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.
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.

THE MANAGERS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
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!
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.

Appleton is not the next Guadiola, of course. My anger is directed at Scott, the people behind the appointment are THE issue.

Growing? I'd say we've pretty much maxed out. Were close to only the die hard rain or shiners showing up.
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.
Awful manager. Worrying the management team think it's worth keeping him. Can't play a player in proper positions, drops one of our best players (Watson) inexplicably and fails to drill the team to not concede late on.
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?
Would love to know what people are seeing to justify giving this guy a transfer window. Even more so after today - we just gave up 29 shots to Port Vale.
1 Win in 10 (In League 1) with some dreadful performances and some people still think he deserves time.

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

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?
Giving this clown May and JCH in this league would be like Redbull deciding they fancy putting Stevie Wonder in for Verstappen. Get rid of him, absolute joker

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.
coaching?
Taking us backwards.
