But I thought he looked lost when he came on to be honest. But he did go into Sheron’s position and Sheron dropped into Conlon’s, which suggests he may replace him at some point. I thought he looked assured so you may be right when you say we see a different game sometimes . To be fair Stones struggled for first 20 on debut as did Sachdev, that's no criticism by the way. Conlon in his cameo against Hendon couldn't be judged coming in to the game cold, he looked a different man last night, Hammond had the awareness to spot the danger on Tuesday, looked fit and I'm presuming given his background can look after the football which is the most important aspect for me, Sheron is an unbelievable athlete he never stops but some of his work is chasing a ball he's invariably given away, I know that's harsh on the back of his 8/10 showing on Tuesday but them performances haven't always been there and that's why players have had to be brought in. There's real pressure now, competition for places and that's what makes you perform better if you're a good player, some will sink now but others are really stepping up, Hogan and Sheron are examples of that and that's not being patronising given their careers at an higher level that's just the benchmark and expectation Mellon and Brabin are instilling, passengers cannot be carried and thats why some players have disappeared out of sight.

You are right-it is a bit harsh. I bet you would struggle to find a less than 6/10 performance from Sheron over his career here. Players have been brought in to replace the likes of McGahey not Sheron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Sheron he gives 100% every game, he struggles on the half turn and does give the ball away a little too much. We can do better but as a squad player I'd take him.

He played in the 3-0 defeat at Fylde when no player rated more than 4/10. And in the opening day defeat at Southend - 3/10 at best.

Boyyou Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Sheron is a great athlete and competitor and we will need him on the run-in in this rough, tough division. Is he the midfield answer long term? Probably not. Another Conlon type is needed. But for now I am more than happy to see him in every matchday squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking the bubble will burst results wise Collective trauma. We’ve suffered 30 years of crushing disappointment so we protect ourselves by expecting anything good to go to shit anytime soon! We will get in the play offs this season. We will also drop points in games like this one tomorrow. But it won’t mean the bubble has burst, overall we’ll keep picking up points at a good rate and will finish quite high up the league. Then if we don’t make it up this season, we’ll challenge for the title next season. The club is in a different place now. Good people in charge, in it for the long haul. I’m well excited! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 7 hours ago, rudemedic said: Didn't he spend almost all that time playing CB or RB? Yeah. Sheron is like a Darren Fletcher type- is he the most dynamic or easy on the eye when compared to others- no. Is he an honest pro, who will give you a good performance the vast majority of time- yes. As we progress and the squad gets stronger I accept he might not play every week, but id always have him as first reserve and in the match day squad. He’s invaluable in his own way- hence why every manager picks him and he won players player last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF we've seen the best of it, I'd be happy with just a modicum of success, it's these young kids and twenty somethings who support the club in their numbers that I feel sorry for, all they have seen is shite, they deserve so much more. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
