cheltenham_villa Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 A very disappointing day, I love Dean and would happily let him take us down but the players need to be fighting and they just arent. I didnt mind losing when we were trying to win games, if the goal is 20 percent possession and nick one of the break, we may as well have kept Bruce.

Using McGinn as an impact sub to build his fitness and confidence. Motivating the players to press as a unit. Surely these are all options? Sorry, I get there are things he could try, I meant more i don't see any options that will make a big difference. Jota looks another signing not up to Premier league standard. I don't know which youth players we have who could perform in a relegation battle. I think that's asking a lot. There are things he could do, I know I keep repeating myself but I'm not saying he is doing a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is never any alternative plan. He experiments with formations messes with formations and players positions . Its really abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Platt Posted June 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2020 Not sure if it's been mentioned so forgive me. What I want to see is a formation change during a game. We have 5 subs now but every change is like for like. If its not working change it! What happened to the Deano that changed tactics mid game for Brentford? I want him to succeed I really do and last year was great but he seems to have gone into his shell with the enormity that is The Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I'm not sure I am that optimistic. Ultimately I think we will probably go down. I just don't think Smith deserves all the blame and I'm not convinced a different manager would have done better. I think the summer business killed us as a club the minute the window shut and its a huge uphill fight ever since. Sadly I think we will lose it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Doesn't matter who signed the players, managers at most clubs don't sign the players, they're still expected to get results otherwise they get the sack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 No manager is getting every player they ask for. An important part of the job is getting the best out of what you got. I don't think Dean is doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dean delivered that, I'd have been happy. I would have chosen entertaining football and relegation under over backs to the wall but staying up.

Its quite obvious we aren't a club where the manager has complete control over the signings. If it helps you to get your anger out by believing Smith signed everyone then carry on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
