Relying on loanees (especially ones as good as they were) can't work long-term. He had to sign a whole new team of permanent players to last 50-odd games rather than 21 without relying on loan quick fixes. Last season he could throw a band-aid onto the problems to see us through till May. This season he's had to properly fix them in a way that will last. That's the difference.

WRONG!!! I edited the title as I felt it gave very little indication as to what the thread was about. After a few people had responded I added a bit more information to the title based on the direction the discussion seemed to be taking, hope that's alright with everyone...

Lavery? Where would we have been without that short-term loan?
Worse off for sure I'd say. The difference he made was obvious and was key to one of the few good runs we had and so our position in the league.
Holloway didn't struggle with a clean slate. In fact he went out of his way to praise Pulis for giving him the clean slate he needed for us to progress. It's every manager's ideal situation, to mould their own team from scratch instead of being burdened with a load of players under contract that you don't want. Especially when you're a big fish in a little pond like we are. Sheridan had a fantastic opportunity this season. It's been wasted .....IMO
That's true enough regards Lavery but our form has had peaks and troughs all season. He was only here for one of the peaks and it was during a very favourable run of fixtures (Oxford on Boxing Day aside).PAFC+":2mj18igm said:
Holloway didn't struggle with a clean slate but he didn't get it to work to it's full potential in the first season either. He still had to build a whole new team with begin to click slowly over the 17 months he was in the job. Obviously Holloway had a much less favourable budget in relation to the league he was in so you'd naturally expect more snags but that's Holloway for you. I don't think it's quite stated enough just what a truly incredible job he did with us. The point remains that to build a new team to last a season or more (especially one that's as psychologically downbeaten and full of losers as our one was) has to be expected to take time. Yes we've got a good budget for this league but we were also starting with this budget from a bigger handicap. Play-offs this season would have been exceeding expectations, not reaching them. Just in my view obviously.
Just spotted this Sam. No I wouldn't agree Sam. I don't disagree with much that you post but just don't see any logic in what you suggest here, and like Greengenes would think the opposite. Just don't see how it's easier to get points fire fighting. 8 Premier league clubs have sacked their manager during the course of this season and only Palace find themselves in a better position than they were before the change of manager so no I don't think the evidence is there to support that theory. Having had half a season to assess the playing squad, move out some players, bring in his own, have a full pre season, with still room to use the loan market and make more signings during the season I think Sheridan was in a better position than when he was brought in last January. It is very disappointing therefore that our points per game ratio has gone down this season under Sheridan compared to last season.GreenSam":26c6cf1u said:
