O'Driscoll: Praises on-loan Sharp

The Sheffield United forward, on a season-long loan at the Keepmoat Stadium, has been in superb form lately, scoring in each of the previous four games.And he maintained the run in the 12th minute, capitalising on some lax Bristol City defending to bag his seventh in seven games and ninth of the season."Brilliant," O'Driscoll said. "We have a striker in form. Goals change people's perceptions, but he has played exceptionally since day one."He is just bright and breezy and works hard. He likes a physical confrontation, gets battered and bruised in training and gets on with it. When you have a happy player you get performances."He doesn't let anything upset him. He is a good asset. I think the crowd like him and the players appreciate him as well. If he gets chances he takes them."There has been speculation that Sheffield United might recall the 23-year-old but O'Driscoll added: "He is on recall to sell, so they can't recall him unless they have a good offer for him and want to sell."Give me £2million and I'll sign him."Bristol City began slowly and were behind when Cole Skuse headed a backpass directly into the path of Sharp, who took a touch before rifling the ball home.James Coppinger and Simon Gillett each missed chances to double the advantage as Doncaster pressed forward, while City's only shot on goal in the first half was a tame one from Nicky Maynard.The visitors were far stronger after the break and even had a goal ruled out when Danny Haynes was ruled offside."Someone has told me that when the ball was hooked back in he was onside," said City assistant manager Keith Millen."If that's true then it's frustrating, but if you take that away we still haven't worked their keeper enough."City have now lost three times in five games and Millen added: "After Tuesday (when they beat Leicester 3-1) we were looking to build on that and unfortunately we took one step forward and then went two back."In the first half we matched up against them. We made one mistake and Billy Sharp has punished us."We penned them in for long periods in the second half but never really had the quality of balls forward or creativity to make chances."That said, I would say we deserved something. A draw would have been a fair result but you have to give Donny credit."For us, we need to create easier chances. We are making it too hard for ourselves."
