The difference is he’ll have leeway with Hilton but not much due to how he’s done this season, whereas if he came here with a clean slate and got all his own players in we could potentially have been in even more trouble as he would have been here for longer.
Point I also come back to is that he’s tactically absolutely clueless and he’s failed to get the best out of what he’s got now. The reason Elliot has been so bad is because he either plays him as a lone frontman or out wide and everybody knows he suits neither role but he’s hellbent on playing that awful formation he’d rather put square pegs in round holes.
It honestly does baffle me that he still keeps persisting with it. I just don’t get it at all. Even today he was a bit more braver and stuck two strikers on but even then we ended up with Bennett and Carver up there.
Appears to me that Dean knows one formation 4/2/3/1 and starts with it no matter what. Dean just doesn’t appear to have the required tactical nous to even play 2 up front, he has one way of playing and that’s really your lot.
Next season we need to put some serious building blocks in place in terms of stability and the thought of Dean having free reign to sign who he wants to fit that awful formation scares the hell out of me and I’m not entirely sure there’s a way back from that if he carries on flattering to deceive.
Hilton will stay with him but if it was me personally I’d give him the next 3 matches and call it a day. 17 games is enough with new players to improve but if anything we’ve gotten worse.
Other teams have done it this season and are turning their season around so there’s no excuse.
