Does make you wonder if Calde might have fared better with an experienced Assistant?

Someone along the lines of Mark McGhee or Micky Adams?

Been there, seen it and done it at that level.

We all love Calde here of course, and Bristol Rovers are an absolute shambles of a club - but it's still quite hard to make excuses for the disaster he presided over while he was there. That run of form is so bad that it is barely believable. Imagine giving a club as small as Burton an 11 point head start with 10 to play and somehow finishing below them (as well as little Crawley)

This.

Another great player and good man who like hyypia, isn't a good manager.

Bristol rovers fan told me there are some players who had too much to say for themselves and needed to be brought into line.
Calde is many good things but maybe not the man for that job.

If he runs a football team like he attempts basic graphic design, it’s no surprise he oversaw a shambles

He didn’t rip up trees as the under 18s coach here did he?

Clearly a very intelligent man, but it’s gone horribly, horribly wrong at BR and I’m not sure it can be blamed on the behind the scenes stuff. He started alright-ish in his first few games, but the recent form has been terrible.

He's had a set-back, for sure - but all is not necessarily lost. He could maybe try for an assistant manager post in the EFL, put together what he learns there with what he will have learned in the last six months, and try again.
He may or may not ultimately be successful. Good luck to him anyway.

I was at their game against Blackpool yesterday (as part of a stag do). They started ok and took the lead but once Blackpool equalized they were beyond dog shit

Going from being an under 18's coach to managing a side in the EFL is a big big step.
