I gave him a reference personally. I wanted to go along because I thought it was really out of character for him,

I haven't forgotten what I've said before, but whether you'd change your No.9 if you don't have your regular No.10 ... that's one of the things we'd have to look at.

I haven't really had a good discussion with him on that side of it yet so we'll do that over the next few weeks.

I heard he [Sharpe] was at the gym this morning, but wasn't on the field. I am expecting him to play. If he's good enough to be sitting there working in the gym, he can't be too bad.

I offered him an opportunity to come off probably a little earlier than he did, but he didn't want to. That was fine with me.

I stressed there is not much between some of the players, so the guys who run out there need to make sure they deliver.

I think there's two issues. Obviously emotionally he's not right and physically he's off the pace. We'll definitely start doing some one-on-one stuff with him shortly so he's on top of that. He's definitely off the pace at the moment and he knows that and I can see that so there's no point in trying to get him to play at anything less than 100 per cent. So I think it's a fairly objective decision.

I think they have a plan and they stick to it, they're ruthless and calculating in how they deliver it.

I'd have to say set piece wise, we were pretty average at times, so there's certainly some improvement there.
|
I'll certainly be making sure Wendell is not in any doubt about my expectations.
|
I'm hoping those two are going to spend a lot of time together over the next few months,
|
I'm not going to panic. I'm not worried about it at the moment.
|
I'm quietly confident he might come through by the end of the week.

I've already heard whispers that the direction 'Knuckles' might take is bigger and stronger.
