Safe money I'd say, no way they're not getting promoted out of this league and if they can hold onto the same player's, they'll be in with a great chance of a second promotion to the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, no one else was scoring any goals for us up front apart from him. His illness completely knocked everything out of him and he wasn’t the same when he came back. Swindon on the other hand have had two strikers banging them in all season, they’ve only been away for a couple of weeks and now I expect them to carry on where they left off.

They won whilst he was back at Bradford and still sit top of the table, now he's back with Yates and Hope there, the gap from 1st to 4th will widen considerably.

JohnG123 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Only signed until the end of this season............. odd if they have bought him would have thought he would have wanted at least an 18 month deal.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he wanted the option to move to a higher level in the summer if he carries on with the form he has shown for them so far this season.

I think Bradford were in a corner to be honest and Swindon have paid a token fee. His contract ran out at the end of the season and no one else could buy him and play him this year. He could well be on high wages and wasnt scoring so they wanted rid. And for Swindon the high wages is more of a gamble if they dont go up therefore a short term deal is prudent.

I didnt debate that fact, however the fact is the majo6of his signing ain't his. They are all players that shez brought to oldham. Take them out where would he be? And now matty palmer? These are ALL shez signings?.so the question has to be, where would they be? Shez has spent years gaining this knowledge of lower league football. Wellens has rode his wave.

In every way, shape or form, his legacy has been far more detrimental than anything you could ever pin on Sheridan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
