Clearly he was to blame. Were you there?

I was there, the ball should never have reached him.

The players in field are to blame, not Sharp.

Although I agree that the ball should not have got to Sharp, the fact remains that he failed to deal with the loose ball, so yes he is to blame imo.

i would not want sharp dropped to bring lynn in, he looks even more flimsy in defence, i honestly think sharp will get better, his effort is their for all to see, i just hope the few who are gobbing off at the games does'nt snowball, that would make it almost impossible for him to improve, it would just pile even more pressure on the kid.

Sharp will learn and come back strong.
If we sign Gleeson that will benefit Sharp.

Well summed up that.
I think the fact that the opposition coaches have chosen to target him relentlessly speaks volumes.
That said, I do like the kid and hope he improves and does well for us. He needs to focus more in defense.

Could it not be argued that opposition coaches are aiming at Sharps wing, as on the other wing we have possibly the best English Winger at the moment and a genuine threat, hence they would want to avoid that sied of the pitch??

Personally I think many are being too harsh on Sharp. Again, I am only going to use Yeaman as an example as I am not having a go at the guy, but last night, He actually cost us from opening the scoring in the very first set of the game. He could and should have drawn the Bradford full back before passing to Briscoe, instead he treated the ball like a hot potato and got rid far too quickly.

Overall Sharps contribution has been ok without pulling up any trees. That being said I feel he has done far better then Lyne did when he was picked.

You make very valid points there.
You are right about that Yeaman incident as well. In fact, I think we were guilty of passing too early a few times and not drawing the man first. Maybe slight over exuberance.
I hope that Sharp comes good I really do, but I genuinely think that he is costing us more than he is giving us at the moment. I am certainly not one to boo or cheers when he is subbed.
