Having read nearly every item I can find on the "Dogs" episode I keep trying to sift out what the problem is at the club. The same names keep coming up - Sheridan, Gregan, Hughes & Taylor. Whilst I don't think Taylor is the type to cause problems, it was said that he was involved in and incident with Ricketts before Ricketts was moved on and Hughes had him by the throat during the Huddersfield away match. It was said that Davies was moved on because the "senior" players had problems with him. We know there is a drink problem at the club and the main offenders would appear to be Sheridan, Gregan and Hughes.
What do we do? If it's Taylor (which I hope it isn't) he needs to be shipped out on loan and sold at the end of the season. If it is Sheridan he has to go now because it becomes obvious that he has lost the dressingroom. If it is Hughes & Gregan they have to have their contracts terminated (Hughes will walk at the end of the season anyway). Whichever it is we should see an immediate change in attitude on the pitch.
During games Hughes & Gregan react badly to Sheridan whenever they get any comments levelled at them. Every combination we have tried up front has included Hughes - perhaps it's time for Windass and Kappa/Alexandra.
If it is Sheridan then I think Joe Royle would be the man to see us though to the end of this season and the hand over to someone else.
Whoever the culprits are I think we can expect a press conference tomorrow, someone will leave and we can get our season back on track.
