So Sheridan says he has "No regrets about Young" well I can tell you there are plenty who have.

Under Chris Hargreaves the lad is excelling to the extent he has been selected to the England C squad.

So the question is "Why couldn't he have got the best out of a super keen player as Young?"

Some may argue that he's excelling, but in a lower league and the two replacements we've signed are better than he is right now and so he wouldn't be guaranteed the game time to improve him as a player in order to produce the performances he is currently.

It is in the conference though to be fair. At the time, we were never likely to get very far with Luke and Connor as our centre midfield partnership. I know Connor left too in the end but JS weren't too know that.

Because he's an awful man manager. Gave up to easily.

Young > Norburn

Some may argue that, but they'd be fools. Two replacements? I only see Norburn as the closest to a replacement and he's certainly not as good as Young ever was for us or is now.

The thing that really puzzles me, is if Sheridan felt Young needed to move away from the safety net of Argyle (which I fully understand) while also.recognising his potential and talent as a player, why wasn't he kept on and loaned out for the season?

Without opening up the whole debate again.....he's not going to say anything different is he.

It was a mistake letting him go. Sheridan consistently said that Young was the best passer of the ball at the club....so who is now? Young was often poor at corners but often deadly on free kicks outside the box. Sheridan let him go because, ultimately, he thought he had a 'replacement' in Harvey (mmm?).

I don't think many managers in charge of clubs at our level would have let a player like Young, and local to boot, go. I have seen little evidence this season that we have improved the midfield....which to be honest has been variable and often weak throughout Sheridan's reign. maybe as a top midfielder himself his expectations are too high.

Young may well turn out to be better than Norburn but can we at least give Norburn a chance first?

Remember Hourihane started off quite bad and turned out immense for us.

Another poor managers decision which will bite us on the arse in future!

He can't admit he was wrong and put his hands up that's the problem.

Was he wrong though? he said Young would get better but he said he'd need to leave to do it as he was in his comfort zone here. If anything he's been proved right.

Still poor that he couldn't get the most out of him here though. Hardly great man-management.

And even when he was here, he was still good and improving. He just wasn't quite fully fulfilled. I think it would have come.
