I agree with giving a new manager a chance, but I really didn't much rate Sheridan's reading of the game last night. Sounded very old school, not much sophistication in the post-match analysis and not obviously into individual player psychology, areas where I think Wellens was quite progressive. ?

It may well be because he’s been told it won’t be long before Power leaves and a new man comes in. Everything feels very temporary at the moment. No strategy, or long term planning - understandably in many respects due to C19. Just week to week and hope someone with some ability to fund a club comes along.

You may be right but it's strange that Wright hasn't left to go with Wellens

Not when Swindon appoint a man Wright has known since the early 1980s and has been assistant to him on three other occasions.

Easy to say it doesn’t matter a great deal, but Sheridan and Wright don’t strike you as a particularly inspiring duo to go into work for each day. Not many laughs there.
The players will see it that way.

Sorry Grenouille Rouge, I appear to have tickled your toes over recent weeks. It seems now regardless of my responses you get a bit uptight. You haven't always been like this. Sorry my French dwelling haricot RE: Post length on the contrary...there was and is more to be said. It was rather terse on the subject matter.

Absolutely. I know we had just lost last night but I mentioned it whilst he was speaking; Jaiyesimi seemed to be going through the motions in his post match interview. It is just the way i heard it but no doubt i'll get accused of being some kind of linguistics specialist on here just for sharing that opinion. Players often say they don't let "off-field issues" impact them on the pitch but it definitely does for some more than others.

On the contrary, I wish you made all your points so concisely. No, I hadn’t been drinking. Did my post suggest otherwise?

Why should the length of my posts (whether short or long) really bother people that much? It's ridiculous and verges on a dictated form, for forum etiquette. I never tell anyone else they have written too much or too little (unless countering the disdain to my own post length). I never said you were upset. Uptight but not upset. Drinking?! I never suggested you had. It's entirely up to you how you wish to interpret it though, of course

Non too happy about this. Losing NH makes me think that is not all well in the camp, not that I am anywhere being itk just a feeling from the recent radio interviews that a change of management has meant a change of ideas about how the game should be played.

Also Hunt came across as a decent guy and one the fans could relate too

I exchange texts occasionally with a former podcast guest and it's always been pretty clear, from what I've been told, that Noel Hunt was very popular with the players. The 'good cop'.
Hunt is based in Berkshire but since leaving Reading FC he's gone from Leeds to Ipswich to Southend to Portsmouth to Wigan to Waterford to Swindon so he clearly knows hotel life/time away from the family.
I'm no ITK but I imagine he gave it a try under Sheridan knowing that the Salford job was on the table/on its way and after a few weeks decided that it wasn't for him.
The fact that he was essentially demoted from Assistant to First Team coach (if technical area positioning is anything to go by) made this news feel inevitable.
As it's been mentioned previously, this just adds to the feeling that we are currently under a short-term management team due to Power's desire to bail.

I think starting our lump of a centre half upfront tells us that without the need for any analysis of radio interviews!
