Bring back Tilly.

[Yer Blues]

I would like him to come in now and save our season.

Bonkers.

There is an argument for replacing Powell which I’m happy to hear, though don’t agree with yet.

There’s no argument for bringing in someone who hasn’t managed in the football league since relegating Lincoln in 2011.

And I ****ing love Tilly.

We can do without route one football, we ain’t in league two anymore.

Like Tilly a lot and know him personally but been out of the game a long time now. I think Ron Martin will persevere with Powell for a bit longer but if a change happens I think someone like Kevin Maher as interim manager would be more likely

We are 4 points off league 2.

And he got us promoted to the champ.

Your next point?

I don't think we were long ball merchants under ST? you not thinking of PS? Think under ST we played quite attractive football for a team made up of grafters and the odd star.

 

[RHB]

A nice nostalgic thought, but that's all it is. Tilly and Brush had their day and it has now past.

Bring back Dave Smith. 85 is no age these days.

 

[Thor]

If Powell were to go I'd like to see someone like Steve Holland in the hot seat.

We're 13th and we've played 5 of the top 6 in our last 7 matches, the other two matches were against a Bristol Rovers side that Coughlan has revitalised (they thrashed Blackpool 4-0 on Saturday) and an Accrington side that by all accounts we dominated but just couldn't finish off. We've only got 3 points from those fixtures but if you'd showed those 7 fixtures to us before they were played most fans wouldn't have expected more than 6 points off them, so it's not a massive discrepancy.

Bradford showed we're more than capable of playing against the weaker sides in the league and the Portsmouth game showed that we aren't useless, I think we'll finish lower than we currently are but we've got enough to stay up so long as Cox stays fit.

The reason Tilly did so well was he was managing his team mates. He was extremely well liked by the squad at the time. They really tried for him and wanted him to do well, even tho he wasn't a great manager. I think that's why it didn't work for him at Lincoln. They were not his mates. So I don't think it would turn out as good as you think if he came back.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Loved Tilly but he's had his time, don't doubt he could come in to assist but not as manager.

 

[Farmer Fossett]

I don’t think any of our former players (with maybe the exception of Neil Harris) should be in the running to be our next manager!

 

[lombard]

No thanks to a returning Tilson.

 

[Ricey]

I’d only take Tilly back if Brush was with him. “Staying up with Steve Tilson” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Maybe Graham Jones Luton wanted him apparently and is highly rated but bit out of our reach I think

Yeah and stuck with league two style football in the championship........then got relegated.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Do we really need a new groundsman?

(And before anyone starts, I loved Tilly both as a player and manager for us).

Don't think it'd be right to bring back Tilson but i don't understand the route one football? Could you explain because i remember us playing easily the best football in the last 20 years under him.

Plus the fact we were fortunate to basically play a settled side every game, as we hardly had any injuries to players. Certainly not long term ones.
