rocky baptiste

[seasidesteve]

i see he has left maidenhead ,wondering if anyone would like to see him back with us.undoubted quality but a bit laid back for me

[Gate4TehWin]

God damn he use to annoy me at times he could be so lazy and disinterested in a game, he seem to take far to many touches at times, then to make it worse he would miss the most dreadful sitters..... but when he was up for it he could go past players with ease and score quite outstanding goals.

 

Providing he didn't want an unrealistic wage may be worth giving him another a go... i think i may be one of a minority saying that we all had our mixed opinions on him back in the nomadic days at Ashford.

 

 

Having said all that i would rather have the Manche back

[Chris1]

No

[Andy .]

He would have to play a proper 90mins under Terry , if he didn`d then he would be out as quick as he came in but on his day he is quality . May want to much money though but with 6-7 games remaining a deal could be struck . Up the Gate .

[Wellsie]

Not sure Rocky would fancy a relegation scrap. Che on the other hand, I'd fancy him in a scrap.

[geoff pay]

Che is in one already with Furrok!

[StuyRandall]

Che and Rocky are both class. i didnt get to any of the games in Ashford, so i never got to see either of them play. my only real memory of Rocky is him scoring for Farnborough against Arsenal! what a legend! lol

So you missed watching him loiter around for 90 minutes week after week, making sure everybody could see he was far too important to give a toss about Margate or its supporters. All the more bloody annoying when he has proved before and since that he can make an effort when he wants to.

There was a player with dreadlocks training with the first team tonight, couldn't get a close enough look but could possibly be Rocky.

[Cookie]

That would be a big co-incidence then.

Chris he did play in every game and nearly always for nothing.

If he was tall, have seen him before training with them, not sure who it is though?

[Dutch_Mike]

Not the striker who played up front against Whitstable in pre-season by any chance? Looked lively that night.

[BlueGate Alan]

No that was Sol Pinnock Mike, bigger than him!

[ronks41]

None of the above chaps, he comes along to training now and then but not of the required std apparently. He may be going to Ramsgate next season tho..........only kidding Rams boys( and girls ofcourse) ;-)

Ok Geoff, a fair point. But some of the youngsters are playing for nothing now, and at least they make an effort. It was the not trying that p****d me off.

I am willing to forgive and forget though. If he comes our way and saves us from relegation I will be quite happy to regard him as a hero.

[geoff pay]

I'm not sure it was lack of effort just lack of confidence amongst the general demise of the club at the time. Darren Watson looked far worse at times i thought.

[Drummer]

Much as I liked Rocky as a player, and to be fair when I spoke to him he seemed a really nice person, I just wonder whether his style of play would fit in today's side. No doubt he would adapt as a good pro would but there seems to be so much energy there at present, and I really think Kenny Pratt is going great, that I wonder if Rocky's laid back style would fit.

 

A good player though.

[seasidesteve]

kenny pratt does ok but he will not be a 20 goal a year player nor is peters

[vic pain lives!]

peters is a 20 goal a season man i have no doubt, not in the ryman prem obviously!!!!!!!!!!
