Crewe couldn't believe it that Bowery had some how gone to a League one club. We couldn't really believe it either. But Tisdale saw something in him...
Most on here knew Agard was not good enough, regardless of his goals in League 2 next season. Tisdale thought different, again and was wrong, again.
Mason had been without a club since January (Clearly in high demand
), we all knew it was a risk, Tisdale thought different. Wrong again.
The only thing he has been right in was Healey, but Healey turned up completely unfit and unprofessional. Why did we not ensure that he was keeping himself fit while the negotiations went on?
All in all, a complete shambles of a window in terms of attacking options. Probably our worst ever. I don't think Tisdale likes to score goals.
Honestly I'm trying not to be too negative on here as people cry about it, but this squad, and equally importantly - the way we play, is just harking back to Neilson. Uninspiring, unentertaining, too defensive, questionable signings and tactics and a manager who is sleepwalking us into trouble.
Two more defeats will match our worst ever run of defeats in the league - the 2017/18 season (our relegation from L1).
Pete said he waited too long to act re sacking Neilson. I just hope he doesn't leave it too late again. If our form doesn't considerably improve by November then he has to go - that way anyone else coming in has a few weeks to assess the squad and plan for January. Not the last week of January like Pete did with Neilson and poor Micciche.
I've seen enough now to know that Tisdale isn't the man to take us forward, he just isn't a L1 manager. I don't know why people think a manager has to reach [x] amount of defeats to deserve being moved on - it's not just results, it's everything else - recruitment, playing style, tactics etc.
He's a nice bloke, we all know that, but he's not cut out for this level and severely underestimated the task.
Ultimately, his style of football just isn't the "MK Dons way" and after 18 months in charge the only thing that's impressed me is his calmness/intelligence in front of camera.
