Where does Billy Sharp rank?

[PLAIN BLADE]

"Faster than our Kes" , Radio Sheffields Jud used to say , always creased me up did Jud ,wonder where he is now ?

 

[Beans]

That said, what’s the actual source for these stats?

I too have many questions about this. 36km/h is fast enough to run the 100m in 10 seconds flat. Obviously you don't start the 100m race at top speed but still.

 

[Harry's Game]

Legs have gone.

Unless it tells you over what distance it’s a pretty meaningless stat.

 

[Hague Blade]

It's top speed, right? Suspect he covered a couple of metres at that pace, not a hundred

Now I’m not saying that “@The_Bladesman” doesn’t have the means or mind to hack the data directly from the Shirecliffe Data Vaults, but it would be good to have a bit more meat on the data: Top speed, average speed, average acceleration. Fleck for example I don’t think is particularly quick, but I do, using my unscientific measurement of what-I’m-watching, think he’s perhaps near the top of the acceleration charts.

AFAIK companies like Opta keep this kind of physical data (speeds, number of sprints, distance covered etc) under lock and key rather than dumping it in the public domain, so I'm genuinely curious where this is taken from seeing as that account generally just seems to aggregate other news stories.

Measured in this way, I reckon Ryan Fraser harnessing gravity is quicker than any Olympic sprinter.

 

[8lade]

I was going to call BS on this but... a quick Google tells us Bolt reached a speed of 44.64 kph so i'm going to go with the numbers now.

 

[ZLB]

In United's all time list of league goal scorers?

Anybody got the complete list?

He’s the big man. The numero uno honcho. The big cheese.

 

[Silent Blade]

He is quick off the mark but after 10 yards, forget it!

 

[S64 Blade]

Didn’t one of the players once say Sharp was the quickest? I’m sure on one of the official media videos with someone like McBurnie, they were asked who was the fastest and they said Billy.

Egan and Callum Robinson had a quiz in which they had to name the 10 fastest United players on FIFA. Robinson guessed Sharp, it wasn’t in there, and he was was quite surprised.

How surprised?

This surprised.

Maybe they thought the question was "Whose the fattest?"

CBA to read all this but has any one already posted, "in the shitter" ?

[DronnieBlade]

Absolutely 100% remains our best shot at scoring sufficient goals to justify minutes on the pitch.

Legs have gone.
In fact they went several years ago so fuck knows where they are now.

Although it won’t be far because they are so slow.

 

[Grappler]

That has to be some sort of record?

 

[wizadry]

Still the best out and out goal scorer at the club and the pelters he gets from some quarters is wank, especially considering the sums of money spent on some of our other less able strikers, who coincidentally get protected to high heaven.

 

[wizadry]

Billy and Didzy is still our best partnership, why this is never tried in the Prem is anybodies guess. I mean he’s tried everything else bar this partnership, it doesn’t make sense.

Whilst Moose is injured anyway.

If we could find a way to have Billy, Didzy, and Brewster on the pitch at the same time it'd be great.

There will be a way, it just needs Wilder to tweak the formation, although I’d personally wait until Brewdog gets up to shape first, he looked very rusty today which is no surprise really.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

Sharp should start. Sub him when he's knackered, rather than bring him on when our starting strikers have failed to put the ball in the net again.

Is it time to change the manager?

The next logical step to this thread is the classic "what won't you miss about The Premier League?". Scheduled for November I believe that one I've written and saved my draft. Along with a piece about how the Premier League is a waste of time anyway.

He did a bit, but hard to judge based on how badly we were playing at that point and the bang to the head.

We just need 3 attack focused players, that's it, would solve so many problems.

Burke and McGoldrick are capable of holding and linking, and would chip in with the odd goal. Play them behind some strikers.

Sharp and one of Moose/Brewster when they're up to it are the players we have on the books who know where the net is. McBurnie might even get going with the service a 10 would afford.

With dyslexia it’s best I don’t respond to the thread question.

Agreed but I didn’t like the post because I don’t think Norwood is toast at this level, first half today he was pure class and no one in this team could do what he did in that first half, we should’ve been out of sight with the openings we were creating in the first half where Norwood was at the forefront of it, just need a striker with the know how to finish them off. Hmmmm

 

[Dalelane01]

Where does billy rank
Joint top scorer.he came on just at the right time .great substitution.did chris know we were going to get a pen .

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

The year is almost 2021 and our joint top scorer in the Premier League is a 34 year old who Nigel Adkins signed when we were in League One.

Ain't football just great?
