Quick question, not that important, but I only saw R Baker play once or twice and I'd like to know how Shels fans rated him.

Excellent on his day and can be a real match winner. Can also play so bad you wonder how he ever made it as a footballer at all. He was dropped for half of his last season with us but in the matches he played well in he was superb, his preformances when he was on form were as good as anyones that season, espically in the 4-2 match against Rovers. He won us that game and that game had alot to do with us winning the league.

So basically, on his day superb but let down by his consistensy, imo anyway.

in the last week set up goals in both and seems to be starting to make an impact.Ronnie O'Brien is in one of the squads for the allstar game at the end of July.

If he's anything like his brother all the flying wont have helped him much :)

Baker had a nice pass for a goal on Saturday:
