    Minority here, but I can see what he wants us to do, we have an identity but not the players capable of pulling it off. 

    Major surgery needed, but I don’t think getting rid of ANOTHER manager is the answer. 

    Out of interest what do you see that he wants us to do? 

    Cause all I saw yesterday was AMB passing to Dobson who was at right side defense from every goal kick and Dobson trying to long ball it or Hector trying to long ball it. We had maybe one decent passage of play in 90 mins. Their keeper barely made a challenging save the whole game. 

    There is no proof that this guy can do better with better players at his disposal, as he never has achieved at this level, only at League 2 level

    These idiots appointed him so now should give him a chance to do the job they think he can do.
    THE MANAGERS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
  • Which game was it? Gillingham?
    When Appleton said he was hurting as much, maybe more, than the fans are.
    Awww bless.
    Looks as if we have to tolerate this appointment by the bullshitters in order not to hurt Appletons feelings.

    Nothing against him personally, and I appreciate we may not be able attract/want to pay for better, but this is a pathetic appointment 

    He may well have a bit of a bounce, I think he could be gone by March, and he’s very much a manager that fits a league one club looking to cement 13th

    This post may come back to make me look silly, and I’ll have to eat humble pie, but really not feeling this at all
    Just going back through the early comments on this thread, as I always find it interesting to look back and see what we thought versus what’s transpired.  The majority of the comments were decent, ie ‘not inspired by this, but will give him time etc’.  Be interesting to see if he goes.  We’ve got a tough run now and little in the way of talent to give us much confidence.  I said March above, but if we continue this run it could be earlier than that.  

    Thought AFKA made a decent point when referencing the growing number of fans we’ve got who are growing tired of how shit we’ve become.  Nail on the head.  We needed this appointment to work out, people are just fed up and it doesn’t take much now.

    Yes but this one is a problem - most of us didn't want him here in the first place and he's done F-all to change our minds - just proved why he was the wrong appointment - I'm not saying someone else would magically have got us up in the top 6 at this stage but its a really weak league this year and I would expect a decent experienced manager to set up a team and formation that makes the most of the players at his disposal and get them playing with a clear idea of what is expected of them and show some passion from the side-lines when its not going to plan and change things up. He just stands there like a bloody statue during the game and repeats the same mistakes over and over again.  Most non-league teams can defend corners better than we do - its not rocket science!
    Appleton is not the next Guadiola, of course.  
    My anger is directed at Scott,  the people behind the appointment are THE issue.

    How is he still here?
    Why wouldn’t he be?

    Maybe a silly question from me the way I phrased it but the way your question was phrased suggested you knew something / expected him to be gone.

  • Michael Duff is available btw
    No chance we’d get him, wish we would.

    It's okay. With Michael Appleton's trusted men in the January window, he'll show us how to properly concede injury time goals and drop points every game. 
  • Has to go 
  • What’s going on with the
     coaching?

  • He had no one on the bench today to get fresh legs out there

    Fraser got left on the bench, which probably doesn't bother anyone, the rest who got left on there were as the result of Childcare Vouchers being taken advantage of - What's the new man going to do the change that, if he's in the exact same scenario?
    Hey micheal happy new year

    Throwing away the lead 3 times in one game and 7 goals conceded in a row post 80 minutes lies with the manager for me. Fundamental issues with his tactics that aren’t being fixed. Usually like to give a manager time and fed up of the constant merry go round but we need to get rid
    Bang on.

    You seriously aren’t defending him? 
    What have you seen since he has been here that we are better at than what we was doing under Holden? 
    Nothing, in fact, we are worse.

    Still the manager gets the blame when the players are making the same mistakes every week
     
    The players have let us down AGAIN!!
