[Devongone]

He knows how football works and he has some ideas on how you can set a team up. He didn't get us promoted by luck. Ford and Mattis were excellent players, but he fell out with Mattis who immediately got injured and was never the same. As the team was weakened in Div One Whitts couldn't get forward to have the same goal scoring impact and we'd let Davies and Smalley go. Tommy Lee being injured till almost Christmas set the tone. And the background was the same as this season - Sheridan sat on his limpet arse all summer and didn't recruit. He thought the promoted team would be good enough, but he'd allowed the goals to go and once there were three wheels on his wagon other bits started to fall off. He should have learnt from that, but he's proving he hasn't, because arrogance stopped him being top-notch as a player and it is keeping him several notches below the top in management too. He doesn't need to dress up, the inner man is perfect ……. and slightly delusional.

As a player he had vision. It should transfer to management. But he's spent years blurring it through the bottom of a glass.
