Sheridan knows how to organise a team, train, all of that stuff. He SHOULD be able to manage at our level. The trouble is last season he had it easy. He took over an under-achieving squad and got a proven goal scorer. The new manager bounce turned persistent draws into wins and he even had players like Fortune and Kiwomya on the bench who could come on a make a difference when the team was struggling. The skills he required were very much those he'd used his entire career.
He clearly thought that recovery meant he now knew what was required for a new season and did very little in the summer. He especially doesn't seem to have researched and scouted non-league talent or to have found out much about his opposition. The result is illustrated by the league table. Unfortunately Sheridan has proved himself the stubbornest of men and is determined to repeat the same thing over and over again until it comes up with a different result. He could at least find out about the football he's in and the players who mostly cost nothing and don't demand huge wage packets, but that isn't his mindset, so even if money became available to recruit he'd be likely to fritter it on some numbskull who once had the talent to play in the Championship, but has spent most of last season and this warming the bench at Cambridge United on an inflated wage.
For a start Chesterfield need Sheridan to do his job, but he's incapable of seeing what it is!
I wonder for Saturday what does Sheridan know about Torquay? Someone has to get close to Jamie Reid, Kalala will run the game if Chesterfield let him and needs man-marking and if Opi Edwards the loanee from Bristol City is playing he's another handful. Their keeper however is vulnerable to a mistake if pressurised, Fondop-Talom needs to get in on him and shake him up a bit …….
