Title: Taylor Richards
Post by: Padge_DRFC on February 06, 2021, 05:42:41 pm
Hope that injury isn't serious. Right now he's the most dangerous player in the league 30 yards from goal. Hopefully another try before you buy for us as well.

Not a chance we will get him, he will be a top top player

He is out of contact in the summer, if he continues like this though it’s hard to imagine a scenario where we manage to keep him to be honest.

Brighton paid a lot of money for him also so won’t want to lose him for nothing. Suppose with him being out of contract it all depends on what he wants to do himself!

Massive future though, just raw raw talent.

A touch of class..............................

 He nutmegs a player,

a little touch to get the ball out of his feet,

3 defence players around him,

he shoots and scores.

Pure class the boy is pure class.

That goal of his today was pure genius.
Close control, nutmeg, shift the ball a touch then slotted into the corner.
If it was in the PL it would be all over the BBC sports news.

I think if rovers go up and Brighton stay up we may sign him for next season

He walked on the pitch at the end to be with the players so he can’t be bad otherwise he would not have done that.He is the best attacking midfield player we have especially getting close to goal. He will only get better.

If we go up we could keep the loans we want hopefully especially if Brighton and Brentford are the premier league.

I know we're only in league 1 and it's easy to get carried away , but how many top class players have we seen against us in cup games over the years not really live up to the hype. This kid has something special about him and looks a class above , he carried himself well against West Ham the other week and looked a bright spark when he came on. Be surprised if Brighton don't renew his contract.

Not to mention the assist for Fej's goal, perfect weight on the one two.
Great first touch by Fej too to set up the finish.

If Brentford go up we would hopefully be in pole position to keep Balcome it's just whether other clubs will pay more for him on loan. Can see Richards getting a chance in Brighton's squad if he has a good preseason with them. He's got so much talent he could easily catch the eye enough for them to rethink another loan

Imagine if he develops consistency and the ability to play 90 minutes at full pace. He'll be week in week out top 6 Premiership quality.

There seems to be a problem with his stamina, consistently subbed around the hour mark

Having just seen it again, it was Messi-esque. I hadn't realised how many players surrounded him and he still powered it into the corner. That lad can dribble a football in a telephone box!

Incidentally, I just wonder if he injured himself on the hip with his tumble when celebrating his goal.
