SteveJobsworth, this isn’t really a case of getting players to gel it’s Dean’s decision making and a lack of tactical nous which is worrying people.
Choosing not to play with any width until the last 15 minutes and taking players off like for like instead of actually trying to win the game isn’t down to players not gelling, that’s probably down to a lower league manager that doesn’t appear to be good enough.
Consistently chopping and changing personal isn’t helping either. Ollie Turner post match commented that the team looks a little lost in terms of getting the ball forward quickly and yet trying to keep the ball to hold on to possession. That’s his way of saying the team looks like they’re caught between two styles.
Dean took offence and clapped back but Ollie has a point, we do like mixed up. Under Nelson we had a clear way of playing and methodology, yet under Dean it all looks a bid muddled.
