    A great win for the whites last night 3-1 away, but I am of the opinion from now on that Sharp should not be in the starting line up. I do not think it is a coincidence that in the last 2 games when Sharp has been subbed the performance has improved.

    Its not that I don`t like the lad Sharp but the system/way we play means we need pace up front, people who can run in behind like Doukara & Antenucci did last night.

    I just think Sharp is to slow to play the way we want to hence why we improve when he is taken off and we play with pace upfront. When we have pace upfront it is easier for players like Bianchi to play balls in behind the oppositions defence for players to run on to, Sharp imo can not offer this option when up top, he is a box sniffer but we need more of a link up man with pace to run in behind, e.g Doukara?Antenucci/Montenegro.


    So against the dog brothers I would start with Doukara & Antenucci up top and bring Adryan in behind. <ok>

    Sharps at top player at this division his experience brings a lot to the squad! He's not getting the service to score goals he's a natural poacher. Give it time and it'll work out for him here

    The problem with Sharp is that he comes alive in the box and we're creating very little in that area. When he's getting on the ball he's outside the box and has the defenders in front of him - that's not his game. The way we play doesn't really get the best out him to be honest.
