There is no doubt Sheridan is a good firefighter at clubs in trouble. In recent seasons he has gone in at Argyle, Notts Co, Newport and Oldham last season) and rescued each of them from difficult league positions. It just seems that once he settles in he kind of loses momentum.
The manner he came in after Fletcher and made instantaneous common sense decisions was impressive.
He barely knew the squad and within a few weeks was picking the strongest team Argyle had (something Fletcher struggled with), had worked out the key areas Argyle were struggling in and had important new players on the way (Reuben, Banton, Cox, Bryan).
He wasn't the right manager for Argyle long term, and his man management is massively questionable, but his ability to inherit a mess and leave something that functions in a short space of time is quite impressive. He's one of the best crisis gaffers in the game.
