Has Sheehan Got What It Takes?

[Swans Jack]

I posted a thread in the week on how we shouldn't lose our heads if we loss against Burnley and inevitably Leeds.

Though I still beleive we will start to pick up results after Leeds, is Sheehan the man to go forward?

Maybe today we were too tired and that was 1 game too much? But I don't think Sheehan has helped his course with getting the job now.

We was sloppy and have been for a few games. Blame us being tired? Or quality of players? Or coaching? For me there is no excuse to be sloppy.

I applaud Sheehan for being more positive in style and is much more better than Williams. But does he have what it takes to take this team to another level? We can't get rid of the whole team so someone has to work with tools they have.

Based on the last three performance the answer to this question is fairly obvious.

No, of course not.

Performance that's the thing for me. Results is another. I am happy to see more positivity but performance in passing is not improving which might tell you we might need something different?

 

[Cooperman]

Absolutely not.

There was the ‘trading up’ thread of a few weeks ago where I think some were getting over excited about him. The positivity from there will have cooled off.

Performance should always be the benchmark.

Under Williams we didn't put in a full 90 minute performance, once.

I was excited, purely cos anything was better than Williams. I'm not saying Sheehan should be thrown under the bus. I applaud him for him stepping in and trying to make changes, but I think last 3 games as Smurth points out tells us what we need to know. Long term Sheehan maybe isn't the answer.

He's a rookie manager trying to rinse out enough points to keep us out of trouble, with a wafer thin poor quality championship squad. In fairness this mess we find ourselves in is non of his making

I’m not criticising him. He’s just a million miles from what we need right now.

No one is throwing him under the bus.

The bloke has been asked to take the reigns while a new manager is appointed, let's not forget he's employed by the club and isn't doing this for free.

Yes, we had a good result against Blackburn, the rest has been very much the same as it was under Williams.

I agree. Bad transfer windows and appointments etc. But there has been a habit of bad sloppy basic passing. All season. I get we talk about quality players, but you have to ask the question why is it still happening?

A wafer thin, poor quality, championship squad

Bringing Fulton and Cooper on is down to him when we have better options on the bench.

 

[magicdaps10]

Probably not but you have to take into consideration the average team and poor squad at his disposal.

We are lacking badly and no manager is going to turn this squad into one that can be consistent enough to be a solid mid table team.

Yeah that one did confuse me. Eom wasn't brilliant, and gave it away, but did he deserve to come off? Also Fulton, not sure if that is just a change due to tiredness on Franco? Maybe if it was forced on me, Allen for Franco. And Ginnelly on instead of Parker?
