Agree about Beestin but Mason? He’s the worst player in this league and was an absolute disgrace today. As mentioned, Beestin played Quote from: pigeonhole on November 25, 2017, 05:23:35 pmAgree about Beestin but Mason? He’s the worst player in this league and was an absolute disgrace today. As mentioned, Beestin played like he cares Mason has no desire, bravery or discernible ability. Utter shite. bloody harsh unfair comments about Mason he had a decent game today, it makes me wonder if you were actually at the match to come out with that crap

Quote from: Haxey-Hood-DRFC on November 25, 2017, 07:50:28 pmToday Alfie came of age, and proved what qualities he can bring to the game. The slender youngster we signed has matured into a strong, confident and exciting player. His technical abilities are excellent and his willingness to drive forward was exactly what we needed today. For too many games we've seemed so reluctant to play incisive forward passes and run at players - let alone have a go at goal. Preferring instead to play across and backwards, hoof it up, and look to walk the ball into the net. That changed today when AB was introduced to the game. I dread to think what the outcome would have been without his pace, energy and positivity, which I'm sure rubbed off on all the team.The boy's got to start the next game!Pleased for Beestin that he had a good game today. When he came on on Tuesday at Wigan he played like his laces were tied together. Sounds like Kongolo had a mare; he was one of our better players the other night. Part of the problem with the current team I guess; players like Beestin, Mandeville and Kongolo are undoubtedly talented but can be incredibly inconsistent.

with mandeville it seems DF isn't going to play him but i don't think he's had a consistent run of games this season to justify been frozen out.
Beestin offers a very good case study. Why do we have a youth set up?Of the young / younger players of our own (not loanees) only Mandeville was produced by our youth set up. Garratt, Beestin, Mason, Lawlor, McCullough all game from other clubs. Indeed in recent years the only two lads who have made it into first squad were Middleton and Lund, and Ferguson quickly deemed them surplus. I am not advocating for scrapping the youth set up but objectively, what is the return on that investment - not for producing players then sold for profit, but in producing players for the first team. Could another option not be to save all the cash and just continue picking up young players from other clubs?Granted, this doesn’t permit a long-term entrenchment of a ‘Rovers way’ in play by how kids are brought through, but so very few ever get near first team that is it worth considering? Think Brentford made same call recently.
Bet that did their confidence the world of good.

Not looking bad for 116BiographyDATE OF BIRTH01/01/1901SIGNED01/07/2016COUNTRY EnglandAlfie Beestin was signed in the summer of 2016 on a two-year deal from Tadcaster Albion and the i2i Academy.The striker scored his first goal for the club on his debut against Mansfield Town in the Checkatrade Trophy, in a game Rovers won 2-0.https://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/teams/first-team/midfielder/alfie-beestin/COYR
I hope Alfie can continue his progress, but we have seen this season that young players are more inconsistent especially in this league. They all need time to develop. We do not have that time in the league in the new year.
