    Sharpie hero to zero with the swoop of a pen
    I am adamant the recruitment last season would have won the league with a fair wind
    So I am more than willing to trust their judgement over keyboard warriors, who don’t know the full picture

    Since he's left footed, that would suggest him and Kelly (if he resigns) for left centre back.

    We need a commanding central centre back because neither Byrne or Baldwin can do that.

    Well, two further centre backs and three if Kelly doesn't sign assuming we have the same level of injuries as last year.

    Gent got pelters for doing exactly what Sharpe now appears to be doing.

    The recruitment team got it largely right last season. As uninspiring as it seems, he’ll be part of a bigger picture so lets wait for the remaining pieces of the jigsaw before losing our shit.

    Yes. Our focus of attention appears to have moved in a south-westerly direction ...from Middlesboro' to Wigan!

    Yep gone from the Middlesbrough former players with Gent to the ex Mansfield/Wigan ones with Sharpe (Johnson, Lapslie, Tilt).

    We had similar comments last season about the defence and the worries were unfounded

    Mmmmm. Not sure about that one. If they got past him that was him done from what I remember.

    It's like when we sign someone that everyone bigs up and he turns out crap.
    We don't know anything until a ball is kicked and we see the players play together.

    And in terms of that commanding CB, now we’ve signed the 33 year old Tilt, it might mean Pearson isn’t coming? That would be one very slow backline…..

    I'm hoping this means Kelly has decided not to stay and Tilt is Kelly's replacement which would probably change my perspective on the signing.

    So unfounded that we brought in 3 defenders in the January window.
