I dont have one .....but that diesnt mean I cant point out issues with Sheehan....I m highlighting what I see as issues...just as laat season you highlighted issues in our centrebacks ....one of whom is still here and last week made two great blocks to keep us in the game.
Its all about opinions ...you dont rate Cullen or Fulton yet Sheehan does....
I really hope Sheehan succeeds but from what I keep seeing Im not sure he will...I dont have an alternative .....who did all thoae who wanted Williams out offer ?
I havent stated Sheehan out Im just saying i dint think he gas it tontaje us forward.
Under him we may well finish mid table.
But given the additions to our squad since January is that where we should be?
Will our owners be happy with that?
Todays starting line up was crazy.....or dont you agree? Its not the first time this season this has happened followed by bad timing and wrong substitutions....more so than " inspired" substitutions like against Forest or Blackburn on Tuesday.

A very long winded way of saying you don't have a plan then.

From where I'm standing, it seems you and a few others just want to moan at Sheehan because you think we have a divine right to be in the top 6 after a handful of games, just because we spent a bit of money for a change last summer and Snoop now supports us.

we all can have opinions ....im trying to qualify mine with data not emotion

You aren't though. All your posts are littered with emotion.

Cullen is never my first choice. But when a player irrelevant if we like him or not comes on and scores in his last match, and adds something to the team at least deserves some reward. In Sheehan thinking. If you watch Galbraith, the one thing he is struggling with his being able to play at a level of fitness in the championship, Tuesday and Saturday in 1 week. He is the best player we have and I rate him highly, but he has come up from a league below and is he not at a level where he can play at a high level in short periods. That's why we have players like Tymon, Cabango, Etc. Franco struggled with this, Widell will and many others. Hence Depth. Yalcouye is 19 mate. Its rare to have players, play at this level all the time unless you are someone who is next level.

If your good enough your old enough
Why not start with Yalcoue then bring on Cullen?
Galbraith started at Man Utd acadamy....fitness is not an issue between the leagues its speed of thought and time on the ball.....he has those abilities fitness should be a given
Look I think Sheehan is a great guy he has no ego it is never about him in interviews but fir me he has and is still making many mistakes .
Id love him to prove me wrong but personally Im not convinced and thats my opinion.
But donr be surprised if he is not here in January as I doubt our owners will be as patient if things dont improve

Really?
What about the data.....
Wrong starting line up v a big physical Watford? Needed subs at halftome yet he waited till almost rhe hour to bring on Stamenic and Vip for Yalcoue and Cullen who were being physically outmuscled whrn the subs came o we looked a different side
The subs and tactics in the Hull game?
im not driven by rhe results but the managers managment.
We alm have our opinions....

We could go back and forth all night mate. But Galbraith, anyone who has watched him in every match can see he is hell of a talent but his levels dip (slightly) due to fatigue. And we don't even have luxury of data. As I said, who knows if Sheehan will stay or go. If he is a safe pair of hands so be it for this season. But I can't see him going anytime soon. Unless we suddenly turn into relegation team which based on things seems unlikely .

None of that is data.

I'm not saying you don't have a few valid points there, but it's still not data.

Depends on our owners view.....they have invested in the squad i doubt they have done so to.satnd still

ok 12 points this time last season Williams had a 33 % win rate 3 wins 3 draws 3 losses
This season with an improved squad....or do people disagree?.....12 points 3 wins 3 draws 3 losses 33% win rate......is Sheehan better?

I don’t quite understand what the problem is with giving your negative opinion on an internet forum as long as it isn’t libellous and you can give a reason for it which I think most people do.

Are we not allowed to show concern at all? If someone has legitimate concerns about the team this season and can back it up, what’s wrong with saying that? I don’t get the divine right to be top six thing either, I haven’t seen anyone on here saying that.

I'd imagine the owners view is something like this:

"Thank God we've now got a coach who actually plays players in their correct positions, instead of one who asks both full backs to drift into midfield at the same time, then watches and does nothing while the other team rogers us senseless in the gaping holes down our flanks, and smashes 4 or 5 past us."
