Jimmy Dean is miles out his depth , tactically useless & players obviously don’t want to play for him

Why r we playing out from the back when we only have 10 men. We are literally giving them the ball back on the edge of our own area. At the end of the season i wouldnt carr if every player and the manager all left. Not one of them is worthy of keeping

Topics: 59commentators being as kind as possible but it sounds like the Scunny players just dont care , sulking mooching around no effort naming Cam Wilson as one of them… no chasing no reactions to even trying to get on the ball .. maybe they all need binning n start a fresh.
Scunny fans still singing but let down very very badly yet again.

Topics: 59In a season littered with embarrassing performances a new low was reached today.
Another game without a goal.
Another game without testing the opposition keeper.
Another game where none of the players gave a s***.
Another game where we set up not to lose.
(And when we went down to 10 set up to keep the score down.)
Like for like subs AGAIN.
A team that can’t string 3 passes together playing goal kicks short to a defender in the penalty area – unbelievable!!
Here’s a bit of Jimmy’s pre-match in case you missed it:-
“I expect a reaction. There’s no point trying to get away from it, it’s left us in a really difficult position. There’s no excuse not to go out there and give everything. This club and these games means too much to too many people. I’ve told them if we can’t do that then it’s completely unacceptable.”Well ‘mate’ they obviously listened and showed you what they think.

It seems impossibly odd to me that we have had a shedload of managers who have all been utterly incapable of managing.
All have been pilloried by fans.
All have been booted out.
The logical view must be that it is not their management ability but that they have all been victims of a toxic environment with a built-in confidence-destruction bot.
It is just not feasible that they have all been poo!
“Well, this one is but the next one probably won’t be.” – Sigh!
Dean should be made to work to his own level of expertise – which, incidentally, is NLN.
He must be given a chance. Just how much more upheaval can we take?4 users thanked author for this post.
Just as a matter of interest (maybe) and for comparison. Altrincham had a man sent off after 79 minutes, they were 2-0 down and drew 2-2.

Had to switch off midway through, was excruciating.
Pitch forks are out again it seems, another corpse to throw on the heap. Saying that, Dean’s got to start looking inwards after those last 4 games, the players have downed tools and it’s on him to figure out why exactly that is. Performances are as bad as I’ve ever seen. I want to give him next year but if we carry in like that for the remaining games then his position will be untenable.
Seems like we say the thing every 6 months but we need a total clear out. With the cutbacks being made and crowds still north of 3.3k, we should have one of/if not the most competitive budgets in the NLN.
We need to stop warehousing players and having 10-12 centre mids on the books. Get 2 players for every position and a couple spare. If we run into injuries/suspensions then utilise the loan market where needed. Using 30-35 players a year and expecting a cohesive team is just insanity.
Most importantly we need organisation and characters. The 2 opposition players that stand out for me this year were Woking’s centre back, if you saw the home game against Woking you’d know what I mean. Get a solid spine assembled and usually that’s when the higher quality lads start performing. We have 2 proven strikers at this level already in Carver and Elliot. It’s no coincidence they score whilst at other clubs and look useless here.
I want to hear and see players next year encouraging and bollocking others when necessary, can you imagine Bilson time wasting at York with Crosby, Dawson, Bishop, Hope, Mirfin etc in the team. Scunthorpe has for too long been a holding pen for apathy and an easy pay cheque. Are we paying that poor of a wage it’s subconsciously filtering down to the pitch?
We’ve used nearly 130 players in the last 5 years, half a dozen managers and keep getting the same results. Hilton’s got to change an entire culture at the club, no easy feat in just a few months.
Can’t wait for the season end but equally I can’t wait for a new start in August. Very few supporters in the country will have been on the journey we have been on; when the tide eventually turns it will make it all the more Sweeter.

I hate to say this, but I feel Dean is out of his depth. I have seen nothing that leads me to believe he can actually improve the performances, in fact I would go so far as to say he is actually making things worse.

Topics: 59Literally chasing shadows today. And not just because of The Heed’s ‘effin awful kit!
Not even half a yard off the pace, the full 6’ exclusion zone! Someone failed to tell them we we’ve been out of Covid precautions for over a year!
The closest any of our players got to the opposition was Pugh’s boot!
Absolutely embarrassing. Pugh and Shrimpton in the midfield engine room? Christ on a bike!
Players jogging back, wrong side of the guy they should be marking. No idea of when to press the opposition or close them down.
Doesn’t really matter whether they train in Ilkeston or Sainsbury’s car park they’ll learn nowt with the attitude shown today.
Very, very poor. Very, very depressing!

I’ve said the same thing, Dean isn’t good enough and you can tell the players just won’t play for him. Thing with Dean that he isn’t grasping is that he’s still playing his preferred formation but he hasn’t got the players to play it.
Any manager worth his salt would have looked at the players and devised a plan and a system in which to get the best out of what they’ve got, whereas Dean just keeps with this one formation when it’s clear it just doesn’t work.
Elliot for instance isn’t a lone front man, everybody can see it and yet instead of him recognizing that he keeps with what clearly doesn’t work. Any manager with any tactical nous would think to themselves “this doesn’t work, I’ll change to two upfront to get the best out of Elliot” and yet it hasn’t even crossed his mind.
Let’s have it right, things have gotten worse since Nelson was replaced. Towards the end of Nelson’s time as manager, despite taking 3 or 4 games to come up with a plan and settle everything down, we were playing some really nice football with a clear style and we had an identity.
Dean’s come in and it’s been the one formation which for the most part doesn’t suit the players that are here, as a result we lack cohesion, identity and the players clearly don’t like playing the way he wants them to play or simply won’t play for him. All I know is that it’s not working.
I don’t think getting a completely new squad will change it either because Dean will still want to play the same way next season. The shape of the team just doesn’t work.
Look, we’re all but down anyway so why he didn’t just go 4/4/2 today with Carver and Elliot upfront or in fact any system with 2 upfront. I have never in all my life know of a manager who’s so averse to playing two upfront.
I’ve never seen anything like it. Gateshead fans on twitter are commenting that we’ve destroyed Elliot and York Fans last week said we were nuts for not starting him so he must have something about him, your talking about somebody who scored 7 in 9 games at this very same level.
Thing that worries me is that the current manager is that clueless or just plain stubborn that he flatly refuses to play with two upfront in a bid to get the best out of him.
I know the players are largely to blame as well but would you lot trust Dean with a sizeable budget to bring players in for next season playing the same formation ?
Baring in mind he really wanted Bennett and brought Sembie Ferris to the club who’s hardly played any minutes ?
