New Manager Thread

[Kinky Tom]

Shez is a manager who can galvanise a struggling team and lift them to safety.

I just don’t think he’s capable of progressing any further though. He had something decent going at Oldham 10-12 years ago but it all fell apart.

Yet when he returned to Oldham in January for two seasons in a row in 2016 and 2017 he took what was probably the worst squad in the league, who looked doomed for relegation, on both occasions, and led them to safety.

Contrast that to Wellens who had a squad 3 times as good as Shez had (Wellens had players like Eoin Doyle, Jack Byrne, Keen Bryan, Rob Hunt, Craig Davies) and Wellens ineptly sleep-walked Oldham into relegation. Whereas there’s no way Sheridan would have relegated that Oldham team.

Thanks John

Looking forward to seeing how things might improve for us from here on, thanks for your input, as FH asks, what are we to expect style wise?

[Bob's Orange]

Hope he instructs us to GEEEEEEEEEEERTTT IT FAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRWAAAAAAAAAARD at all opportunities.

[Trippy]

What's his style of play like?

If he’s got the players to do it, he favours a ball on the floor, passing game, he’s not a hoof ball merchant, or at least he wasn’t at Oldham and Chesterfield initially. But this is dictated by the players at his disposal, there were games in both his latter spells at Oldham where he took points off teams at the of the table (Bolton, Sheff Utd) by setting up shop and playing not to lose, where trying to match those teams in playing on the ground would have resulted in losing, but even with those bottom of the league squads there were games where he had them playing some excellent football even if they lost.

Power “He is someone that I have worked with before and that I know well.”

Sheridan: “I don’t really know Lee.”

[Power to people]

I would like to hear from Paul Jewell at some point about his role at the club and the future, probably make an interesting interview

John Sheridan news conference

[Riddick]

Thanks for that HorlocksLegs

Was hard to get excited listening to that. If it was an interview you wouldn't let him near the place. A Classic case of who you know.

He got marginally more human when the adver journo started asking him questions at least.

I think everyone is in agreement. Its stay up and stay in business. Hopefully we can have a few entertaining wins along the way.

[Flashheart]

I know it's hardly an inspiring appointment, but some people really seem to be trying to force the issue.

Who cares if he's a dour fucker? Half the best managers in the world have been. Let's judge him on what happens on the pitch, eh?

[Flashheart]

He's leaving Hunt in charge of tactics tomorrow apparently.

[Peter Venkman]

He's leaving Hunt in charge of tactics tomorrow apparently.

Similar set up to Tuesday will be good, just with Caddis at RB and Odimayo in for Curran but with Grant in for Haines.

Hopefully Fryer will get the nod in goal, we looked far more solid with him there.

Sometimes you just want your keeper to be a keeper innit.

Absofuckinglutely.

[Flashheart]

Sheridan sounds like the kind of manager that a young keeper low on confidence should not be playing for.

I'm still not giving up on Kovar yet. He's not been helped by those in front of him but I do think he should at least be pulled out for a while.

Needs to sort his scarf game out, above the head!

He’s covering the RW initials on his borrowed top.

It needs Bamboo to put some words on the scarf😁
