One minute to go, has the ball and glory beckons....why not just run past the last man and put the ball down under the posts?

Re: Will Sharpe : Sun Jul 17, 2016 5:27 pm  

Because he has been poor most of the season. Fair do's. He makes the hard yards, but he has fallen way below the mark as an out and out finisher. Blundered Try after Try throughout the season. Calamitous liability and would pick Potts above him all day long

Re: Will Sharpe : Sun Jul 17, 2016 5:30 pm  

He did have brain explosion I agree but at least he looks like one of our backs that can get round players and not just try run through them all the time, I think he has been the fall guy this season as the bigger problem is we do not have centres who can pass the ball, time to get rid I am afraid of Tyrer and Heaton who just cannot put a winger in hardly ever plus Salty who also just runs at players!

Don't know what you've done to him, he's a shadow of his former self. He needs to come back where he loved playing his rugby.

Interestingly, your coach was on Radio Rhino singing Will's praises. Think he was watching a different game.

Re: Will Sharpe : Sun Jul 17, 2016 6:03 pm  

Agree was a rash moment to kick then but in the heat of the moment and thinking there was seconds left possibly a bit harsh. He did the knock on at the play the ball that lead to their winning try although looked to be a hand in there for me but Child seemed to pick his calls randomly today.

Our pack was the surprise today. Just didn't turn up against an average pack. Gave no platform for us.

Re: Will Sharpe : Sun Jul 17, 2016 6:13 pm  

Let's not turn this into a player slagging contest. Will was also second in the supporters motm in the south stand after the game so their is more than just Marshall that thought he went OK today. All too regularly this season Will has been under criticism from certain sections of the crowd no matter what he does and then we wonder why he isn't playing as well as we know he can. Would you do well in your job if your peers kept saying you were rubbish at it? The lad needa support and encouragement not battering at every opportunity.

The be all and end all us that collectively as a group we weren't good enough and Fev deserved the victory. As per big chunks of this season we struggled to create openings with the ball in hand, it has been the story of our season. Only on the odd occasion has our attack been anywhere near the standard it should be.

In reference to the money side of thinga that loss today could be crippling to a club like us. We have most likely lost at least 500k today which is massive. Jeff mentions the rent but have we actually payed anything on that cos last I heard we were going to the arbitrators to settle. Only other thing other than the youth team that I remember ua spending any sort of money on was the GPS system for the players shirts.

Same as last season we waited until mid point of the season to start performing. We need to hit the ground running from the start.

Well done today to Fev as they were deserved winners on the day. Can you now at least stop Bradford making the top 4 please .

Obviously wrong decision, as you say take him on and score or if you think you are going to be caught cut back inside and take the tackle with 4 more to go.
Just one of a few chances that were put down.

Re: Will Sharpe : Sun Jul 17, 2016 8:37 pm  

Will tried his heart out today. He's not as fast as I remember when he played for Fev, and he's not scored that many tries (as others have said, that could be down to the quality of ball he receives from the centres).

Complete brain-fart in kicking the ball. It was too hard and not sure how he'd expect Grix to be charging through on the 80th minute anyway!

However, it wasn't that moment that lost us the game (albeit it could have led to a win with a different decision), it was the previous 79 minutes with our main problem being errors. Fev made far less, and that proved to be the difference in the end imo.

Re: Will Sharpe : Sun Jul 17, 2016 8:39 pm  

How error strewn have we been in the last two games, everyone said last week that we can't keep giving the ball away and we did it again with the same result.

Re: Will Sharpe : Mon Jul 18, 2016 11:41 am  

We have been error strewn all year. Even when we hammered Fev at Blackpool we made several errors, it’s just that they made a load as well. When we play against a determined team who give nothing away we have struggled this year, Batley a prime example. They do nothing special, but they play a basic game, keep their shape and most of all avoid mistakes.
