Watching Broom in Cheltenham's playoff semi final against Northampton and he's been the best player on a pitch, put in a great performance so far.
I think along with signing Bennett, releasing Broom will go down as one of DC's biggest mistakes.
Lots of Rovers connections in this with Broom and Nichols turning out for Cheltenham and Northampton having Linesy, Andy Williams and Joe Martin on the bench.

Apart from giving away the penalty (which was missed) he has a good game. Had a good couple of seasons by all accounts. Benefited from playing regularly in League 2

Benefited from playing regularly in League 2 Definite penalty but I thought Broom was a bit unlucky to have conceded it, apart from that having a really good game. Tom Nichols having a bit of shocker unfortunately, wouldn't be surprised to see him hauled off in a minute.

Poor game with no outstanding players I'd be hoping we sign for this level, including Broom.

I know this isn't a TN thread, but I actually think he's been decent, right up until he has to shoot. Which is the whole reason he's not with us anymore. It's the sort of performance that epitomised his time with us.

I'd take the keeper Evans maybe as a backup if we didn't already have two contracted backups, but not Broom.

He just hasn't looked dangerous going forwards and hasn't made me wish we didn't release him when I was hoping he would, that miss really summed up his time at Rovers.

Not sure many of us at the time thought releasing Broom was a mistake by DC, we can hardly keep every youngster just in case one does eventually make it. It makes you wonder how poor Lines must be now if he hasn't got a run out as Northampton have hardly threatened to score in open play. Nichols now on the verge of a Wembley appearance/possible promotion.

Obviously can't speak on behalf of everyone, but I was disappointed when he was released. DC even admitted at the time that it could turn out to be a mistake. Wouldn't surprise me if Lines doesn't have enough match fitness to play yet, they've only had a couple of weeks of training.

Thought he was harshly treated by us..played away at Wycombe in the mickey mouse cup.. We won 4-2 I think.. He scored a brace of really well taken goals then didn't get another chance and was bombed out soon after.

I would probably have kept him as expect his wages would have been low. He looked a decent player but debatable just how good he was going to be. To be fair when DC released him we were in L1 and he's still currently playing in L2 albeit looks like he could play in L1.

Broom was just unfortunate he happened to be here during our most successful period in recent times. Nice to see he's developed into a good L2 midfielder.

At the time I believe we had Joe Partington, Dan Leadbitter and Byron Moore on the right, albeit playing in different roles. Would of got rid of them (as we did) and kept Broom as I just feel he had a bit about him and potential to improve further, as he clearly has.

It would just have been a close call.

I saw Broom and Telford start at Wycombe in the Cheap Cup at the beginning of 2 seasons before last. We conceded in the first few minutes and then Broom and Telford were awesome and we won 5-1. I never understood why D.C. never played him up front wide? He had pace! Never agreed with Telford going as well!
Broom was great 1st half Vs Northampton; not many opportunities 2nd but ran his heart out as could be seen when subbed?
Cheltenham looked good? Up the West Country? LoL

Assuming Leadbitter was still fit at that point in his career would you really have shown him the door and then started the following season with just Parts & Broom? I can never understand what DC had against wingers, as he showed Monty the door when he was doing OK for us and always seemed to think Broom was a wing back, even though he couldn't tackle.

Actually it's pleasing to see Broom doing well. He never got a sustained chance at Rovers, which is starting to look like a mistake. He's obviously enjoying the challenges of L2 football and if he continues to develop in an appreciative environment he may well playing at a higher level. Good luck to him.
All clubs make mistakes with the early release of players. It's very possible that Brom is another example of a Rovers mistake.

Ryan Broom has had a very good season and put in a decent first 45mins last night. In league two.
It’s quite a stretch to suggest we’ve made any kind of a ‘mistake’ as such. Until those performances are flowing regularly against sides in our own division, of course. It could happen yet, maybe he will get another shot at it in 2020/21.
I also don’t recall any shock or bewilderment at his release, especially when we had Bodin & Montano operating down the flanks.

Played at Walsall when we were overrun with only James Clarke playing well.Even Tommy Locks had a stinker.We gave a debut to a superb young keeper loaned from QPR.Broom in that game was awful.
