How did Dean Holden do?

Has anyone (probably Callum) got the league table from when Holden took over, compared to the final table?
Alternatively, the table since Holden took over?
I wondered if we made up any ground on the top 6 or if we at least kept the same distance ie had play off level results?

  • Dean who  ?
  • Likeable chap definitely improved teams chances of winning. Would give him 7/10.
  • Did ok 
  • If you take his points per game over the course of the season and apply it across the entire season we would have finished.....9th or 10th. 
    1.52 * 46 = 69.92. That puts us firmly in a group of 8th-10th with Portsmouth and Wycombe rather than 7-8 points behind them.
  • Good honest post match interview from him

    So we finished 8 positions higher than where we were when he came in. 

    If he can do that again we’ll be promoted automatically!

  • I think Holden did very well, probably as well as he could have. 
    There was a definite risk of relegation when he was appointed and he swiftly got us up the table.

    I think the very best that squad could have achieved was 8th/9th/10th, but Holden took over from a starting point of 18th.

    A big thank-you and well done to Dean Holden and IF he's given a squad capable of promotion I feel he can achieve it.
     
    That's the point his ppg return don't take into account the form leading up to his appointment.  We were abject and in real danger of a relegation battle.

    69.92 puts us either ahead of Wycombe or exactly in the same place depending on goal difference. 

    Yes we would have been 7 points ahead of where we are now, but still well off play-offs which is what was asked initially.

    I honestly don’t think Pep could get this squad into the playoffs.
    I agree. Wholesale changes needed. 

    Don't want anyone thinking 'oh we would've got playoffs if Holden is given a full season with this squad' because it's widely inaccurate. 

    He's done a good job though. 
  • He's done okay, and I'm happy for him to have a crack at the summer window. I particularly appreciate his no dickhead policy, hopefully, he can continue to reshape the club culture. One thing I think we definitely need this summer is a proper captain.

  • Didn't have much to work with in fairness . Likeable and decent bloke . 7/10 
  • Did good considering and now has his feet under the table, which offers clarity going forward for both existing and potential new players, especially as it sounds as though all interested parties and TS are thinking alike regarding next season, if you believe the story Storrie told us that is. I'm satisfied with him and we desperately need managerial stability.
  • I'm all in favour of Holden, think we realistically will need better in the long run, but he's had a bag of shit players and injuries that no manager would want.

    He couldn't. That's why he only picks the top jobs. Eddie Howe on the other hand?
  • When he arrived we were in genuine trouble with relegation a real possibility. He did enough with a generally poor bunch to get us to safety quite quickly. Has earned his shot at next season and assuming he gets his player choices in then he gets judged on that. Likeable and honest bloke regardless. Hope he gets us firing. 
  • Did well considering what he was left with, and the lack of budget in Jan. Like the bloke, seems an honest fella.
    If he gets supported over the summer think we will have a good chance next year.
    Needs a good assistant to help too.

    Like the guy a lot. Think he comes across as a Charlton type, down to earth and arrogant Its what we need imo. 

    I'm not totally convinced in coaching terms, but I think good coaches around him will help big time. He always seems like more of a manager to me.

    He deserves time to get it right.


  • Really like him.  Think he's done pretty well & I think it'll be an interesting summer.  I'm pretty sure he knows what's needed.  Whether he gets what he wants/needs is another matter.

    At the very least, I think he'll get the right kind of players & characters in & we'll be harder to beat

    Nail on head. We do need to get back to signing the right character’s. It’s so important and served us very well in the past. I think Holden knows how important it is too. To be honest I think it’s going to be harder shifting out some of the dross we have than getting in the right players.
