THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

yep, his time is up, we are a league 2 team with league 2 players he has signed, to defence minded we finished that match with 7 defenders on the park, pete wont stand for another relegation tisdale will be gone before xmas

I’ve just watched it and have to agree with you, he maybe saying stuff so as to not knock the players confidence anymore but if he really meant any of the dross he spouted then it really is worrying.

Be very careful what you wish for!
Does anybody on here really think a change of manager is going to make our players world beaters.
Just sit back and think! if PW sacks Tissy who would replace him, just another from the Merry-go-round (Pardew, Pullis, Big Sam etc.)
Notts County, Ipswich to name just two from last season, changed managers still got relegated.
Watford this season changed manager still to win a league game.
Sport is all about confidence, winning breeds confidence, losing drains it!
I've watched football for over 60 years from amateur to PL level it's always the same.
If your having a bad run, lady luck seems to kick you in the teeth, like the goal against Southend.
Seem to be dominant, then lucky ricochet, pass into an empty net.
Players and fans get that "here we go again" feeling.
We have a squad of journeymen professionals, it's what we can afford.
Loan players are only a short term fix, at L1 & L2 level you have to make your own players, like Dele.
When we get our injured players back if things do not improve, then maybe.

The squad is the product of a team that is making £10k losses a day. You are forced to spend on journeymen, players with no realistic chance of ever making a decent run injury-free and players who probably only score half a dozen goals a season. Winkelman is, therefore, cutting back and the chances of strengthening in January are very slim. The squad is basically the same as it'll be when the season's over, making relegation a dead cert.
Still, at least there's a new training ground to look forward to lol.

I too have followed footy for over 60 years and confirm from my experiences every word of the above.

Those who think spending money is the answer should take a look at Derby's first against Luton and reflect upon the fact that Luton paid in excess of ONE MILLION for him. And that was just the latest of his cock ups.

101 club, number 1564

Decided to come back.

Who would replace him? Someone with experience of getting teams promoted from this league for starters (Tisdale doesn't have that).

You've given examples of teams that have changed managers and got relegated, I can provide just as many teams that changed managers and they were a success.

It's not just a case of a change of manager to hopefully improve the short term, but the longer term outlook. PT isn't the right man to get this club to the Championship. His recruitment just isn't good enough (no loans, no capable enough striker to replace what we lost in Aneke, signing injury prone players - I know, nothing new for us). I don't trust him with the January window.

Neil Harris.

and that person is?

And how will they do anything different considering most of our attacking players are injured?

As I said at the bottom of my post it's not just about the short term. PT shot himself in the foot by not recruiting well in attacking positions this summer, compounded by not bringing any loanees in.

A new manager can plan for January, bring in a few he trusts. There's also such a thing as a new manager bounce and let's be honest anything is better than Tisdale's tactics and team selections (he's getting close to Neilson levels of questionable tbh).

I'd go for Neil Harris - he's available, young (Pete has a track record of going for younger managers), did well on a limited budget at Millwall and recruited well over the years. Got Millwall promoted from L1.
