Hughes - no, e's going to prison.

if so, nice one. need that kind of dosh.

The lad from Bristol?

Yes, this season.

Actually, i only wanted to see why others are positive about him because i have serious doubts and don't see that much in him at all. We draw a lot of very tedious games and have failed to excite at home at all. This is a serious problem. It's been average to poor for a year. We've always been a selling club, but players simply don't want to stay. And we don't actually sell that many. They would rather go to Port Vale, Doncaster or (god forbid) Scotland! Oh, and we still don't win that often at home, or entertain.

I must have been a different game. I thought he was terrible - as bad as anyone on the pitch.

Fair enough but, in the interests of healthy debate, you could equally say: we don't win often we rarely excite we need someone who knows the game anyone can build a strong backroom he loves Sheff.Wed he has had a very high turnover of players, especially in the two summers, which makes it very difficult to build a team oh, and we don't win often, especially at home (2 games all season)

Getting back to the Sheridan debate. People can see the negatives, but what are the positives. He seems to have support on this board but, and I ask this without anything in mind, what are the good points about keeping him beyond the end of the season. I'm not talking about continuity, but what are HIS assets as a manager? List please...

I think he was that poor on Saturday that he needs to be shipped out for a while.

Same as usual, no one.

Managers FOR US might include Ritchie, but I doubt it somehow. i don't think Royle would return, but i wouldn't mind if he did. What about Philiskirk? Or (now I will get shouted at) that nice Paul Ince???

Sanchez, Big Sam et al....sorry, i was talking about Leeds not us. Should've made myself clear.

Big Sam, Billy Davies, Glen Hoddle OR, possibly, Laurie Sanchez!! Depends on wages and whether the likes of Sam would drop down that far. There is a long list.

No, hiring and firing never works. We had two managers in a 20+ year period, which was also the most successful period in the club's history. However, I just don't see it with Sheridan. What are his plus points? All I see at the moment is big gob. However long it took Royle (higher division, greater competition), it was rarely dull. I remember a League cup tie against Bolton. Low gate, lost 4-3, but what a game. I don't mind waiting for success, but i don't like being bored to death. I'll give him until the end of the season, but after 12 poor months i need to see some spark suggesting what the future might hold.

Now that was a good signing. A cracking right-back.

Both.

How many players can you think of who have made the step up from non-league to a higher level? There must loads, but my brain is on holiday. The one that stands out for me is Mark Ward. Yes, he turned out to be a bad 'un, but at the time he cost £10,000 from Northwich and is one of the best right sided players we've had. Wayne Andrews. Fitz Hall (i think). Can't remember - too many fried brain cells.

I agree on all counts. 1. Bring back Royle 2. Sheridan is not a smart guy (polite for he's thick). i would add that i don't especially want to start a 'Sheridan out campaign.' Not helpful. But i look at it like this. Royle, Dowie and even Richie were personalities, articulate and reasonably intelligent. I don't get this from Sheridan. He's like the Ronnie Moore school of charisma, though he does at least try to play football. 3. bring back pukka pies.

Carl, you didn't give the option of 'should Sheridan go?' Not surprising. Now, every time someone brings up this topic it seems that everyone else (at least on this site) jump down their throats. There are, however, serious reservations. The last twelve months have not been very good. Most of the football is dreadful. Many of the decisions are poor. Gregan's arrival caused splits in the dressing room. Many of the signings are sub-standard. He has failed to keep his best players and failed to attract suitable replacements. Why? It can't be ALL about money. One good spell last season and that's it. I've heard from a numer of people that heis nothing more than a glorified bully when taking training sessions. Some think he is a really good, romising young coach who shuld be given time. I don't see it. I see someone who has the personality of a flea. I think it's time we seriously questioned his future as a manager.

Wise words. I wouldn't disagree. I think it's too early to tell. Always difficult with young players - will they, won't they?? But the fact remains he is't ready for the first team.

A few votes for Smalley. Why? He was dreadful. I really hven't been impressed all season, but today...Ad i thought he was normally a striker. please...never again.

Crossley 7 did ok, no chance on goal Eardley 6 - very inconsistant (still only 19) Trotman 7 did ok. Stam 7 under rated - better than Gregan - make him captain. Hazel 7 right footed centre back plaaying left back. Couldn't ask more of him. Tried his best at all times. I like him. Macdonald 6 - fits and starts Alott 9 - can't see the criticism. Putting him the centre and he was clearly the only one who could hold and distribute the ball. Kalala 7 - solid, honest, hard working Taylor - 5 - infuriating Smalley 4 - total crap Davies 4 - equally crap We had nothing up front. Why hasn't the manager done anything since Ricketts left? Huddersfield - very average. This makes it very frustrating. I thought they were a very basic outfit - nothing special at all.

All looks great. Can't get my head around IT - bit of a dinosaur.

Love to. Can you explain the main design. The image?? Looks great.
