Problem for SG is if he tries some different things then he will lose his job if it doesn't work, or at least thats his fear, but if we want to progress as a club he has to try some different things even if they don't work!!! From DCs perspective he has to either tell SG he is completely safe so that he will get outside his comfort zone with regards to tactics and formations or he has to fire him now!!!
Of course the alternative is that no matter what he will stick to what he knows, and to be honest I think this is the case with him!! He isn't a dinosaur, but he is stuck in the old way of doing things and other more progressive managers will run rings around him with worse players and scrape a draw against us. The better teams beat us, the crap ones everyone can beat, its the bunch in the middle that determine your season, and we have dropped points at home in particular to most of these teams!!
