Well played Billy Sharp

[Gretsch Blade]

Scored one, made one. Captains performance, caused havoc all day and ran his socks off!
Well played Bill!

Looking forward to watching him play in the championship next season at the lane.

Still the striker who fits our system the best!

If he'd have had McGoldrick or Burke alongside him today, He'd have had a field day...

1000%

 

[Muttley]

Old school Billy...not with his back to goal.

 

[Tarqs]

Whilst he took his goal well and set one up, he should have had at least 2 more and never worked the keeper on either.

 

[Chabuddy G]

Great performance and goal contributions against a League One side. But we know he can’t do it at PL level, so let’s not revert to playing him please

 

[DronnieBlade]

The best crosser of the ball at the club IMHO as was evidenced yet again for today’s assist.

The best finisher, which is more fact than opinion.

The best leader of the line. As above !!

Criminal the lack of PL pitch time he has had.

If he starts he'll get 15+ league goals

He had 4 chances today, finished well with one, didn't hit the target with any of the others.

He was the best finisher without a doubt and still is, but that's down to how poor our others strikers are.

And he'll still get slagged off.

 

[Pedro Verde]

Great all round performance from Billy
He will be vital next season and an inspiration and role model to Brewster
Hes given a big fuck off to all those that said his legs were gone

Spent £50m+ on strikers and he's still probably our best option.

Now does that reflect on him or the others??

Brewster was simply awful today! If that's a glimpse of how he'll be next season then I'm very worried....

34 - At 34 years and 353 days, Billy Sharp is the oldest player to both score and assist a goal in an FA Cup game for a Premier League side since Ryan Giggs against Fulham in January 2013 (39y 58d). Vintage. https://t.co/zGcREE28ni

They criticise but will still do well next season. May have downsides but still is a "Great goal scorer"

 

[nopigfansintown]

Legend.

More than a 'goal scorer'. I only hope Brewster was watching him up close today and realise he needs to significantly up his work rate, energy, urgency and dedication to the cause...

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

His goal today was the best example of clinical finishing and natural scoring instinct since the last time I saw Billy Sharp score in open play.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

We have spent over £55m on strikers since promotion.

How come Didsy and Billy are still the best 2 we have?

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Couple of nice bits of play but needs to stop committing pointless fouls. Probably no point telling him at his age though.

Surely that says more about the other strikers than Billy? 40/50m spent, and he's still hands down the best finisher in the club, the saddest thing is, it's not even close.

Both Individually and as a pairing. Scary when you think about it !

Travesty the gaffer does not see it that way.

Should be Dids and Burke for the next 2 but a Sharp n Dids pairing thereafter deserves a run of a few games.

....and why was’nt he on the goal line to block their goal?

If we'd bought two decent, athletic, physical midfielders instead of spunking it on a 5th choice striker - all 3 could be in the starting line up!!

Exactly

Said the same today.

McGoldrick with 5 league goals and 1 assist, Billy with a couple and looking like the only proper centre forward we have that can reliably kick it inside the posts.

Couple of big money signings and McGoldrick and Sharp is still appears to be the best we've got.

I'm sure we do have better on the books ability wise, but it's totally on the people we've brought in for not having it within themselves to perform in the current circumstances, and I think to some extent the coaching staff for not getting it out of them.

 

[wavy-blade]

Said all along play Billy , got slagged off , "he's not the answer" etc ect , I wish he would have had the time Brewster's had on the pitch might have got a few more points now !

And my list of strikers who clearly can ‘do it’ at PL level and should therefore be selected ahead of him is ........
