Although Sharp carries an attacking threat, his defence is somewhat lacking. I thought the decision to bring on Whiting late in the game was spot on. The game was won and with Whitings better defence we had a far more solid look. Agar was closing down the game. Whiting may not like the utility player tag but he is such a good utility player and as such the ideal player to have on the bench. I bet all of us breathed a big sigh of relief when Rich replaced Sharp. He must have the safest, most unflappable pair of hands in the game.

Fair enough...plenty to mouth off about ...think its harsh on Hame tbh.

BUT , there's no getting away from the fact that when a guy as big as him gets his hands on an opposite number he should 9 times out of 10 stop them and do some damage in the process. He just doesn't do that , he flaps with his arms and gets no impact. Whether that's lack of aggression , desire, technique I don't know and all of those may be as a result of poor coaching , poor fitness etc but whatever the reason(s) it ain't happening and at a time when according to him he's looking for a new contract. I don't disagree that he's been better of late but that's way from being good enough and he's not on his own.

As was Houghton's attempt just before it. And for the breakaway try in the first half that was a Yeaman spot tackle that went wrong and sold us completely down the river. Fact is there are any number of players making poor mistakes week in and week out.

Which brings us back to issues with the coaching or lack of it. For me if we were doing so well in training as Agar keeps banging on about then surely purely on the law of averages we would actually put this so called work in training into a game and as yet we have seen precious little coming through.

He said only a few weeks ago that the buck stops with him, nothing has changed and nothing seems to be working so he has to go.

I see we made one at half time
