You can't turn mutton into lamb, doesn't matter how good you are. The people to blame are Garner and the board that bought into his ridiculous and inexperienced plan. Cheap swipe blaming Tisdale. Judge him when he's been able to build his own squad.In League Two? Checked your crystal ball before taking to the keyboard?

Ah well easy game being a manager, even harder when it’s someone else’s squad and that squad were already bereft of confidence and likely to get worse no matter who manages them. Not helped by the lack of experience in there to work though bad form. A development squad put together by someone who only knew development squads, when what we needed was battle hardened League One players and the board backed Garner. Blaming Tisdale is a cheap swipe It’s not a cheap swipe. The facts and stats are there for all to read. Tisdale has had 12 league games and 3 or 4 cup games to get us ship shape, stronger mentally and on the field and to improve us as a unit. Facts also show that we look worse now than we have ever done. That takes some doing. Yes he inherited a squad that wasn’t his which was unbalanced and lacked various skill sets, but he’s a football manager who’s seen it all and if his management consultant videos are anything to go by, he should have whipped this lot into shape on week 1. We had no new manager bounce and neither have we had any progressive improvement to give us any evidence we are going to stay up. You can't turn mutton into lamb, doesn't matter how good you are. The people to blame are Garner and the board that bought into his ridiculous and inexperienced plan. Cheap swipe blaming Tisdale. Judge him when he's been able to build his own squad.

I don't think this is any reflection on Tisdale, it just goes to show what a crap, inexperienced, imbalanced squad Garner put together. It takes transfer windows to sort this mess out, January is always a dead loss, so it's hang on till the summer and hope for the best. We’ve picked up less points against worse opposition since Tisdale came in with the same players.

PT knew what he was working with when he took the job. If he couldn't hack it he shouldn't have applied/accepted the position I don't think this is any reflection on Tisdale, it just goes to show what a crap, inexperienced, imbalanced squad Garner put together. It takes transfer windows to sort this mess out, January is always a dead loss, so it's hang on till the summer and hope for the best.

Got to be said, what a class act Paul Tisdale is. Great post match from so many points of view 👏

The BG rebuild has consisted as far too many young developing players and you have to question whether BG wanted players who were young and there for development a) because that is what he has spent his career so far doing and is his comfort zone and b) because older more experienced heads would be bigger personalities and more knowledgeable than him because he had no player career. Watching this develop over the summer was worrying and all you could do was hope he could make it work. Well time proved he couldn't and Tisdale has inherited the problem and I hope he and Mr 100% are already scanning the market for January.
Every team needs a good spine running right down through the middle of the pitch to have a chance to do well or better. An experienced keeper, 2 experienced centre backs, 2 experienced centre mids and at least one experienced older head up top. We've got the keep and we've got Ehmer and that is it from what I've seen. Ok watching on the telly doesn't give you the full 360 of everything going on out on the pitch, you watch what the camera points at and not necessarily players/elements of team shape that you want to look at. But it looks like we are sorely lacking in experienced leadership down through that spine.
An old Holloway chestnut, "you need piano players and piano movers", you have to have players who do the dirty work so the artists can shine. Where are the centre mids who break it up and give it? The critics Ollie Clarke and his like have had over the years! I'd have him back in a shot but that won't happen.
These balances need sorting out. Sadly all Tisdale can do is work with what he has until seeing what is available in January.
Until then he needs our support and sympathy because this won't be easy and may prove to be the hardest managerial job of his career.

I mean I for one didn’t expect a centre half to replace a central midfielder in the 87th minute when 1-0 down to Swindon if I am 100% honest. This. Even if he hadn't met any players, or seen any previous games, that sub made no sense at all unless we were settling for a 1-0 defeat. Made sense to me, start of the second half he switched to a flat back 4, that sub switched us to 3 at the back pushing an extra body forward. It isn't rocket science.

I know it’s lockdown and I know it’s driving people bat sh** crazy but utter bollocks being spouted here is ridiculous.
Tisdale went into the game having not had a day on the grass and heavily reliant on the coaching staff for everything in prep for this game and then during the game.
For goodness sake, what did anyone expect?
Easy game football management isn’t it eh?

Paul cook had a glint in his eye all day on sky when he spoke about us. I’ve got a feeling he knew. I’d have him in a heartbeat. Absolutely love Paul Cook - would be over the moon with that! Never mind the bollocks

As long as BG continues to use systems associated with the Premier League and its academies (which is just exhibition football) here in League One, we will only be heading in the wrong direction.
League One is a very different back yard.

Everything I saw on Saturday, holes in the back, punchless up top, said one thing, the system was all wrong.
If we are going to play 3 at the back then we need 5 across midfield. These systems may work in the Premier league or Premier academies, but this is League 1 with a different caibre of player, in particular midfielders. Here we don't have that exceptional talent that allows you to release 3 to up top. The midfield gets over run and the back 3 become exposed. Meanwhile the midfield over run and chasing shadows can't then support that front 3, who then get cut off and isolated up top.
BG needs to learn and learn fast that is in a very different playground from what he is used to, take a reality check with where he is now plying his trade and change his system.

Season before last his impact was undeniable. Last season, while not bad, his form wasn't the same nor his fitness. If we have decent money and were staring down the prospect of him leaving in 12 months for nothing, then good business.
Just hope we have someone lined up, hopefully two good strikers.

Everyone hails Browner's right foot, but both Billy Bob's feet were equally as important that day
Can only wish him the very best
