Dr. Feelgood Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Love the clips. One word of caution to Santos. In the Oldham game when their player was rightly sent off Santos came 30 yards to get in the mix & physically shoved the guy in the chest. On another day he could have found himself walking for that. Yesterday he again got in the mix when he didn't need to. A yellow on this occasion. If opponents realise he's quick to flair then they'll work on him. He just needs to mind himself. I'd not want to lose him for 3 games as things ramp up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athywhite1958 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I saw him at Colls pre season and he was like a fish out of water, looked like he'd never played before, so awkward and clumsy, fantastic to see how he's turning into a very good player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a defender picks a ball up and makes a striding run forward like Santos does and Baptiste has occasionally done , it scares the life out of players because they don’t know what to do, shall I stay shall I go, the amount of times this season I’ve seen it happen and their midfield stands still because they’re in two minds is wonderful 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Seems like he's really bought into the vision. Class. No reason why he can't be a solid League One defender or higher. Still only 25. Think we will need a new GK and CB partner for him next year but an important part of the spine nailed down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 If he carries on this form until the end of the season I'd imagine there will be clubs from the Championship who will be very interested in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjhb Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I believe he struggled at Peterborough when he was in League One last but he would have been a young lad then, he seems to have sorted any previous issues out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnywhite Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Going to be a different test for him against Matt tomorrow scored plenty of goals strong target man . we had a game might of been port vale we’re they were very physical against Santos and he struggled so might see how much he as improved tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very young as well, some players don’t fit certain systems and he could have been a victim of that. Santos is good on the ball, quick and is the man to go with a runner along with Baps who’s the organiser, the pairing works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His positional instinct appears more naturally now. He used to get caught on the wrong side of the ball earlier in the season. I love him. 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love watching him defending, seeing all these guys bouncing off him. Laugh out loud moments when they hit the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could watch that all day, Long ball he’ll win against you , down the channels he’ll best you for pace and probably put you into touch as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
