I think the problem goes much deeper than the playing and coaching and sadly right to the very top. I think Weal is a great and kind person and I am sure he only wants what is best for Bristol Rovers. Unfortunately I don't think he has any Ideal how to run this football club. I thinks we are missing having directors and people in the club who grew up as supporters of the club. The club just doesn't feel like Bristol Rovers anymore. All of Weals money is not going to sort this mess out. It is going to take years to replace everything we had here that has been lost or dismantled since Weal took over. The last board of supporters we had were the worst board in the history of this football club.

The way forward is to dispense of the 4 central defenders we currently have and employ some that can do the job. They are all truly awful.

Come to think of it, when was our last successful external appointment? I wanted an internal appointment when GC left in order to maintain continuity, but the board went with BG, which I obviously wanted to work but sadly it was a car crash. I think the damage was too heavy and I think Tisdale is proving to be incapable of turning it around. Ian Holloway when he returned to the club as player-manager in 1996 was probably the last successful external appointment but even that was a bit internal given the fact he had played almost 300 games for Rovers at that point and was Gashead through and through. Possibly Gerry Francis in my humble opinion

Lol Kilgour gets caught wrong side of attackers far too often. He is a mistake waiting to happen

If Tisdale goes we have a chance, if he stays then next year we will be playing teams like FGR, I won't be there especially as they can do something about it now. Think you should take a look at the league 2 table, looks like we’re gonna be in the league below FGR

It will take a miracle to turn this around. I dont think it matters who is in charge imo. Its the players! Either they find the fight or they continue rolling over. They arent kids and shouldnt need somebody to motivate them like a army sgt. Grow up boys and grow a pair! It's not just about motivation though, players need a manager who has a clear idea of how he wants the team to play, and who his best players are. I'm not sure Tis has got to grips with this yet, and he seems to make snap decisions about players and stick to them, such as sidelining Tutonda without really giving him a sniff. Also JVS was in good form when Day came on loan - I'm sure it's done his confidence no good to be knocked back to the bench after a few good displays. Whatever his past errors, he should have been allowed to continue, with Day as a back-up if JVS lost form - confidence is an important part of a goalkeeper's tool kit. From memory, when coaching staff have taken charge for a couple of games, the players seem to know what is expected of them and have performed fairly well. On that evidence, I'd say that Tisdale is more than likely the problem.

I don't think PT will be sacked yet, if we dont improve then there may well come a time when it becomes inevitable but I dont think the board have reached that stage. If it does happen I think finances will dictate that we appoint from within, surely in the current climate we aren't going to have 2 former managers on the pay roll as well as a new manager. Not sure I'd go with Widdrington now he's a board member, I think I'd look at a management team of Hargreaves, Mansell & Maher

Tony Adams lives in the Cotswolds, and has said that he would like to be involved in football again at some point. Ask him if he's interested in coaching our defence for a couple of days a week. ..Maybe he could play - he can't be worse than Ehmer Rod, you and I could probably do a better job than Ehmer after his last two displays. And I haven’t played for 15 years and I’m a ex-keeper. UTG!

Yeah, if you don't count him, or John Ward mk1, then you really have to go back to Bert Tann. Gerry, surely? UTG!

Thankyou for your vote of confidence! I haven't played competitive league football for ~28 years, and I was a Stu Sinclair type midfielder although I'm 5ft 8.5in so much taller than him!

The last board of supporters we had were the worst board in the history of this football club. Hardly the worst board were the ones who sold Eastville Stadium. On the face of it perhaps. But the club were facing bankruptcy in 1939 so it probably looks a worse decision now, 82 years on! UTG!

A trio of Mansell, TW and Hargeaves would be nothing short of a disaster. Hargeaves was a complete failure at6 Torquay, TW has got us most of these crap players and Mansell has no experien ce whatsoever. Byron Anthony to coach maybe ok. I think we have to stick with PT for this season and get ri8d if he does take us down.
