Sheridan has quite rightly got alot of stick over this disastrous league season but Wright and Crossley have got off very lightly in my opinion. Sheridan obviously has his flaws, but so does Sir Alex Ferguson. I've heard it said that Alex Ferguson isnt a great coach for example but it's not a problem he has a coaching staff to do the things he isnt so good at, or doesnt have time to do. So what are Crossley and Wright doing to fill in the gaps in Sheridan's skills base? Difficult to say without being on the inside of course, but results suggest not much. One thing for sure if Sheridan does get the boot I dont want either of those 2 promoted to manager. They are part of a failing team, and none of the promotions from within I have seen (kev Randall, McMenemy, Rushbery, Rico) have been a success.


I think this needs to be asked because a few digs have been made at Chris Turner, what is he doing for his wage? Well he hasnt been here for that long but Crossley and Wright have been part of our failing top heavy management structure for a few years now. If Sheridan is lucky to be still in the job, so are they.


What does everyone else think?

Good post. Agree entirely. We can't afford to be so top heavy.

[BigBlue]

Fair points raised, surely they have some hand in training....something that looks like its lacking tactically and fitnesswise...

I don't think anyone takes those two seriously.

When Shezza finally goes, those two will be history

[martatcross]

get rid of them all They shoulder the blame as well. Sheridan is the focal point but the whole management team have been very poor

A tad harsh maybe. Let's not forget that crossley has helped in the development of one of the finest town goalkeepers to ever wear the number 1 jersey. I mean where would we be without tommy, probably still in league 2 after no promotion at all. He's had his flops too yes I'm not saying he is perfect but he has had one big success here

Hard to know what exactly they're responsible for, but if they do most of the coaching, especially the defence, I'm surprised JS hasn't got rid of them himself.
On the other hand, either one of them might be a genius who is being over-ruled by the gaffer. It wouldn't be the first organisation where that's happened.

But hang on - wasn't it Crossley who came up with Fleming to put Lee under pressure?

He achieved more than that he put the whole team under pressure and the season in jeopardy in the famous run without a win.

And I assume it was Crossley who scouted the Scandinavian clown as well!!!

Wow! Paid decent money to work on a 1-1 basis with an already decent professional footballer....(who has just shipped 11 goals in 3 games...).
Waste of space

[rc1979]

I would keep crossley as he is the only one to achieve anything individually with any of the players.(ignore Fleming)
As for the clowne and his side kick who obviously have no respect from the players and developed none other than ruin morale, confidence etc eg talbot, I wud dump them in middle of town on Saturday night wearin nothin but a stag shirt and let them suffer

Jesus, I was just making the point that he hasn't been a complete failure here. I admit his reserve keepers have been woefully inadequate but no one can deny that he has helped tommy improve into a good standard goalkeeper.

absolutely correct,stealing a wage,book signing parasite.

[Spireite-Karl]

Sheridan brought these guys in so why shouldn't they be good?

Oh, wait a minute.. Sheridan also brought in god knows how many players and he's still not got a single good one (so perhaps there lies the answer).

The captain is the last to leave a sinking ship.Unless it's a certain cruise liner!

Tommy has always been a good keeper though (started out at Man U and they don't deal with rubbish).
