What did Saul expect from Samuel?

1 Samuel 28:15 (ESV)

15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” Saul answered, “I am in great distress, for the Philistines are warring against me, and God has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do.”

It seems clear from Saul’s question that he thought it would be possible for him to achieve some kind of a victory against the Philistines if only he was provided with the right guidance.1
