I'm by no means very happy, but this is a progress season and I think that deep down we all knew that really. You can't just walk this league, it wont happen. Pompey thought they would and look at where they've ended up.
We've recently had a very good run, but clearly aren't ready for League 1 yet. Our championship days are over and we wont get back there for years now. Unfortunately, this means we can't expect the same quality players, managing, performances or whatever. It's Division 4 for a reason.
I think we need to let Sheridan build a team. From the hints he's given so far I'd guess there's going to be a pretty big clear out again. Admittedly, that's sort of his problem, he brought a lot of these players in and many simply haven't performed.. Boco, Morgan and Blackman to name a few. Yet, I don't think we can put all blame on him. These players came with decent reports and who would have honestly turned down Boco or Morgan, both of whom have done it for other teams in this league, why shouldn't it work for us.
After all the years of pain, I don't think that one season of rebuilding is too much to have to put up with.
Give him til Christmas and see how its going.
