As Bristol Rovers prepare to face League Two's set-piece masters Northampton Town on Saturday, Joey Barton believes Connor Taylor could learn a thing or two from his Cobblers counterparts.
No team in the fourth tier has scored more set-play goals than Northampton's 21 this season, with centre-back duo Fraser Horsfall and Jon Guthrie netting eight and six league goals respectively.
Rovers are no mugs from dead ball situations either, ranking fourth in the league with 14 set-piece goals, but Barton believes his side could be more productive. The manager can have no complaints with 20-year-old Taylor's dominant defensive play on loan from Stoke City, but he believes the towering centre-half should have more than just one goal – in the comeback win at Walsall in September – in his account this season.
