"Yeah but he didn't do a triple somersault when he scored because he's lazy and doesn't do enough, wibble wibble"

Well done Top Scorer Billy Sharp.

 

[zablade]

I remember letters the the Green Un back in the day arguing we should drop Keith Edwards as he was too selfish, and Brian Deane as he made our play too predicatable.

We don't seem to appreciate goal scorers, perhaps that's why they all leave.

I am waiting to see some epic back peddling and ridiculous justifications on this thread.

 

[Lard_Lad]

I'll hold my hands up and say I criticised him at the start of the season, I've never been more happy to be proved wrong, lets hope he keeps it up, also nice to see him score more than one in a game, he'll get his hattrick at some point

 

[Weasel]

Sharp is a goalscorer and worth his weight in gold to the side. Simple as. If hes fit i would always want Utd to play him and i couldnt understand the stick he was getting early in the season. Glad hes proving a few doubters wrong.

 

[Harry's Game]

I will just repost a question I asked when Sharp was getting all the stick.

"How many other teams in this division would take Billy Sharp if he was made available tomorrow?"


In fact will answer it for you as well.... "23 of them"

 

[8lade]

but in fairness he wasn't in form when people criticised him.

 

[Ricky]

Fucking superb today Billy.

This is more like it.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

View from Bradfords end you can hear what they think of him

 

[blade too long]

this season its the first time Billys got the service that suits him, expect him to get 25 plus at this rate

We're doing great, Billy's on fire, everyone's up for it...

Who gives a toss about criticism of Billy from months back.

 

[Lard_Lad]

What was Lavery like when he came on, given Dones poor goalscoring form, it must be worth giving Lavery ago.

He'll go a couple of games soon without scoring and they'll be out again .

Seven days back is closer.

The exact same thing also happened last season...

 

[Bladesman]

They gonna argue all the way home?

McCabe has his calculator out and is pricing up Billy Sharp.

You would have thought that Ladbrokes would have a picture of Billy not a corner flag.

It's not a corner flag, it's Dean Hammond. They need to update their graphics.

Billy isn't and wasn't a problem, he'll always score at this level and should be the first name on the team sheet IMO.

If we do have a concern, I think it's finding another striker who can chip in with goals on a regular basis.

it would be nice if the midfield could get some goals

That man is Leon Clarke when fit

Watched the last two games (before today), where I thought Billy looked sharper and more determined, matching the motivation he showed last season. Although he didn't score against Port Vale, his general performance was a definite step in the right direction. Four goals in the last two shows he's capable of scoring when he's at his best.

Before this he had been in mediocre form, also showed by his goal rate from open play, i.e. penalties excepted. I don't think he was delighted with 3 from 13 starts either. I didn't agree with those who said Sharp's performances were irrelevant, that he was only in the team to finish off chances set up by others. Quite simply, he had to improve.

I think the defeat in the Trophy cup vs Walsall showed us that we weren't anything special unless our attitude is spot on. Despite our unbeaten run, a few of our performances were very average, as Wilder also admitted. But we seem to have used the 11-day break well and we've looked far stronger as a unit, pressing and counter attacking a lot better since. The style of football vs Port Vale and Shrewsbury was similar how it was described at Northampton under Wilder. I think Sharp has also used the break well, realising perhaps that he can't get away with 95% effort and determination.

Is the first time he has scored twice in game for 2 years? Time to click into 4th Billy or you're going to cost us promotion again
