Time's up Billy

[Bert]

Sadly today was another example of Old Father Time claiming another.

Add Basham - surprisingly for me, but he looks done as anything but a sub

These two can play big parts but shouldn't start anymore

Bash is on awful form and a shadow of himself, but I don't think there's any reason to think 'hos legs have gone'. He'll be back.

Sorry for calling him a ho, doesn't deserve that.

 

[Bladesman]

Not sure Sharp did that much wrong he played it back across goal for McAtee to bundle home.

Basham on the other hand looks awful and has done for a while.

 

[JJ Sefton]

He might not have been at his best today, but our big problems weren’t at his end of the pitch.

 

[Blades98]

Didn't think Sharp was that bad BUT thought we looked miles better in attack when Brewster and McBurnie came on.

 

[Katzenjammer]

Yes, because out of a side containing Basham and Egan and a midfield that was placed there for mere decorative purposes, the forward who got an assist is definitely the one who deserves a thread...

Bert has had a few glasses of rum.

 

[Drunk blade]

Wish sharp had been on for the penalty

Agree completely. Starting to be concerned about Egan too.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Agree completely. Starting to be concerned about Egan too.

The Egan - Basham combination has been at fault a hell of a lot over the last season or 2

Mainly failure to deal with crosses, and individual errors (mainly from Egan)

Agree. Until the manager realised 20 mins after everyone else we were going to get battered with a back 4 and reverted to normal. Shame he didn'tget the message to Wes to stop giving the ball to RND who gave it to Ozzy, both of whom were pressed hard before we conceded 2 ridiculous goals as a consequence.

 

[Sean Thornton]

It’s not as if Bert has proffered a sack, some house bricks and a lift to the canal. He’s just not the player he was due to age.

Exactly.

 

[Woodhouseblades]

Still got an assist but he disappeared after the first 20

 

[robbiez666]

So, he set out first up after setting up a disallowed goal, tested the keeper first half which someone should be following in on and we were 2-0 and you're singling him out as has it?

I think he is on his way out but he's about 5 times more effective than Brewster at running the line.

Hes an impact sub at best now unfortunately, but hes not the only player that should start on the bench.

 

[puppet]

He was instrumental in setting up the offside goal and the first goal, held it up well for others to feed off to be fair.

 

[Drunk blade]

Don't agree we scored two with Sharp upfront on his own and had another disallowed for offside

Plus if sharp steps up for the penalty you're 90% certain he will score, if its brewster or mcburnie its 90% that they will miss

 

[LJBlade]

Sadly today was another example of Old Father Time claiming another.

I agree, we can’t be giving him any time to get up to speed after coming back from injury. Same with Osborn really.

 

[Champagneblade]

Easy to say thst he assisted therefore nothing wrong but Billy hasn't done anything so far when he's played.

In contrast, Brewster played and scored last week and McBurnie was on a run of 5 from 7.

No idea how he managed to leapfrog those two.

Sort of call Warnock used to make when Sharon had a dream!

 

[PageHallBlade]

hes a yard of the pace and i dont understand how he started ahead of mcburnie against a team that were from the land of the giants, for me hes (now) a sub to come on 20 minutes from end but i dont think hes need putting down yet as he offers a lot its just hes not as quick as he was

 

[Rufus Smalls]

The problem is when Osborn does get up to full speed he should only be a sub.

McBurnie playing with an injury again.

 

[Gin&Juice]

We’ve spent 50 million ish on strikers. Relying on Billy Sharp shouldn’t be the answer. Build the statue, but he shouldn’t be starting with the amount we’ve paid on others.

Not Billy’s fault. Not good enough to start, not the answer. Blind loyalty isn’t going to help us.

 

[LJBlade]

Assuming others are back from injury?

 

[Bladesman]

McBurnie playing with an injury again.

Everyone has an injury. I picked up an injury just watching the game.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Assuming others are back from injury?

Yes. It just goes to show how bad our injury list is that he’s in the starting 11 straight after being out for a few weeks.

 

[LJBlade]

Exactly

And to be fair that demonstrates the problem we currently have. From the starting line up today, Baldock, Basham, Osborn McAtee and Sharp would all be on the bench if all of the others were back from injury and/or not carrying knocks. That’s half of the current starting 11 (or outfield 10, I should say)
