Billy Sharp

[Wright1889]

How has he not started more?

His all round game seems to only get better and I’m sure he’s getting faster..

 

[JimmyMuir94]

Playing just as good as Didzy for me..

To be fair, McBurnie is playing really well too, he’s dropping off more like Diddzy would

 

[JayGreen17]

If we were playing anyone else out of the top 6 we would be causing all heaps of problems, Billy needs to be starting.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Thought he was excellent tonight, feeding off scraps. Himself & McBurnie were our two best outfield players.

He looked disappointed to come off, but it was only down to the team becoming more desperate & knocking it long into channels that negated his ability to offer anything positive. It was the right change to make, at the right time, Billy was just an unfortunate victim of the circumstances.

He definitely has a role to play in our season. Fair play Skip.

Was brilliant with is back to goal

It was the right change to make, at the right time.

Although we'd probably have scored the chance that Moose tried to backheel if it had fallen to Sharp instead.

We'd never looked getting the ball in that position up to then though, so the change was understandable.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Played well and led the line.

He's THE MAN. I love him and wish he'd started more, he'd have scored a fair few if he'd been given the opportunities. Hope he gets much more game time.

 

[nicksufc]

Far more effective than Robinson has been all season. He should have been given more minutes than he has.

Completely agree how Robbo has started more is a bloody mystery....

 

[VwBlade]

Billy was awesome tonight. He'd probably have made more happen had the ref not continually let Otamendi get away with being all over him

 

[BladeInIreland]

Struggling to see what he did so well. Granted he didn't have much to work off but if any of the others played the same people would be saying they had little impact on the game.

 

[BettingBlade]

Tbh I think Sharp has looked a bit off the pace in games he’s come on this season. I think it’s obvious he’s been down the pecking order. However tonight he was superb. With his back to goal and holding the ball up was fantastic.

Their defence looked shit scared of him

Was is farewell game

Was is farewell game

I very much doubt it.

Wish you'd make a farewell post and fuck off

Playing just as good as Didzy for me..

Sorry mate but this is like comparing a dog with a cat. Billy put in a shift but he's natural in the box putting the ball in the net, Didsy is natural at doing what Sharp did tonight but better at it. You cannot compare the two as they are so different.

But saying that well done BS.

Utterly predictable.

Can't say I was surprised either.

If Didzy is back for Saturday, I'd go with him behind Billy and McBurnie, playing the "Duffy" role with Mo and Ravel in midfield.

I feel as though we've solidified ourselves in the Premiership and can now experiment a little and play a bit more attacking like we did in the championship and league one

We're not over the line yet, February is important. After that id agree but I've a feeling Wilder will be looking to get the highest finish possible. Doubt he will experiment much.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Excellent performance by him today. Well done Billy.

 

[wavy-blade]

He needs another start against lesser opposition, just like on sat ! Or crystal place

Are you being serious? Or am I biting? I’m so confused at this.

 

[Chief14]

Great performance from Sharp, i was up celebrating when he had it in the box in the first half cause I thought he was going to smash it in before he tried to lay it off to Fleck

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Sharp did really well tonight against world class defenders, didn’t look out of place at all.

What is there to be confused about? It's not exactly cryptic

 

[Wright1889]

What is there to be confused about? It's not exactly cryptic

Because we are not going to change from the formation that has got us to where we are right now.

And who is Ravel (Hardly any minutes and not making the bench) coming in for? Fleck who is in the form of his life? Or Norwood who is vital to how we play even when he’s having an off game?

Does this explain why I’m confused?
