I'm not sure Tisdale is in the business of dropping our only competent centreback. Line up over last two games has been baffling! You have to expect a surprise or two tonight! Tisdale seems to be over complicating things and I think that's due to one key reason, he doesn't rate his squad past the usual starting XI. With players out injured he seems to be trying to find something, anything that works. It's quite clear despite Garner building a squad for wingbacks and three centrebacks, we don't have the personnel for that so I hope he reverts to a four shuffling Ehmer across and dropping Baldwin for Williams. While Tisdale's tactics have been odd, I can kind of see why he's doing it... Not that I personally would. |

I think we all need to lube up, bend over and prepare for the unavoidable bumming we are about to receive. Bolders is going to have a field day tonight! |

Going for a surprise 1 1 hard fought draw as long as he picks 4 4 2 and keeps it simple.

Hoping we set up to spoil, I'd go 4-5-1 personally; ---------------Day--------------- -------Ehmer--------Kilgour------ Williams--------------------Leahy -------Ogogo--------Grant-------- Rodman------McCormick-------Koiki -------------Hanlan-------------- Very defensive, I know but it'll help having wide players who can come back and help double up. If you offered me a point now, I'd bite your hand off. Very defensive? Tisdale has just spat his morning cuppa across the kitchen table at how recklessly gung ho that XI is. You’re at least two defenders light there. |

I am quietly confident we are going to halt the form and get a surprise one nil win. Before anyone asks, no I'm not on medication.

About time the team came together and put out a performance on the pitch, with no silly mistakes, 100% effort from all of them, chances taken, and bringing home 3 points.
We'll lose 2 - 0.
Come on Rovers!!!

If we line up defensively and get battered, I'd hate to think what the outfall would be....
However, I'm going to go for an honourable draw

Best form of defence might be attack with this one.
Unfortunately they have players who wouldn't look out of place in the championship, so either way I think we are in for a hard night.

Afraid I can only see a 4-0 or 4-1 defeat (or worse). Not feeling good about this at all, which probably means we will win 3-0! 😂⚽️

There must be a game we can defend well as a unit. Bring back 4 at the back to take full responsibility. Its time for Ehmer to step up to the plate. It might not be today, so 2 - 1 loss, but set up for Sat when our season turns for the better.

That’s 4231 if we look to get on the front foot and actually attack and not camp out on the edge of our own penalty area like a bunch of fannys. |

If we can start defending set pieces properly then we could grab a draw.. it would be a good point!

Expecting a comfortable defeat but you know the old saying, I'd go to a back 4 and look to be on the front foot more...
--------------Day
Williams Kilgour Baldwin Leahy
-------------Ehmer
-----Westbrooke McCormick
-----Hanlan Ayunga Walker
Or maybe Cam Hargreaves in the middle?

While Tisdale's tactics have been odd, I can kind of see why he's doing it... Not that I personally would. Agree with this. We were doing alright with 4 at the back, but for some reason Tisdale has chosen to revert to the system that failed so miserably under Garner. What is worse, we then revert to attempting to build everything from the back with a slow, predictable passing game. This either ends up in an inevitable long ball, or more likely a pressing opposition win the ball, like taking candy off a baby. He also seems to play players out of position too often for my liking. Ehmer is best as a central defender, solid as a traditional right back, but is hopelessly exposed as a right wing back as soon as he gets over the half way line. Shifting Baldwin into midfield against Oxford was compounding the difficulties, especially when we had better midfield options available. Ehmer needs to play at Centre back in a four with Kilgour alongside. With Hare and Little, I can't see why Williams was bought unless he is to be a regular starter so play him on the right. I like Leahy at left back if he can cut out the stupid unforced errors that have given a few goals away recently. |

Ogogo isnt good enought for me and Grant needs a rest, he is not performing well enough. I think Balwin and Kilgour offer a bit as CB's and need to be in a back 4 so let's give the captain a go in this role! Walker deserves a go and will press a lot more then Barrett |
