Tisdale had only been appointed the manager 19 games ago but Rovers have decided that a change is needed if they are to have the best chance of avoiding relegation to League Two.<\/p>\n<p>Tisdale\u2019s final game in charge was the 1-0 reverse to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/?s=Oxford+united\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Oxford United <\/a>on Tuesday.
