Sharp

Did everything Hogan didn't. Tackled, harried, tracked back.

Changed the game completely when he came on. Suddenly we weren't just hanging on, we were getting stuck in and looking dangerous ourselves. Might be his most important performance of the season. What a leader.

I agree but to be fair to hogan (not that he was great) he was up top on his own being our only outlet where as sharp had mcgoldrick.

Master stroke by wilder for the sharp substitute.

Who in turn did more than Madine.

 

[BerksBlade]

2nd goal came because Sharp chased their defender down and forced the corner

Sharp and McGoldrick have got to start every game for the rest of the season for me.

The minimum we should expect from a player is to work hard. Aside from the fact his touch was dogshit, he put in absolutely fuck all effort. Madine was a dick but at least he ran around a bit.

They’re very different players. Sharp, far from being the one-trick pony some of our fans have levelled at him (“when he doesn’t score, he really doesn’t contribute...”) is much more physical, can’t link the play, and leads the line. Hogan is a run into space type with a bit of pace - he’s not a lone striker, and it’s not his fault he was forced to do that today.

Super performance from the skipper tonight - both the first half and second half skippers.

Well done on finding two.negatives after that game

Because those contributed what?

 

[Bobby b]

In fairness to Hogan, playing the lone striker where balls are just lumped up to him isn't his game, he needs balls either into feet or to run onto

We won

After that performance we should play with 10 men,without Madine every week!

Sharp is also fucking smart. Knows exactly how to force the error, win the FK that eases the pressure.

Kudos to CWAK for spotting the issue and making the change. IMO we don't win that if Sharp doesn't come on when he did.

I agree he wasn’t great but I still don’t think he has really had enough of a chance. His poor cutback/shot was frustrating though

Or 11 men without Madine

Hogan did more than Madine and atleast now, you’re admitting his challenge was wrong.

We won

Despite them. The rest were awesome.

A challenge is more than Hogan did all game. Yes the challenge was stupid, just thought it was a yellow.

Depends on the opposition and the state of the match.
Madine has proven that in certain situations he gives us something we’ve not had before.
He gives Wilder an extra tactical option, which is a positive.
Of course the main 2 who work well together are the golden oldies Sharp and McGoldrick.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Can't blame Hogan that it didn't happen tonight. Exceptional circumstances. Take nothing away from Sharp though, he was the perfect player to have on the bench and Wilder played an absolute masterstroke in bringing him on. Just try to admire and relish this time Blades, we're witnessing greatness and a player you'll tell the grandkids about.

I loved it

I'm glad they didn't accept our 4m , he will be on his way back
