The only way I can explain how I feel about what seems to be happening with Alan Sheehan, without trying to be over critical, is that it feels like someone's been given a beautiful Arabian pedigree racehorse, and they tell the trainers to just take him around the paddock, don't overwork him, whatever you do. I think he needs to let them take the shackles off, give them the freedom to attack, and express themselves. There's a better team in there than we're seeing.
 
I’m surprised there are people who are happy with the current output of the team to be honest. We hardly enter the opposition box in games. We don’t look a threatening side at all.

Some may call it entitlement but for me it’s genuine concern. We’re currently on course for 46 goals in 46 games. Hull scored 44 last year as the lowest scorers and stayed up by a whisker.

Of course I’d like to see improvement but there’s been nothing in any of the performances this season to suggest it’ll happen.

Don’t want to be negative but on current evidence, it isn’t looking good.
 
Are they though?

Cabango, Key, Tymon, Fulton and Cullen all date back to the Duff era (three played under Martin), all have played in sides that have mostly struggled, and they've all had several spells of poor personal form.

Then you have players like Eom, Vip and Ronald who have been hot and cold ever since coming here during the time Williams was here.

So you can reasonably say that Sheehan is not the problem with them. They have always been a bit iffy.

The new players have only been here a couple of months, it's too early to judge how good they are or not regardless of who the coach is.

Bottom line is, there's little evidence to support the statement you're making.
All those players you mention were here last season and played under Sheehan when is management got us that great end of season run yet this season he cant get a tune out of them.
The new players Burgess played in the PL last season albeit for a relegated Ipswich and is an international he replaced Darling who left us to join another Championship club who today sit 7 places below us and as yet has not achieved an international call up at any level,
Ethan Galbraith like many if our signings during the years 2005 to the PL started at a PL acadamy before starring in the lower leagues younger than O Brien and another international getting rave reviews for his country.....O Brien chased the cash and went to Wrexham....no.PL club came for him....we couldnt afford him but I believe we have a better deal with Ethan and I suspect we will lose him but make an obscene amounf of money for him.
Stamenic again anither international though his experience of EFL very limited he lookmed great in his first game but not shining so much since....is thia down to instruction?
Widdell same age as Stamenic yet being phased in slowly? Hasnt had that much of a chance to show waht he has
Innouusa looks good as does Yalcouye ( who came with rave reviews)
Sheehan has to take some responibility....

Love a meltdown in October me
But you've got to be concerned, Southampton missed 3 open goals, that's how jammy we got, should've been 7-0.. and we didn't create anything except two set pieces.. we're not relegation fodder, but perform like that throughout the season and Sheehan will be given his marching orders as we stare into the abyss

I was more concerned when Petty walked in through the back door for a quid tbh.

Mid table Championship is our bag now.

Happy Dayz kid 🫶

Unfortunately, there's where you're wrong

Owners and investors will not accept a mid table mediocrity season with no improvement on last season. It's been documented we have a better and deeper squad than last season and arguably a more open league this term.

And our only wins have come against the 3 teams currently occupying the 3 bottom places in the league and neither if those wins were games where we dominated

😬 Crikey, when do we play 4th bottom? I need to save the date 😆

So your predicting at least a play off spot this season then?
