Rohan Rickets is playing for us on the left at Morecambe

</p>

</p>

I guess he's on trial. Sounds like he was a very promising player at one point. Wonder what happened? </p>

Someone who's watching the game - he was on the team sheet.

 

He was released by Wolves.

Apart from a football kit obviously

HALF TIME LATEST FROM CHRISTIE PARK
Posted on: Sat 14 Jul 2007

MORECAMBE 1 (Curtis 7)
BARNSLEY 0

BARNSLEY kicked off pre-season as summer finally started although it was the Morecambe fans who were left enjoying the sun after the opening 45 minutes.

Barnsley manager Simon Davey sprang a surprise at Christie Park when winger Rohan Ricketts (pictured) lined up for the Reds. Ricketts started his career at Arsenal and had spells with Spurs and Coventry before joining Wolves in 2005. He was released by the Molineux club in the summer after spending the last two months of the season with QPR.

Marciano Bruma, Rob Kozluk and Andy Johnson also started the game with fellow new boys Dominik Werling and Kayode Odejayi on the bench.

The Reds got off to the worst possible start on seven minutes when David McNiven's long ball caught out the Barnsley defence to give Wayne Curtis the chance to finish low from 12 yards.

Jamie Burns almost got in again on 17 minutes as he raced onto another McNiven pass before forcing Nick Colgan into a smart low save.

Barnsley should have been on level terms on 24 minutes as Ricketts sent a great free kick into the danger area and the ball just evaded Istvan Ferenczi although Paul Reid really ought to have done better when he swung and missed at the back post.

Ricketts was in the thick of the action again on 28 minutes as he smashed a free kick into the wall from 20 yards after Ferenczi had hit the ground under pressure.

Martin Devaney was next to break quickly through the heart of the Shrimps defence on 31 minutes as he managed to find Michael Coulson in space but the youngster could only shoot straight at a defender from 18 yards.

Morecambe almost caught the Reds napping on 39 minutes as livewire winger Carl Baker stood a fine cross up to the back post to give skipper Jim Bentley a free header but Colgan was quickly across to make a decent save.

Morecambe keeper Craig Wright had his heart in his mouth on the stroke of half time as he could only half clear Devaney's cross and the ball fell to Johnson but the midfielder could only smash his volley high over the bar.

 

wouldnt mind signing him tbh nt

 

RE: just worries me that...

...wolves let him go - if he was any good surely they'd have kept him.

And also the fact that no-one else seems to be in any sort of battle with us to sign him

 

RE: just worries me that...

If they was a battle to get him we'd have no chance anyway so we ought to be thankful. Lad has good pedigree so I'd take a chance. Who are we going to get that's better? Oh and he's actually English too, a few homegrown players wouldn't go amiss in our cosmopolitam squad.
Cue accusations of racism...?

 

RE: any idea what we're wearing?

Last seasons Yellow

 

RE: am not racist...

...to an extent but that's another argument, in terms of football i'm not bothered what colour they are or where they are from as long as they are worthy of being in the team

 

Hoddle brought him to Wolves. A very Spurs type player. Likes the ball played to feet, good passer, but prone to shirking a challenge. Definitely not a trait Macca would admire.
