If we'd won a few more home games, we wouldn't be having this debate. Overall, a fair season - 6 years of decline arrested, still something to play for with 4 games to go and our first 20 goal striker in many a year.

PS BRich - if you were old like me you'd have more brilliant seasons - I can add Dave Smiths team and Tony Waiters team. :lol:

In support of my comments read how angry Sheridan is today in the Herald, he certainly doesn't think it has been a brilliant season.

Indeed, he set the bar for play offs pre season and he's underachieved (or at least it appears likely he will) on his own ambitions. But, that doesn't mean it's been a bad season for the club or a bad season for Sheridan. It's by no means great though, there's been a few great moments in what's been a decent season.
He picks the squad - He sets the formation and tactics - And he continues to do it both during the match and then for the following match. He could change things but he doesn't . Therefore he can rant all he likes in the media . Four points from the last five games at this stage of the season is not good enough . If Reid and Allesandra / Lavery had not hit a real purple patch we could /would have been in the mire .
I applaud him for the way he turned the season around but I am afraid that he like the team has come up short .

I'm not reading 10 bleddy pages but let me guess, some are complaining the fella who kept us up last year despite almost certain relegation and now has us finishing top 10 with a brief flirt with a playoff position is in fact a load of poo and should be sacked?

Sheridan said the playoffs were the marker at the start of the season. Get your facts right before you rant, that why Sheridan is so angry at the players, read the Herald today and maybe think a bit more in future before you angrily type. This is a poor league and an opportunity has been missed and Sheridan knows that better than anyone.
Snag is some of these ''really negative vibe'' posters who want JS out forget what they wrote some months back.Bristol Rich":2detty5f said:

It's too early to judge sheridan. Give the man a chance. There was a post about sturrock and warnock being available (not by me) which the moderators deleted from this board. I am a fan of those managers, who are outstanding, but it would be foolish to consider sacking Sheridan before he has a proper chance to impose himself. He deserves a full season. The club needs stability after recent seasons of chaos
Well its not a full season is it ?? Has JS had a proper chance to impose himself ?? Think not !
Should Sheridan be sacked? No.
Should Sheridan be doing better with the players he has? Yes.
If we lose Alessandra, or (especially) Reid/Hourihane next season, we're toast. Unless Sheridan finds top drawer replacements for them, which looking at the amount of crap signings he's made compared to good ones, is not massively likely.
Sheridan deserves credit because in the 15 months he's been here, we've gone from 23rd to 9th. Which means he deserves to keep his job (plus sacking him with 2 years left on his contract would be another hit on our finances). But the style of football has got even worse. The only way I can see us finishing top 7 next season is if Sheridan manages to find 1 or 2 more "gems" like Reid, Alessandra and McCormick, and we manage to keep those three previously mentioned, plus Hourihane and Nelson, at the club and match fit.

Anything that doesn't start with a bloody two will go down well in my book this season!!!
We've all got our own opinions and that's how it should be.
However, the one opinion that really matters more than any other is that of Sheridan himself.
Unlike some easily pleased Janners, he has made it perfectly plain that avoiding relegation and even mid-table mediocrity are not what he was looking for.
He is as bitterly disappointed and frustrated as any of the critics on Pasoti - myself included - that we are throwing away a good chance of being in the mix to get out of this dreadful Division.
I think the green tints rejoicing because we are not fighting relegation to the Conference are completely overlooking this.
It's obvious by his reaction after the recent setbacks that Sheridan will regard not making the play-offs as failure

But you said the word brilliant, exactly the opposite of what Sheridan is saying by the way.
Also what made you think that avoiding relegation fight this season was a sucess?? Again the opposite of what the manager is saying.

Should Sheridan be sacked? I don't think so.
Should Sheridan be doing better with the players he has? Very much so.
