Sharp is going to be a decent asset for us, but I would bench him for a couple of games I think and go with Doukara and Antenucci. I like Antenucci, can't see him scoring loads but he is a willing runner and has some quality about him.
Disagree. We've moved on from hoofball to keepball. We spend 80% of our possession in our own half. Our midfield is too far behind the forwards, and we have very little penetration. We're too slow to attack too. Long, long way to go. Very frustrating.
And with Adyran and Montenegro still to come, the future looks a hwell of a lot brighter then it did at begining of season. Bianci looks solid, and dependable, and I like the look of Sloth. Puzzled why Redders took him off, and replaced him with Austin, but our Jamaican put in an intelligent shift
Sharp's kept himself fit whilst at Southampton, but the lack of first team football will have made him rusty on the pitch
Delighted to see that Fulham got stuffed again today. Suspect it won't be this season that McContract will be 'remembered as the guy who got Fulham promoted'. Might be never. LOL. Nice to see that agent Smith is helping our cause.
Sharp of course scored on his debut, and because of that, we are maybe expecting more of him too quickly. The goal he scored was a gimme. Shaks would have have been all over it, even after a skinful. He needs game time!!!

Agreeing with you yet again WJ The passing is much improved but it's effectively useless because we don't do anything with the ball, and when we do it's in front of the opposition's defence. Hopefully Adryan can act as the link player because the forwards are so isolated from the midfield. Frustrates me that we still don't have any width in the squad, even as an option off the bench!

Darren O'Dea has parted company with Ukrainian side Metalurg Donetsk, with who he signed over a year ago, due to the city being a war-zone at present. He told the BBC this week: "Things have escalated. Donetsk is a no-go place at the moment. He is training at Celtic, but is a free agent
To be honest, I really think we lack wide men/wingers. Thats why we lack penetration imo. and also why the so called "keepball" as some are putting it isn't creating as much as we'd like. I really hope we change from that ****ty formation. It just seems like we want all of Bianchi, Cook and Mowatt playing and thats the main reason we play it. I'd personally get Doukara on one wing and Montenegro on the other and I think that'll improve us tremendously. There is a fair bit for our team to go yet but there are signs
