Swindle v The Gas. Official match day thread.

But this is the issue, if he's had only 1 session what did he do to make them no have a clue what they're doing? 

The game management was exceptionally poor, we've been warned about late subs. Whether he knows the players well enough or not, he should have made subs earlier. 

It was similar when Garner took over, but in a different scenario. He had 1 session with them but we immediately looked lost on the pitch. The same thing has happened again where it went from bad to awful.

Let's see what happens next week, but I worry that with games coming thick and fast twice a week, we'll see similar excuses to before that Tisdale will only get x amount of sessions with the team. 

So you reply to this but not my other post where I have asked you to define "a old fashioned League 1 manager". I'm genuinely intrigued.. ?

Shocking display , to only show any urgency when we went a goal behind is unacceptable, if we lose Tuesday at Wigan who are in free fall ,already this season is looking like a battle against relegation.

This is exactly my point. The session would have been largely introductory one would imagine and largely unproductive. He's had next to nothing really to work on with the players.

I get some managers come in and get a new manager bounce but each squad is different, and he has come in on a Thursday. No time to get proper debriefs from the coaching staff, no time to meet the players properly, have one to ones and figure out what makes them tick. To reassure them, and let them know he's going to give them a chance and to discuss their concerns. He'd have had time for formalities and that's about it.

He also has the matter of the circumstances of the events of last Saturday to deal with, the players have had a shock.

These are a very young group of players who have largely been playing in academies and reserve squads. They've joined us in the first team and it's probably the first time that they've seen their manager get fired within months of them coming in. They're now fearing for their future. That sort of thing plays on peoples minds.

He hasn't been able to spend time with the players and work on their confidence following this event.

When it came to GC->Garner we were 4th in the league. All Garner needed to do was to come in and say do as you are and we'll figure out where we go from here. With Tisdale, we were free falling to the relegation zone, so he needs to make the intervention he hasn't been able to have the opportunity to do yet.

Tisdale needs to be given time and some of the over reaction on here is both laughable and predictable.

Today’s performance was admittedly very poor - the majority of the players had bad games. I did fear the worst after just a couple of minutes today when it became apparent we were playing with a flat back five with two holding midfielders sitting in front. The change to a back four made sense but to push Harries into midfield leaving us with a flat back four with three holding midfielders was strange to say the least. Westbrooke needs to be back in the starting line up and Kilgour taken out of the firing line for a few weeks at least.

Hopefully Tisdale can get to work on the training ground, build some confidence and come up with a system which suits the players and most importantly gives us some attacking threat. Fingers crossed for Tuesday!

Tisdale said himself that he would own today's result - maybe it's time to move on from regurgitating childish comments about BG?

We got lots of wingbacks but no full back well suited to a back four who can defend and cut out a cross.

Cheer up Tilly, all is not lost at least big jock is back in the building and me.
Ooh wait a minute...............😂

I fear your wasting your breath Tilly. I seen someone calling him Tisfail earlier - makes you wonder whether some of our fans deserve a winning team.
