The best thing was when in the first half, a ball got played up to him, he was 100% favourite to get it and bring it down, only for him to latch onto it, he then let it run and run because his touch is that bad leading to him kicking it out for a goal kick, not even a throw in, embarrassing. Stangely enough though we were shite when he went off, just shows how you need to get the right balance.

Oh yes, that one as well. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. How can a pro misjudge the travel of the ball and the size of the pitch to that extent? All he had to do, literally, was put his foot on the ball. He barely even had to extend himself. I think he might be a special needs footballer.

What an absolute sack of shite that guy is. No aggression, abysmal anticipation, no technical qualities whatsoever and his lack of aggression and laziness make sure he wastes whatever physical attributes he has!

Surely we knew all this when we scouted him?
 
Even in a first half display when most played much better than recent games, Sammon still managed to embarrass himself with how poor his all round game was.
 
I agree he's continuing to be poor and is a long way off what we need.

Did anyone think he should have had a penalty before Billy got his ?

Looked a stonewaller to me but no one else has mentioned it.

Come to think of it now yes, he seemed to be simply taken out.

Would need to see a replay though.

Does everyone still think we don't need any help upfront?

We're down to the one functioning striker now and he's not immune to bad form.

Makes you wonder about this "vast squad" nonsense we're peddled when you look at Peterboro's options up front - Washington,Angol, Gormley, Coulibaly, plus two forwards out on loan (Vassell & James) as well as various attacking midfield options (Otzumer, Maddison, Taylor, Anderson, Samuelson).

Loads of squad options in defence & midfield too. And they pounce on the first day the transfer window opens to bring in Lawrie Wilson.

"Little old Peterborough" / "sleeping giant" Sheffield United. Lol.
 
Unsure about him.

is he effective enough to be worth keeping?
 
It really riled me how he 'trudged' off the pitch after being subbed wasting precious time.

There was also a point in the 1st half where he lost the ball and made 0 effort to win it back.

Think he's realising his career is going nowhere .... It's a no from me.

Why ?

Is it cos they are similar ?

Would anyone take a front pair of Billy Sharp with a cloned Billy Sharp !?

Think your so wrong.

Suffice to say I cannot imagine McNulty and Sharp being any "worse" than fish n Sharp. And he appears to be in decent form, which for a striker counts for loads.

He had a poor game today, problem with Sammon is he has too many foolish moments in games, foolish moments that stand out too much.
He is very useful linking up play, he can layoff the ball well and we have seen the odd sweet finish from him. So maybe it's a confindence thing, I don't know but if we play him right he certainly can be a useful player.

His concentration is not there pal, he often seems to realise that he is the nearest to their ball carrying player, two seconds too late, so they are already on the break.
 
Any comments on the lack of pace in our squad other than Done do we have anyone never mind three or four lads like the posh had yesterday??
 
People say Billy and McNulty are too similar. The main similarities I see are that they both have good movement and both score goals. If they played together they would learn each other's runs and, I think, could be a very potent strike force.

It would make things easier for our midfielders and wingers having two strikers pulling defenders allover and making good runs into space. For me, it has to be worth a try.

This. Exactly this.

McNulty has 6 in 9, not all of which have been starts. Ok it's Div 4 !!

Only Armstrong at Cov has more Div 3 goals than Sharp, and he has missed a shitload too.

While accepting that modern football for strikers is not just all about scoring, it remains the key ingredient.

I rarely slag off a Blades player, but bugger me I slated Sammon the second he signed for us.
First Blades striker ever to make me long for Laurent D'Jaffo. He couldn't jump either, but at least he was registered disabled.
We need a target man or two in the squad (always useful to have one on the bench) to help out the dwarves, but as earlier posts said, Davies from last year would be ideal (let alone O'Grady), even bloody Higgy would be an improvement.

As I said, I rarely slag a Blade, but Sammon, let's be raight- misses sitters, can't jump, nesh, brings nowt, shite

Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen were wonderful players. Both streets ahead of Sharp and McNulty as they were quicker and better in the air but Fowler and Owen didnt work well together as a pair at Liverpool as you can see in the comments below.

I recall Dave Watson saying that he and Craig Short found it easy playing against Owen and Fowler as a pairing because it was predictable that Liverpool wouldnt play high balls. Can you name a strike paring that was successful even though they werent quick or strong in the air?

There really is no doubting that he is Irish is there? :rolleyes:
 
Sammon is mystifying. He does some really good stuff and has the odd game where he looks a real player. But then he'll be dire and play seemingly half asleep for a spell.

I suspect he fundamentally lacks self belief. Less gifted players have had better careers than him.

Can't explain it but we played better with him on. Baxter and Adams were a reight waste o' space today

Agree pal, not sure why but we did play better with him on. Come to think of it we hit the woodwork twice yesterday, which could have gone in on other days. Then again, knowing us, probably not!

One pairing that worked well in the lower leagues and coincidentally it was in an Adkins side was Andy Keogh & Billy Sharp. Keogh's role was pivitol in making this combination so successful, personally I thought out of all the players in our side Matty Done would have been the one closest to being capable to playing Keogh's role, however since those days Sharp's all round game has changed so maybe that - amongst other reasonings, is a factor in why we aren't going down that route
