Stint in the U-20s will do him no harm...its not just this match though,he fecked up last week and has been caught out of postion in other matches...id have to see it again but i thought he was at fault for 1st try as he seemed to get sucked infield...got slagged off by all around me for saying it but looked like it to me........

He's 24 not 17! He runs hard and works all game and he's got balls in the way he keeps coming back for more BUT he really ought to have learned the basics of positional play and needs to cut out his high profile clangers. I think him learning in the first team is a luxury we can't afford at the moment.

Why? What are we going to actually achieve this season?

He is a far better player than Lynn imo. I reckon Whiting may get put on the wing. Or if Gleeson comes then Turner might go there.

Harsh on Sharp though, okay he has made the odd error but I think he has done well.

Too much manby pamby rubbish being thrown around on this thread for my liking.

The fact is Sharp has been shocking far too often this year. You can argue all you like about who should or shouldnt have dealt with that kick last night, but the fact remains that Sharp was in a position to diffuse the situation and fluffed it horribly.

He made a great run from acting half last night, but then had a brain freeze moment 20 seconds later and decided to put in the most terrible kick on the 3rd tackle. Unfortunately, his brain freeze moments occur far too often.

I can see that he is putting in sufficient effort, but the cold hard facts are that at this moment in time he is not good enough and teams will continue to exploit his weaknesses.

If some fans choose to boo, then that's their business, after all players are only too happy to accept the cheers when things are going well so should be prepared for a bumpy road when they are under performing. However, what some of the "perfect fans" on here seem to forget is that the boo birds don't come out willy nilly and boo every knock on or missed tackle, they come out when players make continued mistakes for a prolonged period of time and at the moment, Sharp falls into that bracket.

Well summed up that.
I think the fact that the opposition coaches have chosen to target him relentlessly speaks volumes.
That said, I do like the kid and hope he improves and does well for us. He needs to focus more in defense.

I think some time in the 20s might benefit him in terms of confidence. He's made a couple of glaring errors in the last 2 weeks and is sometimes, if not always, at fault positionally. Still a young lad maybe just a few weeks out of the first team pressure cooker might help him. He has a lot of positives to his game as well as the headline negatives.

agreed what a cokk

hope he will get a centre who works with him, yes he makes mistakes but hes been left out to dry on a few occasions

No-one is claiming to be a "perfect fan" just because they find booing individual players (or ironic cheers when they are subbed) wrong.

People are entitled to do it, I just think it makes them look idiots.
