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).

Finally some sense !

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

so what your really saying is you need someone to blame

Think the mofo proved that.

so do you think we should re sign sharp? or go maybe for another winger or give lineham a runout?

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

My point was that sharp is paceless and hodgson proved that.

only your opinion though, and incorrect

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.
