Must admit I am worried about Sharp's positioning at times and he should have had the ball covered. Was probably expecting too much, I always hope a new signing will be a superstar and the answer to all our problems. Very pleased with Obst though

Despite all his frailties and been lightweight, I like Sharpe. Wingers rarely see the ball in the modern game but he's always willing to work hard and go looking for it. He'd take the ball up every tackle if possible. Any player that's constantly in a 3 on 1 diffensive situation is always going to struggle. Will can only work on his personal game for the 1 on 1 situations and should not be held in account for other players out of position. It may also help if he starts to get a regular centre partner who he can build up a positional understanding with, ironic jeering is not going to help, save that for the ref.

I was there and what I saw was a winger coming some 20metres infield to try and defuse a horridly bouncing ball that shoud've been dealt with by the 'infield' players; the lot of them stood and watched the ball. Sharp for me did nothing more than try to clean up their mistake.
I'm happy with Sharps contribution to the game.

You never saw him break through only to find Radford in support then?
Give the lad a break,he is still young and on a learning curve.
Have you never made a mistake?

Yeah, he's made one or 2 errors but I think he's contributed more positives to the team than negatives and he's got the right attitude, reminds me a bit of Calderwood in that respect. If we stick with him I think he'll develop into a really good winger.

Couldn't agree more.

The bounce of the ball was horrendous and is even mentioned in the Sky text report of the game.
I hate it when fans get on a players back. I dont think anyone can say he doesn't give his all or makes mistakes on purpose (except the original poster ).

The ball should have been dealt with before it ever got to Sharp though. After that, he should have cleaned it up.

Other than that I thought he had a good game, carried the ball up well, made an excellent break and generally looked busy. Was pretty impressed with his performance, but the treatment some fans gave him was out of order IMO (when he caught the ball after his balls up and that sarcastic cheer went up and when some booed him off when he got subbed).

The fact the ball shouldn't have got to him is hardly an excuse for what he did though. he's costing us at least a try a game with his errors. if it had been hall still with us and doing it the lynch mob would be out

I admit when he missed the ball ,a few expletives passed my lips,but,as I say,we all make mistakes.I still think he is a prospect.

Maybe. He is certainly a long way from the finished article though

Re: Sharp investigated : Sat Apr 09, 2011 8:40 am  

I like Sharp he works hard, and when he gets the chance to run at pace he is a very exciting young player, although i feel he needs to compose himself a little more, and yes he did make a couple of mistakes with his positioning but so do a lot of our experienced players missed tackles, offloading the ball, stupid passes, Sharp is a talented young guy, where i was sat people clapped him off, but for some fans to boo at an individual player like that is shameful
