Thought that was a great interview. Clearly aware of some of the criticism he has been getting and is facing up to it. Even calls out Holloway for the BS article. Also says "bookies seem to know what's going on" in relation to a new manager. So, unless that is sarcasm, it would suggest Barton? Fair play, comes across a lot better in that interview than he did when discussing Tisdale’s departure. Seems mad to get a performance we’ve not seen since the 5th of December out of them but not take the manager’s job til the end of the season.

Little dig at Holloway was interesting 🤨? Rightly bloody so I guess he’s earned that!

So is Widdrington a Magician who can pull rabbits from a hat - Jonah "Rabbit" Ayunga.

Good interview and he told it as it was. Said he gave clear messages and the coaches trained the players for it. Players knew how to play and all did their jobs. I said earlier that he gives straightforward messages and he looks to keep it simple. Of course he’s going to support his players saying they’re good enough, he’s the manager for the foreseeable future and will be fighting their corner and building their confidence. I expect Ayunga and Daly will be prepared to run through a brick wall for him after what he said. It’s not really rocket science is it? And of course he’s going to have a dig at past managers and even Ollie, clear message and keep it simple with 100% effort and commitment to players he’s chosen make for a good performance, and tonight a win. Well done Tommy.

Great job tonight Tony seems like you know how to prepare a team and able to motivate. Shame you don’t fancy the job full time although I understand it’s a precarious role as opposed to the much more secure job of DofF.
Not sure how you made such a cock up in appointing Tisdale though. I guess we’ll have to wait for the TW Diaries for that one.
God knows how Teflon, The mad priest from Father Ted, Wael and Tom are going to get the next appointment right. Maybe the law of averages will save us.

Rightly a very smug post match interview. Would like to see him keep that up for a few games to help secure league safety and convince any suitors it’s not a mission impossible. We’re in the equivalent of a fire sale atm so not a good time to secure a decent manager. No rush though eh Tommy? He seems to have motivated the players. Who would have thought telling Ayunga we signed you because we beleive in you, was a good idea? TW knows all about these players, so lets give him a few games and see if we can pick up a few more points. Feels like, jumping in and appointing someone else might just disrupt things again

Also, a fair part may be that he advised Tisdale differently to what he said in his interview, you know when Tisdale ‘leaned’ on him for advice as he signed the players!😉 I can’t wait to hear what he comes out with after a loss.

If we went down with him as manager then surely his position at the club would be at risk? I get the impression he prefers the scouting side of things much more than the coaching side, but he wanted to prove a point last night and certainly did.

Perhaps the post match interview was not only aimed at comments of previous managers and pundits but also at the comments of some fans who have written of not only Ayunga but several other of our young or new players.
Its not a huge surprise to me that Ayunga turned in a good game (although surprised at the quality of his goals). He is a young raw striker that needs coaching and praising but has shown that he has enough ability to play at this level. When things are going badly very easy to get on the back of one or two players. In our case it seems to be anyone tarnished by being signed under BG.
If we can get a spell of good form under our belts other players that come back in will also shine. This is a good squad of players that need some confidence and results. But last night as in other games (beating Lincoln away?) shows that we have the ability.
Not getting carried away but I believe we have enough in the squad to move up the table. Might be worth one or two posters re-reading their comments on Ayunga and asking themselves how good a judge of players are they?

Although we have been so poor this season, I have seen more potential in this group of players than we have had in a long time. Some wont make it, sure. But I think with the right coaching and leadership - and a couple of new additions in the summer - we have the makings of an exciting team to watch. Not getting carried away, confidence is fragile and a couple of defeats could send the team (and this forum) spiraling again! But with a bit of luck we'll be back watching exciting passionate players for real again in the not too distant future. UTG

I hope tonight’s win justifies Tommy’s position at the club. He’s been slated recently but he’s proven tonight what an absolute fraud Tisdale was and how inept and clueless he proved himself to be. There were no preemptive excuses, no fancy wordy ramble pre match. No stupid tactics or formations. but set up to play simple football, with solid tactics and people in their right positions. These players when coached properly and trained well can get us out. Well done Tommy. Now onto the next. Come on, that’s not quite right is it? If Daly took his chances in the Oxford game the outcome may have been different the same with the Peterborough game although we earned a well deserved point. Coached properly? That’s an odd one considering. So who’s players are these exactly? Garners, Tisdales two or Widderingtons? And who is the next boss going to be? All calm on the western front/ behind the scenes I presume. Until the next time. Its perfectly right. You saying "if" to everything is nonsense. If we hadnt conceeded 6 against Accrington we would have won 1-0. Its about what you do in games, the starting formation, in game tactics, how you motivate the players. The players play for the football club, its irrelevant who signed them to be honest as most of the pros have experience in this league or have been part of bigger football clubs than us, each pro knows and is capable of playing football. When a manager applies for a job its because he has a belief in his ability to coach and manage what ever is there already. No manager in league football has his "own" set of players unless he has been at the club for 2 seasons and every football manager in the league is working with players who were signed on the recommendation of their respective boards, DOFs or previous management. I have no idea who the next gaffer will be and will find out when the rest of you do.

Last Night post-match TW had a clear dig at Holloway about the Bristol Post article. I'm very firmly with TW here. I thought it was a disgraceful article. I really hope this puts to bed the small but very vocal minority of supporters that want Holloway back involved with the club. He's burnt out and past his best. I enjoyed watching Holloways Rovers sides but football and Rovers as a club have moved on & I really hope that everyone buys into that now & stops singing his prases every time we have a slight wobble. www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ian-holloway-bristol-rovers-job-4995701

I have no idea who the next gaffer will be and will find out when the rest of you do. Regarding your second paragraph I never said anything different, the likes of you and others did in defence of Ben Garner but that’s by the way. I shall agree to disagree but listening to last nights interview only reinforces my point regarding behind the scenes goings on. If I am the only one who believes that then so be it but the man himself has said in past interviews that Tisdale has been to him for guidance towards the players...so he deliberately played them out of position and not to their strengths to the detriment of Rovers and his job? If so then the sack was the only option. Hopefully Rovers can climb the table and these past eighteen months can be lost in history somewhere. UTG

Funny that, I thought the targets he and Tommy had led nowhere so hardly his fault he didn’t waste money on a signing for the sake of it. The plot thickens. No it doesn’t, it is quite clear.

Or another take he had money to spend but Widds didn't want to complete any transfers whilst wanting the manager to fail. Sadly it looks like the two didn't get on and the club and team suffered as a result of it. Time to move on. edit: Sorry Harry, looks like we see it the same way.

I guess he’s earned that! Holloway has got far too much to say about the board and the general running of the club IMO utg
