Tis - It Wouldn't Be Wise To Be Too Downhearted

Posted on: Mon 30 Aug 2010

Paul Tisdale spoke to the media following Saturday's dissapointing 3-0 defeat to Russell Slade's Leyton Orient.


"The best team won and we have to put it to one side and learn how we could have done it better. Other than a 10/15 minute spell after half-time we didn't give ourselves a chance.

I was glad to only go in at half time only one down and midway through the second half Ryan had a good chance of pulling it back and the keeper saved well.

But it wouldn't have been a fair reflection, they had far more shots on goal and more purpose to their play.

Even with the injuries and the players missing we could have done better. Sometimes things don't just click and today it didn't quite click for us. It doesn't make us a bad side.

I don't think it would be wise of me to be too hard on them. We changed our set-up with players coming in and still think we were set enough to be competitive and we weren't quite.

We had no purpose to our passing in the first half so I had to change how we aimed to play forward and I suppose Richard Logan became a bit of a target man.

I don't want to wallow in our misery, I don't think we have become a bad side because of 45 minutes of football.

I don't think it would be wise to be too downhearted about things. We will just get back and play on Tuesday. (against Yeovil away in the Johstone's Paint Trophy)

It was really good to see Troy back on the pitch after nine months and he did really well so that is one definite positive out of the game today. He is still a long way off yet, 80 minutes of football after nine months out is not a lot.

Daniel Nardiello didn't travel in the end, he thought he might have a chance but then he pulled out late before we travelled.

He was a miss for us and I would imagine it is highly unlikely he will play on Tuesday.

There won't be many changes for Tuesday, we may be forced into one or two but there are no plans to play a different team. We will pick one on merit and availability."
