I have always felt bosses need two years and that sometimes it gets worse before it improves.
Remember Chris Powell's unimpressive start in 2011? There were strong rumours he would be sacked that summer. Thankfully he wasn't and led us to an amazing promotion winning season.
Apples has clearly been allowed to bring in players he knows this window. I believe sacking him now would just add to the instability around the club. Coventry and Ladapo are top signings and need to be here next season ,.let's get behind the club.
My fear though is that he might find it difficult to get the fans back onside
As a supporter base we need to back someone to last more than six months.

I hear what you are saying, But how can the fans get behind MA? He has zero connection with the fans, He clearly has lost the dressing room, the reaction of Alfie May alone after the game was cue to that. The football has been utter dross, hands in his pockets, not encouraging us to get the ball forward? instead we are passing it between the back 2 for 5 mins before alfie may comes into a CDM position because of how static we are.

Powell's record that season really was terrible, but the context was different. The relatively strong start to the season meant that relegation was very unlikely. Even with the dreadful end to the season, we finished 13th, which is above where we are now. We're currently only 7 points off of the relegation zone, and very much in relegation form. Additionally, the team in 21st have a game in hand on us and the team in 22nd have two. I'd hope the quality of players we've brought in means that we won't ultimately get pulled into the relegation battle, but they are all, as yet, unproven in a Charlton shirt, while one of our most effective players this season is on the way out. I normally advocate for giving managers time, and think the current culture of sacking the manager whenever the team is on a bad run is self-defeating, but it's important to recognise the seriousness of our situation.

Surely the manager has to show some positive managerial capability though? What has Appleton shown us so far? I am genuinely struggling to see what he’s bringing us apart from ever closer to relegation.
Tactically inept, players don’t want to play him, haven’t won a game in 12 last was the end of November against Cheltenham. With the squad we have we should be chasing not in a relegation battle. Action has to be taken ASAP.
Last couple of years we have had good followings, look at our away support today.

The supporters are not the problem
I agree we are not.
What I am trying to say is we can't keep changing manager and expecting sustained improvements in performance. I have a horrible feeling that many have already made their minds up about Apples.
If Appleton does get sacked tonight ( as some seem to be predicting) then the next incumbent needs to be given at least two years to build something.
I was hoping given that two of the new players have previously played for him that this squad is now beginning to be his and next season is when he should be judged.
Good coach but I’m not sure if he’s not just another Appleton, albeit one that’s actually achieved something. Prickly character and could go wrong very quickly with him.
I also think Nathan Jones and Rowett should be able to attract Championship jobs.

In this window we are already building for next season and by the end of the window the squad will be a lot different, and a lot better balanced and a lot stronger, than at the beginning of it. Get a new manager in, have a good end to the season, a few tweaks in the summer window and there is no reason next season can’t be a successful one. Keep Appleton, he’ll be gone by November with another season wasted. He needs to go now so that we stay up this season and give ourselves the best chance of success next season.

You just cant defend him.

He did a good job at Millwall. They’ve done absolutely nothing since he left.
I also think Nathan Jones and Rowett should be able to attract Championship jobs.
I thought he was somewhere, Bristol City? Has he left already, must have missed that.
Chris Powell played for Palace.
