Matt Taylor: I was too slow to adapt as Walsall boss
Matt Taylor admitted he was too tied to his footballing philosophy during his spell in charge at Walsall.
The 41-year-old, speaking at his first press conference as the new head coach of Shrewsbury Town, said he has learned lessons from his time in charge of Walsall saying he ‘believed in his philosophy too much’.
Taylor, who left Walsall in February 2022, has spent the last 18 months reflecting on how he can become a better coach, and being more ‘adaptable’ is something he feels he can do having had time to reflect.
He said: “I didn’t value winning as much as I do now.
“I believed in my philosophy too much. So moving forwards what has that taught me?
“Well, be more adaptable. I will only be judged like any League One manager or coach up and down the country – by results.
