Good first touch,can cross a ball,intelligent etc. But oh no,Gasheads (or plenty) concentrate on the times he came off second best shoulder to shoulder against an 18 stone fucling Frankenstein from Accrington Stanley! Darrel Clark will try and have us passing,with wingers.Santos and Broghammer would of been brilliant! Ward really fed up our season,him and Higgs! s*** tactics,don't pass the ball,definately don't score etc.. We've a few decent players,but upon my life,Ward was destructive! Alfies a good footballer and I mean footballer. I disagree Bas - he has potential to be a good footballer - he wasnt ready this season but got thrown in to a struggling team out of desperation. He gave the ball away too often and has one trick which defences work out very quickly to shut him out of the game. Well opinions and all that Surrey but really,his first touch etc.As Wembley posted,we have to give em abit of time,but often enough Alfie did a decent job last season,in a poor team awfully coached/direceted.

We should be looking forward to watching Broghammer and Santos 'blossom' next season,but oh no,as usual at Rovers team building is just a phrase that Higgs and various managers toss about to create an image of a club with a vision,strongly led,well directed,a club going places.
Alfreton eg.

Alfreton eg. But we rejected an approach from Hull City so at this point in time Santos is still a Rovers player. I'm not sure Broghammer wanted to stick around in a foreign coutry playing 5th tier football so we probably couldnt keep hold of him. Whereas you can criticise the board for many things I think you are barking up the wrong tree here.

No surprise to me.Alfie a decent winger,as was Broghammer. So for all those who slagged him off cause he wasn't a big bloke,well did you ever play football,what do you actually watch in a football match and what the flying f do you expect from a winger! Could'nt you see his ability to cross a ball without beating/going around the defender! His first touch is excellent! His distribution is intelligent. Obsessed with big players,sounds more like visiting bunch of groupies rather than anyone who reads the game! For fss sake! s*** club! Hmmmmm ... nope.

Alfreton eg. I admit to having only seen a few games last season, but he was one of the few that I saw play wide that at least tried to attack the full back with the ball at his feet. As a team that used to be in the same league as us, who are now Premier League while we are non league, I would guess Hull know what they are doing more than us lot.

Whereas you can criticise the board for many things I think you are barking up the wrong tree here. Higgs record is appalling (football club wise,good job UWE) and I most certainly am correct in blaming the Board. Poor appointments,apparently Ward wanted Richard to stay eg This board are truly awful. They are responsible for all the s**t of the last few years. Santos will go,of course he will if the likes of Hull City have their eye on him. When do Rovers ever keep a player that another club wants. Broghammer may of stayed if the club hadn't of gone down and as I may of mentioned,Ward and the board are to blame. Shambles of a fc.

Actually The strategy is too build a team completely devoid of talent. A sort of mirror image of the board So no chance the board will be selling Santos then

He has got potential as a player but he really struggled to make an impact for the most part of last season. I do feel like there is something there but I really fear for him coming up against conference full backs. IMO I would rather have an accomplished/experienced over someone like Santos next season.
Yet again this turns into another board bashing topic; it's all Higgs' fault if a 19 year old would rather play for a premier league club than us in the conference? If the money is right then we should look to take it and move elsewhere. If the lad wants to go then who are we to stand in his way? I would rather start next year with a fresh slate.
We should have learned last year that we can afford no passengers in a team and that's what I see Santos as, a young winger with potential but turns it on 1 in maybe 5 games.

Not sure saying Santos isnt good enough by some is bashing the board

Not sure saying Santos isnt good enough by some is bashing the board I agree with the comments of him not being good enough but Higgs can't win by the looks of it on here. Sell santos - why is he selling our young talents as soon as we have interest in them? Keep santos - why are we not cashing in on him? he's clearly not good enough. I understand it's something that will divide opinions but it'd be nice to have a topic on here which doesn't result in moaning at the chairman.

Conference or a Premier League club, it's a no brainer for the player.

Okay fair enough it's not the boards fault Hull have come in for Santos,but it's just more bad news imo.
I can't see him staying.

We are a non-league team with non-league players - fans should remember that.
We need to rebuild again and I think Darrell is the right person but fans have to give him and the players time - we have no divine right to anything.

Conference or a Premier League club, it's a no brainer for the player. That's the reality of where we are at. Rightly or wrongly we will always be in a poor negotiating position in these situations. Put yourself in that position and there is only one answer. All the club can do is negotiate the best deal possible (eg with a sell on clause) and move on.
