Josh Sheehan 22:19 - Nov 15 with 5912 views | adamswan | Sorry if this has already been discussed. Josh appears to be playing really well for Newport, another brace tonight; Can't help but feel an injection of young, and importantly local enthusiasm might be just what we need. I'm sure there'll be those saying Newport is no measure against premier league, but, can we honestly say he doesn't deserve a chance based on some recent form of the first team.

Josh Sheehan on 22:25 - Nov 15 with 4863 views | Kilkennyjack | Best local prospect since Ben. Better than Grimes who is same age and cost us £1.7m. Next season in the Championship, then why not ? Unfortunately our 8 Scottish players are taking up shirts in front of any local lads. There i said it. What the feck is going on ? | ![](/images/avatars/9736.gif) |

Josh Sheehan on 22:26 - Nov 15 with 4852 views | max936 | I was told just after Grimes came here that Sheehan was a far better player, yet he lost his place in the u21's to Grimes, Grimes continues to do feckall, so what I was told is proving to be true, get him back he couldn't do any worse than what's in the first team currently get Emnes back to at least he tried to make things happen when he was on the field, even though he's limited, things are that desperate we've got to try somin, because there'll be very little coming in, in January or any quality, look at our manager and new coach for examples a and b. | ![](/images/avatars/9760.gif) |

I'm not suggesting he starts every game, I'm suggesting he gets a chance. I don't know where you think this quality is going to come from, i'm really sorry to sound pessimistic, but if we are in this position in January, how many truly established quality players are going to take the risk? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Things are getting that desperate I'm willing to consider/try anything, tbh. Our first team midfield is a shambles, when you've got Charlie Adams controlling the game from midfield one week and 6 days later Carrick doing the same and he was playing centre fecking half supposedly, but we were that fuking pathetic he played the best part of the game in midfield. | ![](/images/avatars/9760.gif) |

Josh Sheehan on 13:41 - Nov 16 with 4191 views | ymaohyd | A few decent youngsters had their careers ruined during our second season in the old first division when they were played due to our financial plight, I wouldn't want to go down that road again. The structure of the club in terms of the 1st team is completely fu cked. I'll hold my hands up and admit I was wrong... possibly about Laudrup being sacked (thought it was right at the time), Monk being given the job (at the time it worked, the players played for him, whether it was his fault or Huw Jenkins, however recruitment, style, went out of the window, even though league position looked good) possibly Guidolin going, certainly Bradley being given the job. When Laudrup was sacked HJ came out with a very apt statement along the lines of 'we need to rediscover our identity', well that is very true now. Everything about the club at the moment is wrong, the ownership, manager, recruitment you name it. We have gone from a model club to the basket case we have been for most of our history. At the very least I would get rid of Bradley and put Curtis in charge until the end of the season. There would be no pressure on him as we are going down. Perhaps leave it until January when we will be cast adrift Derby style, as in my opinion that is where we are headed. I can't the see owners having the where with all to bring in an Allardyce, so at least have a blank canvas for next season with Curt. My favourite moment of the past 18 months was the win against Norwich and the crowd chanting 'He's one of our own', re Curtis. | ![](/images/avatars/9471.gif) |

We were playing some pretty poor stuff before Laudrup was sacked. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater didnt help. By that I mean the abrupt departure of the Spanish players at the end of that season. Curtis isnt the answer. Id bring in a youngish manager who likes a positive passing game and let him loose with the 'blank canvas'. Shame is, I cant name a candidate at the moment. All this talk of Bielsa and other top managers seems rather distant now. Perhaps it was always a bit foolish? | ![](/images/avatars/9081.gif) |

I'm not saying Curtis is the answer long term. Why let a young manager oversee relegation? If and when we are relegated we can go down the route of getting in a hardened Championship manager or a young 'left field' option. Many suggested before Graham Potter manager of Ostersunds in Sweden. He has done remarkable job with a small club. | ![](/images/avatars/9471.gif) |

I think despite any fan pressure etc,etc I really think the Yanks will stick with Bradley whatever happens, they'll also bring more American personel in as well players, admin etc. that's my feelings at the moment. | ![](/images/avatars/9760.gif) |

They may stick with him now, possibly until the end of the season and beyond. If the status quo remains, I will be amazed if we are not down mathematically by March. At that point a whole new set of criteria comes into play when it comes to making decisions. At the moment the only person I think who could make a difference, who is presently employed at the club is Curt. The players will play for him, that could make a huge difference. Bob may be running a more disciplined set up behind the scenes however it is clear so far that the players aren't responding to him and tactically he doesn't know his best formation, team etc etc. | ![](/images/avatars/9471.gif) |
