I'm supposed not to be interested but the answer to Salts is bleedin' obvious but difficult now to effect. Just as Gary Caldwell painted himself and Jack Lester into a corner neither could exit from, so Sheridan has trapped himself or any other manager with the squad he's jerry built.
The only players we have who trouble the opposition are Evans, Boden and Fondop-Talom. Common thread? All three have good experience of non-league. Sheridan's approach is seen with Gerrard. No non-league experience, at the end of a career his ability barely merited and now physically out of shape. He is captain ……… compare and contrast.
Chesterfield need more non-league players. Why? Well EFL see the National at best as a fifth division, but mostly it is viewed as a different and lower level all together. To the non-league player coming up through the pyramid, our league is a premier league. It is where they want to be and if they can get there it is a jumping off point to anywhere at all. They are eager to be there and show what they can do. They go on to the pitch smiling, former EFL players look at their surroundings and go into mourning.
But at this stage of the season what do you with unwanted players even if you can bring in new ones from clubs like Buxton, Farsley and Southport …. and what do you with an EFL manager stranded in non-league who is mystified by the problems he has created? It certainly won't fit onto a postcard, maybe going down again is the answer.
Blyth would be a good loan for Amantchi, close to home and experience that should fit him for OUR first team. BUT every week Sheridan provides Chesterfield with a bench full of changes with no capacity to change a game. Amantchi could change a game, but he's getting standing ovations in the north east, whilst poor old Jamie Sharman is getting injured midway through the first half. AND how is our development squad supposed to fare when its best players are taken out on loan, players fire off each other, how can they fire off big Levi if he's having a nice time looking out at the North Sea and the Tall Ship being built in Blyth harbour?
