Job of the coach is to make players better under William's so ma y players stifle under Sheehan they understand their role in the team, when Ronald first came here he was bossing our players about telling them where they should be and where he wants them even the vastly experienced Naughton. A totally different player under William's stewardship, looking forward to when he is back to his best a d Key and him understand how each of the together can improve the team when they both learn what is needed n the Championship for their roles. Ronald since he has been here seems to always to be rushing things, crosses, shots and his ball control even when trying to take players on just needs to take a bit more time but if he doesn't know what his own players are going to do then he will continue to make rushed decisions.

Went to see Mike and the Mechanics at the Swansea Arena enjoyed more than expected, Joe Bonamassa show in Cardiff last Wednesday was better than expected and then down to the Patti for excellent Zeppelin tribute. |

Was also there and surprised how small the crowd was especially as they put on an excellent show. I am not an out and out Zep fan but I have a couple of albums on vinyl or cassette from long ago and more lately the Early Days and Latter Days CD complilation but they were excellent value for money.
Maybe I have become a grumpy old man but I really cannot stand how people just talk/shout through different sections of songs. |

He has got a tune out of some of our players who look far better the more game time they have got in a structured team who seem to know what is being asked of them.
We do need other players in to increase the strength of the squad for a full season given the effect injuries have on the match day squad, just knowing you have players on the bench who can step in to cover any match day injuries makes a difference, are there players on the bench who can change games I don't think we have enough options up front at the moment but in the off season will need to sort that out. |

Can be heard quite often played at The Manfreds' gigs as one of that band is Tom McGuinness from the band McGuinness Flint. Always a pleasure to hear played live. |

Having the right players alongside him was crucial to our performance also not leaving him as the last defender at set pieces. Flynn Downes was most noteably used in the need to cover for him then having to play the two yard pass as Grimes came far too close. |

Grime's lack of pace was my main concern, it affected his decision making does he push on or drop back it just left a hole in the middle of the park and invited pressure, If you had the right players alongside him he could function well to a degree but as shown in the Wycombe cup game changedthe team and the midfield floundered as we did often when teams pressurised us, not solely down to him and team tactics/setup did not help him at times. |

I know it has been mentioned that his wages are out of our range but would you try and get O'Brien here full time.
He has been a breathe of fresh air. His movement off the ball is first rate, his sizing up of the situation before he has come into possession of the ball and to be able to adapt as the opposition tries to close him down means that our forward momentum has increased dramatically.
So do you take a chance on someone new being unsure how they would fit into rhe team or spend the money on someone you know can perform to a high standard at Championship level.
Wedell will already signed be but will possibly take time to adapt but sholud alongside O'Brien, Allen (given another year?), Franco a fixture and Fulton the more defensive alternative adding a bit of height to the team in the middle when needed, Add the returning Cotterill and Congreve given they have now had much valued game time under their belts.
Will need to sort out both attack and defensive issues in the closed season as well. Lots of work to be done. |

Martin not building on the foundation that Cooper built after having the additions of Piroe, Ntcham and Downes?
Would the same happen if someone other than Sheehan has the job? |

Bought Sky's second album Sky2 after hearing Toccata on the radio, a double album with lots of nice tracks.
Julian Lloyd Webbers Variations of Paganini's work used as the theme music on The Southbank Show, an album of enjoyable fusion of classical and Rock music. [Post edited 19 Apr 9:18]

Enjoyed a preformance of the Planet Suite a couple of years back at St David's Hall. I think part of the reason was Jupiter bringing memories of MMEB Joybringer single of the early 70s and their albums Solar Fire and Masque both using parts of of the Planet Suite.
Enjoyed Sky's take on some of the classic, have always liked a bit of classical tunes used by Rock bands. [Post edited 19 Apr 8:13]

Back four basic heading practice before the game.
Cabango attacks the ball Key and Darling drop in behind, ditto as Darling attacks the ball Cabango drops back along with Tymon, Naughton taking the little session. Get the basics right. |

Sheehan in place to manage players of a standard known by Modrić who he and the club wouldn't otherwise have access to? |

Sheehan has seen the managers before him struggle to adapt the team/Squad to get consistent results with a very similar squad as in place now, there have been injuries with the previous managers but they seemed unable to learn from their successes and their mistakes, Alan Sheehan after his first covering stint seemed to do a good job but didn't get the chance to prove himself and maybe needed more experience then anyway. This stint he has he has had time to turned things around, the team being competitive in every game.
We have struggled at times to break down teams who have a solid defence and struggled to get back into games against Burnley and Watford who scored early in the game often via our own mistakes.
Not sure I want to see clearances when under pressure of aimless balls into space although it allows us to regroup I would rather see even lone strikers being fed the ball or able to compete for the ball when cleared into space, as under Cooper the clearance towards the end of his last season seem a bit desperate and often meant pressure builds and something gives.
The only reason to not give Alan Sheehan the job now is to see if he can maintain a good run of games until the end of the season, there may be losses as games at the end of the season are hard to predict and team may be desperate for points at either end of the table and some teams may be in a position to try to blood new players and new tactics.
I would like a win early out of the four to secure Championship status enabling Sheehan time to look at youngsters in competitive games before the friendlies start next season, would that early win then allow a decision on his future to be made that much earlier? |
