Swansea City : It’s not just Sheehan at fault, it’s Darren O’Dea too
at 22:04 21 Sep 2025

was O'Dea here during Duffs and Williams time when we were conceding late goals?
Who was ? Sheehan?
Its amazing how it seems the blane is being put elswhere from the man in charge ...who was the assistant to Duff and Williams who also conceded late goals
It seems from the text O'Dea favours 4-3-3 yet in the Hull game when Cullen cane on we went 4-4-2...
At the end of the day Sheehan is head coach...he has fhe fimal say.
Lets hope between Sheehan ,Stearman ,O'Dea and O'Leary ( who is often up off the bench in Sheehans ear) it gets sorted....
But something is going on...Last Tuesday I was sat at a cafe when Stearman and O'Dea arrived and sat down to brunch. I was a table away bit could hear sime of their discussion...mostly relating to the Hull game....they were not happy with how things panned out.

As stated Stearman was one of those two coaches Sheehan brought in and he is still here.
From your statement it could be read that it was the assistants and not Sheehan who were responsible for the "success" after Williams' departure

Stearman came in last March but was announced as a permanent fixture when O'Dea announced.
If you read this below it mentions Stearman having first joined in March

one of them is Richard Shearman who Sheehan knew during his playing days.
I suspect O Dea is also a Sheehan choice pribably known to him through Republic of Ireland links.

thats two league games in a row now.
Ive never been convinced about Sheehan. Yes he bailed us out twice but Im not sure he is the right choice as our no1.
He is a likeable guy and no apparent ego unlike one of his predecessors and Im sure he was a players facourite which may not always be a good thing.
I know its still early days but this is the second league game in succession where his management has coar us in fact the same could be said of the Watford game. It was obvious in the Watford game we were getting out muscledans we needed Vip and Stamenic on at half time yet Sheehan delayed but we looked different gravy when the change was made. His subs and tactics of sitting back and holding on to the lead laat week and draw today blown up in his face.
We have had two wins against both Sheffield sides ....who are struggling and sides score goals agaimst them for fun..apart from us.
We have a much better sqaud than last season so we shoukd be looking for a better finish than last season.
11th last season 10th tonight.
Yes we did well Wednesday but we were chasimg rhe game so nothing to lose...unlike last Saturday when we sat defending the lead from 80 mims or today when we were settling for the draw.
Is Sheehan learning? I really hope he does.
This is the best squad we have had for a long while...many have written about it needing time to gel nut to gel it needs proper management.
I want him to succeed but I do wonder if Sheezy is capable....I hope he proves me wrong

So my question asking if Sheehan knows what he is doing is valid....given your view re Cullen.

Then again Cullen is an international or maybe Bellamy diesnt know what he is doing either

Be fair folks only turned on Williams after the West Brom crap.....which came around the crap New Yeads day loss at Portsmouth and the capitulation at Cardiff.

So many incliding Dr W are slagging off Cullen yet Sheehan plays him.

Its all about opinions....Ill be honest Ive not been convimced about Sheehan...as i wasnt with moat of our managers post Luadrup....

I hope he proves me wrong....but his decsion making foday raised more questions

Spot on ......does Sheehan know what he is doing?
Under Wiliams this thread would be anout 6 pages longer with the usual suspects slagging the manager off but Sheehan though having a few critical remarks is getting off lightly.

I thought the same WR...at first I thought he was coming on at the restart but it was strange how he was isolated from the other subs

I agree about Fulton,and we missed Stamenich but Cullen wasnt brought on to shore up midfield we changed shape when he came on to 4-4-2 from 4 -3-3
Also in that change Gailbraith dropped to right vack and Key moved in field.
Todays result lies in the hands of Sheehan he chose the matchday squad and made the changes....

He ignored a two footed tackle on Franco which was a blatent red card,far worse than that got Darling sent off versus Sheffield Utd last season,he also ignored a foul on Ronald had we had the deseeved free kick Hull would not have been in our half and had the opportunity to set up the equaliser.
That said Sheenan git his tactics wrong in sitting back rather than going for the third.
Lets hope he learns from his mistakes today

Just been talking with a Newport fan full of criticism of HJ .
The fans thought Jenkins woukd bring some priffesiinalism to the club given what happened with us but it seems thats not the case.
Many if their fans feel he is taking them down and is interfering too much with tactics and on field matters.
