+++ 9/7/18 Portmarnock v OUFC +++

Don’t write him off just yet. Decent supply, a decent run off games, stay fit. Ok staying fit might be a problem. He could save us a fortune if it happened
Except that if you've listened to these games you will have heard RadOx saying that he has missed a load of (relative) sitters. Given that you'll get less chances against L1 sides than this type of opposition, that's not good. And - as you rightly say - his fitness record hints that he won't be available all the time anyway! We need better and am sure we will get it.
 
How many people thought England would reach the semi’s? Who would of said Leicester would of won the premiership. But these things do happen.

Probably one of the least convincing arguments I have heard. :) On that basis you could have kept on all of last year's foreign legion on the basis that they could come good! Surely you have to have a player who is LIKELY to be a red hot scorer rather than one who has already shown that he probably isn't going to be one and hoping that the unlikely happens.
 
While always good to win pre season matches, its more about getting players up to match fitness than anything else, a few workouts to blow away summer cobwebs.... it is good to have 3 out of 3 (freindlys) won ;)
 
I thought Baptiste was a defensive midfielder - there seemingly has been one hell of a coaching conversion job done on him as the OM has him down as a winger...
 
Nah. He’s a right player.

Sorry to be pernickety but he was/is definitely a box-to-box central midfielder...source:

"“Malachi is a lively winger who has bags of skill and pace, and Shandon is a really promising central midfielder." MAPP upon their initial professional contract signing.

Not sure when/if he was transitioned to a RW(?) If it was during his loan at H&R they've done a good job

Amazing how many players suddenly pack on a lot of muscle mass without body fat in the 2 months of the close season.

Not convincing granted but its the best I got HeHe

I will leave this out there. 2 more for Beeks today..........
 
I think you'd be better off judging him on last season's performances against L1 defenses than a few pre-season games against Irish semi pros (if that) and a non-league outfit. Still, hope springs eternal I suppose.
