Bristol Rovers strengthened their squad in the transfer window as they are hoping to challenge for promotion this season.
Joey Barton’s side have had a slow start to the season as they have only picked up six points from six games and now at the weekend they are set to take on Shrewsbury Town on Saturday.
Taylor, who played with Barton at Burnley, believes that the Bristol Rovers boss is an experienced manager and he is of the view that the 41-year-old has an exceptional squad at his disposal.
The Shrewsbury boss also pointed out that Bristol Rovers have good depth in their attacking and defensive units and he is expecting a difficult game on Saturday.
“It will be a difficult game, they are a very good football team and he has got an exceptional squad”, Taylor told a press conference.
“He has got lots of options both in attacking areas and in defence.
“They like to play through the thirds.
“Joe was a team-mate of mine when we won the Championship with Burnley.
“It will be good to see him and good to catch up with him afterward. But my focus is on us.
“Joey is at a stage in his career where he is experienced.
“Bristol Rovers are the second club he has managed and it’s good to see a former team-mate do well.”
Bristol Rovers are winless in their last three league games and Barton’s side will be hoping to get back to winning ways with a victory over Shrewsbury Town in the next game.
