Any side we have with Westbrook in it is far from our strongest. This , we need Sinclair back in the middle running around like a Duracell bunny!

Can't help but think there is a nice cosy trinity of MS,TW and PT and we will have to put up with them until all Waels money is spent ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

Any side we have with Westbrook in it is far from our strongest. He was an important part of a very successful side in this league last season. I don’t think he’s a bad player. I do think he is one of a number of players who are playing well below par. Is it poor tactics? Is it that the players aren’t bothered about this football club? Is it just bad form? they know they are passing through. They have bo interest in this club apart from kilgour

We lost today as soon as Harries and Westbrooke went onto the team sheet

Westbrook must be the only footballer that comes off a pitch cleaner then when he started He did a fantastic job in ensuring he stuck to the government social distancing rules though.

Westbrooke is sh**e. Total and utter sh**e. Need rid of asap.
Hanlan works hard and is a good player but isn't the guy to get 20+ a season.
Defensively we are dreadful.
Missing Anssi.
Tisdale talks a good game and I got reeled in but he has 3 games to save his job IMO.
Going down.

We need a new Lee Mansell to fist pump around in midfield, oh and a decent striker

He’s not evolved at all in his time out of the game so he’s probably not going to change now and do radical things like play on the front foot with offensive minded formations, 4 at the back etc. I don’t think the board will sack him either, they didn’t seem to research him very much so they probably still think they’ve got the Paul Tisdale that plays sexy football with youth players and he’ll get us promoted next season. It’s depressing

second goal came from lack of closing down from Westbrook then withdrew from the player that won the ball has he advanced, ok he chased back but with absolutely no conviction to do something about the situation, then the defence came into play, were on the edge! But that's no real surprise as he does it ever match, as I've said before how do you get to this level w/o being able to tackle, Lines and Sercs weren't the best tacklers but Westbrook takes to a whole new level. Why's McCormick, one of our best players recently now fallen out of favour just because he's a loanee I suppose, I'm starting to detest Tisdale more than Garner, as at least he had the excuse he was inexperienced.

Totally agree topper. Why is "our" best player on the bench? START MCCORMICK!!!!

I don't get why we're prepared to pay £'s for players but never pay a fee for a manager like Flynn or Duff, so always get an out of work manager nobody else wanted.

So painful when you consider the club now has 8 full backs/wing backs and nothing to add to the forward line when you need a spark!
Not sure if I’m missing something but couldn’t we have Phillips/Warwick in the squad? Sometimes a young talent is before your nose?
Not sure why Tis signed a right back to play wing back when we have Rodman/Hare already?
Back to 4-2-3-1 from now. Stop fannying around.
Day
Williams Kilgour Baldwin Leahy
Grant Ogogo
Nicholson McCormick Oz
Hanlan
Once Daly is back, put Hanlan in the 3 behind him/rotate with ozzy.
We are sleep walking to League 2 unless we find some fight and consistency in selection. Come on Tis, stop all this nonsense with 3 centre backs, none of them are good enough to play that way!

I’ve seen it said that he was interviewed when Garner was and they circled back round after giving Garner the boot. Either way iirc Starnes said they would go through a full application process the weekend they sacked Garner yet Tisdale was hired by the Tuesday. Let’s be fair Tisdale has hardly turned out to be an inspiring appointment has he? Two poor appointments on the bounce and it looks from the outside like we didn’t learn from the Garner debacle. And Clough or Duff would have been my choice- probably weren’t even on our radar though.

I don’t think signing a striker is gonna keep us up when we can’t defend

What decent striker will want to play for Rovers? Can't see the club paying £100,000 plus for such a player. Come to think of it, finding a replacement manager would be a nightmare. The club has not progressed since promotion from Division2.

The club has not progressed since promotion from Division2. I doubt GC would turn us down? Although would messers Maher, Hargreaves and Mansell really be any worse than Tisdale? I don't understand why, when we're crying out for a defensive coach, Tisdale was allowed to bring in his mate to organise team travel etc, couldn't one of the present coaches do that s somebody must have been doing it under DC/GC/BG in the past.

Unfortunately, this Rovers team is mediocre at best and Westbrook is a virtual passenger. Little point playing him.

The club has not progressed since promotion from Division2. We’ve been in this position before and attracted decent strikers. Agogo, Lambert, Hoskins and JCH were all signed when we were pretty poor outfits. I’m not sure Tisdale can hide behind that excuse. Other teams are signing players.
