Based on the (small) handful of times I've seem him recently he seems more confident and aggressive that before - plus he knows his strengths a bit better so tends to take up better positions.

In any case it will be interesting to see how he gets on in Poland. I would suggest he will enjoy it...

As an aside, I'm liking the shirt.

I don't know a huge deal about Jagiellonia Białystok, but they are presently second in the Polish league, which is ranked higher than the Cypriot, Scottish, Israeli and Swedish leagues, so I'd imagine they're of a decent enough standard. The club finished 11th last season and 3rd the year before.

Anyway, I hope the move works out well for Sheridan. It's an interesting one. He'll be the first Irish player to play in Poland; a real trailblazer. I hope someone from the FAI will be tracking his form closely.

Not to jump two steps ahead, but this could be a precursor to a move to say the Bundesliga. I imagine plenty of German teams look to Poland to snap up players -- this is a big step up in terms of exposure.

Good point. Never thought of that

Still only 28 (older in my mind for some reason) so well worth keeping tabs on and, dare I say it, taking another look soon.

**Charlie Darwin** · 05/03/2017, 12:18 AM

He's 6'5 according to wikipedia. I knew he was tall but jesus, call him up Trap!

Straight into the starting XI for his debut today: https://twitter.com/Jagiellonia1920/...77384806137856

He got off to a winning start anyway, with Jagiellonia recovering from going behind early on to win 4-1. He came off in the 75th minute but had a 'solid' debut according to this report. He seemed to be involved in at least one of the goals.

Jagiellonia moved to within a point of Lechia Gdansk at the top of the table, who lost 1-0 to Lech Poznan yesterday. Poznan are only one point further back in third.

Goal and assist for Sheridan against Korona.

2-1 lead at half time.

**DeLorean** · 11/03/2017, 7:27 PM

It's down as an own goal on the LiveScore app. They'll go top if they hold on as Lechia Gdansk lost earlier.

Close range finish in off the keeper. Could be an OG alright

**DeLorean** · 11/03/2017, 7:51 PM

That's definitely an o.g. I'm afraid. It's coming back out off the post when it hits the keeper.

**samhaydenjr** · 11/03/2017, 7:54 PM

Should be like the NHL - no OGs - would have been credited to Sheridan

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 11/03/2017, 9:44 PM

Damn.

Was going to use this a reason to implore MON to call up Sheridan.

Scored a penalty today late on to win
Jagiellonii Białystok now top of the Polish league, one point clear of Legia Warsaw in second

Video here of the atmosphere inside the stadium today:

It doesn't show any of the action on the pitch (presumably for rights reasons), but you do get to catch a glimpse of Sheridan commencing his run-up for the penalty and the net subsequently rippling as the crowd behind the goal burst into celebrations.
