I'm surprised nobody has put Sheehan in the same category as Holmes, he is a luxury that a struggling team cannot afford.

Since signing in October he has only been available for selection 50% of the time (10 apps in 20 games).

Whilst he is great on his day, the money should have been spent one someone that's able to play each game.

Curles utter BS about "insert any football related topic here"

i can't believe how many players still fall for it when speaking to him and signing for us because he has convinced them about our style of play etc - must take one training session for them to realise it was utter bollocks!

I’m not sure if that statement is true. To me it doesn’t look like we train at all

Should have just kept him on the original pay-as-you-play deal!

I guess the point is he is a level above what we have at the moment, so albeit on the 50% of the time he plays he massively improves us both with his own performance as well as organisation skills. We could replace him with another player but that player is only on the same level as Bolger, Horsfall, Racic which judging by our current recruitment is a strong possibility we don’t even get that improvement for half the games.

So we are confident there are no players out there with the ability between Sheehan and Bolger / Horsfall / Racic?

Seems strange to me, we had two on the books last season.

That’s all true but exactly the same argument applied to Macca and he released him .
Fine to keep Sheehan but we need another centre half .
I suppose KC can’t hold his hands up to all 3 summer centre half signings being useless with Racic already gone . Even his back up, Martin has been shown the door .
Even his screening player , Missilou has failed and he has had to get Morris in .
To be honest , the recruitment has failed on an epic level .

If our beloved chairman had one once of interest he would have scrutinised KC a bit more, it’s groundhog season once again, p1ss poor summer recruiting, buying better players in Jan (all on loan) and ending up about 4 or five points short.

I see that Harry is not getting much game time at Motherwell, been on the bench for all three games and introduced between 70-80 minutes each game.
They won 2-1 against Dundee Utd with goals from Devante Cole (who we were once rumoured to be interested in) and Chris Long. Pity we could not have done a swap deal and got Long back as he looked to have a goal in him despite Jimmy sometimes playing him out of position on the wing.

Just as I had foreseen, Smith will be be a bench dweller and come back to us with his head so far up his ar5e we will struggle to shift him.
Cole and Long up front would be a tasty partnership in L1.

+1

I'm still baffled we turned down a permanent offer and went with a loan.

He is, so perhaps he's the cheap option to take the reigns, when KC eventually goes!

This realistically is going to be the outcome. And I’m fine with it.

If you don't mind me saying Raggie you really seem to have it in for our beloved Keith Grin - you must have a reason ?

It's a forum, all opinions welcome for all supporters, from happy clappers to realists who are sick of the bizzare tactical decisions & utter dross which has been regularly served up under KC.

Find it extremely tiresome, the way you constantly dig people out or continually make snide comments, if it's not an opinion you agree with.

A snide comment of your own there, if you don't mind me saying?

From my own point of view, I'm not impressed by the football we are playing but I want KC to succeed because he's the current Cobblers manager.
This means I'm not a hard core Curle Out(er) or a devout Happy Clapper.
The supposedly superbly run Swindon Town are "on the brink" whilst "rotten to core" NTFC are said to be financially secure. At present I will be happy if we survive in League 1 by any means, do I hope for better in the future? Yes, of course!

I like to think I am a "realist".
