Sheridan has (allegedly) lost the dressing room.

I think it's the facts that are the problem, there has only been marginal improvement this season. Our league position is better due to the league being closer. There is no indication of significant improvement this season. As I keep saying the devil is in the detail. My comparison with John Ward was that he made huge improvements to Rovers last season but he gets sacked this year, my argument is there is little reason to believe things will be better next year.

Pedant alert: we're still 9th, not 10th.

Could you explain (hopefully with pie charts) how 10th is a marginal improvement on 21st?

The one huge improvement this season was at no time were we worried about relegation and after 5 years of looking down we were finally able to look up and after looking up we wanted more, fuelled by briefly reaching the top seven.

I believe the league has come closer together coupled with Argyle being slightly better, (as in 6 points better), but don't let the facts get in the way! :funny:

1: You believing something isn't a fact.
2: The season hasn't finished and there are still 6 points to play for, so we could be 12 points better off than last season. We'll see.

Not sure why the emphasis seems to be comparing last season totally with this season. The comparison should be between Sheridan's almost half season in charge last season and this season, forget what happened under Fletcher and where we were before that. The fact is that Sheridan's points per game over a full season is WORSE than it was for the 19 games he was in charge last season. With being able to assess the staff, get rid of some he didn't feel were up to it, to recruit others he felt would improve the team and have the benefit of a full pre season to get across his ideas and tactics, the opportunity to use the loan market and January window to further improve the team I would ask how the hell has there been any improvement, slight or otherwise to the team that finished last season, not the team that started it?

With pleasure Quizmike, I'll do it slowly as well as I'm not sure you're too bright :wave:

We are 6 points better off than last season in a very poor league where the manager has been allowed to make several signings and he has a larger than average squad for this league. Do you think that 6 extra points have been a massive improvement or do you need a pie chart? I'll explain it just one more time so read carefully and think slowly, Sheridan has made slight improvements but it's not the massive strides that you would have us believe!

Oh.

Someone who can't make a valid comment without resulting to insults about someone's intelligence. How clever of you.

Obviously you are more interested in trolling than football.
