Re: Tisdale must go
Surely the perfect scenario is a Didcot win?

Not in sales Ant , people who don't hit targets genuinely are moved on (sadly at times)Actually, I think it's entirely the opposite. When, outside of professional sport, was the last time you heard of someone getting the sack for underperforming? Everyone knows someone who's dreadful at their job and we've all gone home to complain to the other half about how dreadful they are yet they remain there year after year. Redundancies and closures apart, everyone has job security way beyond that which a football manager can expect.
Actually, your response is the biggest yawn, again. You suggest we deserve to be carp because we've always been carp. You may be happy with that whereas I thought we had moved on from accepting mediocrity long ago. We will never progress with that attitude.Here comes yet another predictable yawn fest that will prove pointless, because of over expectancy and lack a grasp on reality, and fruitless, because Tis hasn't done near enough to get the sack, again. There has been far worse in years gone by.
Don't bring them into it. Tisdale picks the team and decides on tactics. He takes responsibility for success or failure on the pitch within the confines of budget. If he is unhappy with any of that, he could choose to leave.Getting rid of Tisdale would be pointless unless the likes of Perryman and Tagg **** off too. Sad fact is, if Tisdale was to go it's fairly inevitable Butterfield/Oakley would take charge, which doesn't fill me with any hope at all- other than the fact there is less chance they'll be on the pitch playing, of course.
I think that a couple of bad results just brings things to a head once again. The problems are deep seated and there for all to see.Far from it. I think with the squad we have, we are capable of making the play-offs. However, as I've said on numerous occasions already this season, we are part of a group of ten teams who are at the same level as us. Now anybody with the slightest knowledge of maths will realise that ten into four simply doesn't go. Becuase of the size of that group of teams, we will all suffer from some level of inconsistancy. I don't particularly agree with some of Tisdales selections either especially in midfield (I would love to see Harley supported by Oyeleke and McCready and his willingness to play Buttercup annoys me beyond anything you'd even want to begin to believe) or his re-signings (why he Oakley and Morrison got another contract baffles me).
What p!$$e$ me off with these regular bore fests is that they start as soon as we lose a couple of games. Because of what I've stated above, I accept that this is going to happen from time to time and that it will be rescued before it gets into anything that really is worth shouting about. Much as I hate to admit this, we aren't good enough to be up with The Scummers at the moment. This isn't accepting of mediocrity, this is just understanding where we are at the moment.
We seem to be having knee-jerks season after season.A little knee-jerk at the moment, but if we lose at Didcot and slip further away from the play-offs that could change.
