an education.

“He's got to get used to the officiating at this level and how that works and some of the new rules and we're all adjusting to that a little bit.

“In the last two games, it's got to the point where there's been a danger of a red card and it's meant that he's had to be taken off, for his own benefit.

“Joe's learning all the time. He's not played too much senior football and he'll be learning very quickly.

“He's shown what he's capable of doing for us and we just need to keep working with him and be patient.

“I think he's a very strong signing who will do well for us but it's our job to educate him and develop him at the same time."
