Really matured in to a highly competent all round CF. Thought he did very well today.

Might just be the best CF in L1.

He's probably one of the best strikers we could attract whilst we're in this league but going out and proving that is another matter.

I think he'll have a good season though, would be great for us and him alike.
 
Today he did what mcnulty hasn't got yet ,and that's not a pop at mcnulty ,just that you can see billy is higher standard . As for che he's a game changer
 
Billy has always been a very clever footballer.

Great applause when he was subbed off.

Can he score enough goals at this level? that is the question.

That's really my point Fulwood.

Assuming he stays fit and healthy, and thus plays enough games, would it be a failure if he scored "only" a dozen or so goals but otherwise contributed significantly to the sides overall success ??

Because he is "labelled" as a scorer, suspect many will judge him solely on goals scored. Which is a shame.

The goal scoring charts in the past few years has been noticeable by the absence of any player with SUFC after his name.

Sharp may get 20 goals, I just doubt it, but his intelligent play could create for others.

Adkins says a team going up needs to score 86 goals - I question where these are going to come from.

I can see us have 2 sets of forwards - bit like Warnock had. As today Higdon and mcnuts on for 30 minutes.

Do we have a 25/30 goal striker? A team that finishes top 2 generally does.

Very pleased with Billy's all round play and some exiting stuff from Che. The spine looks much stronger as well.

Be great to get off to a flyer - we will see.

Adams, given the opportunity, may well be that man based on pre-season.

Billy played well today, I have full confidence he'll be great for us this season.
Something else I liked was that he was always talking to Adams, instructing him where to be which is great for Che's learning.

We all know what BS does when he as got the ball . Its what he does when he hasnt , that will pay dividends to the rest of the team and certain individuals.

Thought Sharp's all round play was excellent, he's a better player than the one we saw last time round.

Che and Adams are more than capable of 20 goals each this season.
 
Sharp is good when the ball is played to his feet but still not that good when the ball is played in front of him (he failed to be quick enough to react to James Wallace's pass to the right wing). Warnock and Blackwell preferred our midfielders to pass the ball in front of wingers or strikers

I hope he does - looked strong and quick today.

Got a feeling Che will play wide right (no JCR, No Flynn, done unfit - perhaps woolford, but sooooo left footed) - wouldn't like to think Scoogs will start v Gills.
Billy up top with ?????

Be great if we could stop conceding free headers from corners and free kicks when players switch off
Doesnt matter how many you score when you do that

If it's any consolation, we looked much better with balls into our box - Hull had a few corners today.

We actually looked to attack the ball as it came in and compete for the ball - far better than last season already !

That he was OK with the ball JCR played in front of him, that ended up in the net !

Saw that on the video. JCR played a diagonal ball to Sharp which is harder for the defence (especially at non league level like Maccs) to read and Sharp is good at reading diagonal balls (have watched him since he was in Academy so I know he has some good strengths) but playing a ball in front of him is more difficult for him for reasons I have explained above
