Taylor: League One no easy ride

Taylor played at the equivalent of League One level with Manchester City earlier in his career and knows that the other sides in the division will raise their game when they play the Reds.

He said: "I don't think it is going to be as easy as some people might think.

"Everybody will be expecting us to bounce straight back but it will be difficult.

"A lot of teams will come to the City Ground and see it as their game of the season: everyone will want to beat us.

"There will be huge expectation and the sooner we get out of it the better."
