| Since when did people decide that Sharp was apparently 'FC's fastest player'? I've seen this mentioned a few times since the derby but hadn't read it before then.
Fwiw, I always considered Tom Briscoe as the fastest player in FC's first team (although I understand that Jack Briscoe and Tom Lineham are both very quick too, but as they haven't played in SL yet I can't compare).

| Quote ="Staffs FC"Sharp was done one on one by footwork initially which put him half a pace behind and slightly off balance as he started his chase. I was disappointed he didn't have enough pace to catch Hodgson but not massively surprised. He doesn't possess out and out pace. Played well bringing the ball away during the previous 79 mins.'"
Finally some sense !

Your either a well bulked up player on the wing who bulldozers over or your a skinny guy who has pace, Sharp has neither!
Yes I know he has improved and gives 100% etc but Im sorry if your a winger and your getting beat in a footrace by a guy as slow as that then its bloody embarrasing!'"
Whats embarrassing is this post mate.
1, where the ferk do you get it from that Hodgson is slow because he is not!!!
2, beaten in a footrace ???????? you do recal he had to turn and chase dont you ???
3, Sharp had a fine game sky plus is your friend watch it again
4, hodgsons initial break was by using a cracking step and then a head start

| Sharp had a cracking game and ws just caught a little flat footed. Hodgson is also quick and those first few yards made all the difference.

He had plenty of time to chase him down but knew that hodgson was pulling away from him and tried to ankle tap him so my point of him paceless is correct imo.
Turner was the guy who was the main culprit but at the end of the day it just looked really poor and sharp made hodgson look like usain bolt

No, he's far from incorrect. I'm quite happy to point out Sharp's strengths but it's idiotic to ignore his weaknesses. Sharp doesn't posses the pace of most other SL wingers, and almost never catches a man once he's past him. Also, I can't remember seeing Hodgson outpace anyone for the last 3 seasons, other than Sharp. I have however, seem loads of players track back and catch him.
Sharp has a tremendous attitude and his effort is second to none. He's also deceptively strong for a relatively small man. He is not particularly quick though, can be caught out of position and isn't particulary safe under a high ball compared to other wingers, although he's improved his catching this season.
I like Sharp because of his attitude, but personally believe Lineham would be the better option for the first team. There is no question marks over his pace, and he is also strong.

I'm sure at some point that Lineham will get his chance, but fortunately PG is picking the team and not you, so he'll have to wait.

He's not slow but not at the top end of fast either. For example how many times have we seen Sharp do to an opponent what Hodgson did to him - ie skin someone on the outside then maintain/widen the gap to score ? He has other strengths notably the way he brings the ball out but backing himself on the outside of a defender with raw pace isn't something he does.

| He isn't a paceless winger. He had done a lot of work during the game and he was tired. It was also a mistake on his behalf and possibly seymour's but at the end of the day we should have been good enough to see the game out. Players make mistakes all the time and that was one. We all know he has a bit of speed. That one mistake alone doesn't make him a pace less winger. Get a grip idiot. One of these trigger happy fans arent you?

Can't beleive that some people are shrugging off the loss of turner but then trying to claim that sharp is worth keeping

That's what I'm drifting towards now. I maintained last year that Sharp was not as bad as people were making out, and he has improved vastly this year, but still not enough and I'm not convinced he's got any further improvement left. Wouldn't be too bothered either way about him, really.

| If Sharp goes and if Briscoe goes who will be our wingers next season? Can't see Lineham being ready and haven't heard any rumours about new wingers.

Well Briscoe won't go but were signing Jason Crookes from Bradford.
