You can’t surely have a go at your own players and pin all the blame on them for not scoring when you’re choosing to field a formation with an isolated target man upfront who isn’t very good and choose to not really use a striker who hit 6 in 8 games at the previous club ?
No excuses. Dean is more to blame as he’s as negative as any manager we’ve had and he’s picking the team. Look, we’ve seen this all too often now he flatly refuses to change shape and brings a striker on for a striker even though we all know Elliot isn’t a target man, he never will be.
Dean needs to look in the mirror and take a brunt of the responsibility as he’s clearly not using what he’s got correctly. Throw into the mix he’s dumped Shrimpton and Pugh out who started to look really good and built up a good partnership for two players who aren’t home grown and won’t care about the club as much and more importantly aren’t even match fit.
There have been that many tactical faux pars from Dean that I daren’t sit down and list them all, I’d be still writing until the early hours. A lot of what he said was true about the slide we’ve been on but since he’s been here on the whole it’s gotten worse since he came in to replace Nelson and his negative attitude and woeful tactical decisions have been glaring obvious for quite a while.
