Sheffield Fan
Sadly I do not think they will win anything. They need to consolidate this season get some new players and then start hard next season.

niaoka klingshirn
i think they can win

Gary
The only thing the Sharks can win this season is the BBL trophy. And thats an outside chance.. Need new players quick!

Ollie
Sharks were godawful against Milton Keynes and slumped to defeat. No defensive play at all and not quick enough in attack. I am new to the city and came with the impression that the Sharks were like the Manu of English basketball! On this form your not going to win anything. A long, tedious season ahead methinks

louis
no i dont think so because the team has not got enough team chemistry so they will have to work on that, and make winning the bbl next seasons goal. i also think they should give the younger player eg nigel van oostrum and will hall more play time.

Tim
Sharks are winning nothing.. everyone can see that their is unrest in the camp

Shark Lover
The Sharks are winning nothing this season... They are poor and Coach Scants need to sort this out as we have a rich history!!!

Sam Jenkinson
the sharks will not win the BBL this season because they are a useless team and i think that Peter Scantleberry will get sacked bring back Chris Finch

Chris D
Saturdays game against London was very poor. There was no spark there like the beginning of the season. Come on guys you are better than this.

Danny
The team don't seem to be gelling together. It'll be interesting to see how the first half of the season goes!

Sharks Fan
the team are not pulling together and rumour has it that there is tension in the camp !!

Sharks123
They were rubbish against the panthers.. We're winning nowt all this season.

Mary C
The Sharks look shakey and the three home loses will cost us dearly. Pete needs to sort this out or we'll win nothing

Chris D
The Sharks should go and see the U13's who played brilliantly on Saturday.

Phil Proctor
Yes they can. Last night (02/11,)in 2 and half minutes, the Sharks came from 15 points down to scoring 16 points, and being ahead in the 4th quarter. Such basketball if replicated regularily over the next 5/6 months shows they could do it. But the more they lose now the harder it becomes to win the league.

Shark Lover
Its a shame they lost against the Panthers. They need to pull it together and start winning games.

ian hemmingham
I think they will win the bbl this season because we have good players and are very commited to win it this year

James Howard
Good to see the Sharks on the top. We should win something this season and the team look great.

steve cox
Hi. can you ask Pete to flex his coaching skills on the team
