Some of the games under Sheehan last season definitely were boring. Think back , away games at Preston and Watford were dire, as were home games against Derby ,and when we rolled over against Burnley without laying a glove on them. To say everything has been good since he took over is well wide of the mark. He's done a good job points wise, but his style of football so far has been very hit and miss.
Agree re the Derby home game, I still think he approached that game too negatively, we would have won easier if we set up to play that day. With the Preston game it was his second game in charge in that spell and first away so I’d put that down to teething problems. I remember us being unlucky in that Watford game and we were outclassed by better players against Burnley.

We aren’t perfect under Sheehan, I don’t fully disagree but I’ve seen flashes that suggest we could be a good side under him. That unfortunately means I do still have doubts but it’s a lot easier to weather them in 7th than in 17th.

I’m always surprised that people are influenced by league position at this point.

1 more point we’d be in the play off positions, 1 less and we could be 13th or so.

It’s only after at least ten games that the table is worth looking at surely? Even then it’s a bit soon.

I usually agree with the 10+ game thing but I was just using it to illustrate that it’s easier to dispel doubts about the manager when we aren’t struggling down the bottom. I’d say the same for end of last season when we were doing well under him after he kept us up.
 
Fair play I admire your dedication to winding people up on a football forum, even if it is a little odd.

I notice you've changed your narrative. This team last season Sheehan was firmly head of the quorum.
That made me laugh 🤣🤣.. If we have to give him some credit he has dedication to his message 😂😂.. Im not sure if I should applaud or be scared 🤔🤔. Either way, in my area there is a local nut job who cycles around with a religious sign every day. Maybe it's him?

One criticism I do have is that he's stopped caring what username he logs in with these days.
