Megson campaigns for Taylor

olton boss Gary Megson believes Matthew Taylor could be the answer to England's left-sided problems. The Three Lions have tried numerous options on the troublesome flank over the years, but have yet to find the right man for the role.Chelsea's Joe Cole has done a commendable job when fully fit, but he is by no means an out-and-out winger - and he is right-footed.Middlesbrough's Stewart Downing is yet to transfer his club form onto the international stage, while Ashley Young is yet to be given a run in the side by Fabio Capello.England will hope to have stumbled across an answer by the time the 2010 World Cup finals get under way, and Megson believes Capello could do worse than take a trip to the Reebok Stadium to run the rule over Taylor."I find it strange that we are supposedly crying out for a left-sided player who can work hard and score goals," said the Trotters chief."Yet we have one - and he is English. He works his socks off and is a quality player."If he got his opportunity he would not let anyone down."HonoursTaylor is refusing to get his hopes up just yet but, with Bolton team-mates Kevin Davies and Gary Cahill having been included in the 32-man provisional squad for the recent friendly against Spain, the former Portsmouth man is delighted to see the Trotters getting the recognition they deserve."Davo and Gary got called up into a provisional England squad and that was great. It shows playing for Bolton can bring other honours with it," he said."For all the English lads here, if we play well and can get ourselves in a decent position in the league then we're putting ourselves out there for anything else that comes along."But if you score goals in matches, people take notice of you and that's what Davo's doing."He's now getting the recognition he deserves and I'm really chuffed for him."
