Pat Sappleton

[hangthedj]

Has just signed for Margate from Crawley. A good signing for Margate?

[The Town Crier]

 

 

I don't know, what do you think, he played for you pre season.

[hangthedj]

Can't remember much of him, what did you think of him when he played for you?

[GazzaBTFC]

Oooooo...last season and the season before that....

Gotta say I liked Sappleton, a no nonsense, 'says what it does on the tin' type defender. Will almost certainly get red carded at some point. Sappleton v Elder should be interesting!

Crawley site says he was a promising younger player and quick.

 

i thought he was late twenties and built his game on positioning as opposed to pace.

Perhaps those who have seen him regularly could give a run-down of his stregths and weaknesses

[jl]

His strengths are his strength and he is good in the air considering he is not that tall. As Ryan says he is an uncompromising "old school" defender.

 

Weaknesses: You can guaranteee one shocking challenge per game which will result in penalty/yellow card. He can be indisciplined and is likely to be red-carded if you stick a wind-up merchant on him.

[Boney Crisp]

He had a very good debut for us today, one of the MOTM. Obviously that helps when nearly every other player on the pitch were not good. Even the officials were better then a lot of the players and they were one of the worst i have seen.

[Rick the Dick]

Paaaat is, apparantly, live on Sky at this very moment playing for Crawley (again) which is a tad confusing.

[Andy P]

and got MOTM!!

[BlueGate Alan]

Gets stranger as we have been informed he will be with Margate tonight tho not playing & will be signing the papers?? I certainly hope so as a class player on what I have seen so far

[Ryan.c]

Signing what papers? Surely he must've signed papers before Saturday?

[GazzaBTFC]

If he hasn't signed papers, woz he on loan?

[hangthedj]

I've been told that he hasn't signed he league registration over to us yet, so can still play for Crawley until he does so.

so he was neither registered, nor dual registered as a Margate player, yet he is eligible to play in a cup comp for Margate <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

It gets stranger, BBC web site says he has signed a new deal to stay at Crawley!

[GazzaBTFC]

Does this mean that Margate have played an illegible player?

[Ryan.c]

Looks like Pat has played a blinder and earnt himself a pay rise!

The question is...has Crawley signed a new deal to stay at Crawley?


Well done to Pat though.

[BlueGate Alan]

I hope not Gazza, but time will tell I guess?
