Is that stopping us complain about refs?LargeAddick said:We moan about refs usually but both centre halves should have seen red today and them have a pen. It evens out over the season. Some need to remember that.
Not for me.0 -
Appleton doesn’t get a budget.
He’s not going anywhere until next season at the earliest.
It’s shit but it’s what we’ve got.0 -
But I do think they would be a bit more enthusiastic on the touch line…RoanRedNY said:

well he doesn't choose who to spend on, can't see why a player would want to play for him thoughRodneyCharltonTrotta said:fenaddick said:Surely good leadership is admitting your mistakes and that means sacking Appleton
I certainly wouldn't chance him with a transfer budget. An uninspiring appointment who stands there like he's scouting a sunday league game.
Good point. Worrying thing is that (IF there is) any transfer budget/ strategy it will have likely been discussed with him for weeks e.g. agreeing player targets etc.
Yes the players aren't his but playing Alfie May on the wing, not playing Watson and not drilling the team to avoid late goals raises red flags at his ability to move the club forward even if he got a roll of the transfer dice.1 -
Whatever you think of Appleton you can’t deny completely killing may - our only bright spark of shit season and a talisman who actually creates and drives us forward - shows what an awful awful coach he is3

Not beaten a current top half club at the midpoint of the season. Sums us up.0

Of course not - but the current set up isn't working.ForeverAddickted said:
Of course its hindsight - Fair enough if Curbs and Brownie are saying that we shouldn't be playing X in one position, and Y in another position.supaclive said:
It isn't hindsightForeverAddickted said:
Of course it isnt... But have been pretty tired with the match thread tonight with so many using the power of Hindsight to say what the right set of tactics should be.Scoham said:
Pep wannabes? This is nowhere near good enough. It’s fair to point out our manager is stubbornly sticking with some of his choices that haven’t been working over the last few months.ForeverAddickted said:The Pep wannabes can breathe a sigh of relief
Many a Charlton fan punching the air with a silent "Told you so" with that goal
So many come out with what Appleton should do, but dont stop and think for one moment that their tactical genius could result in an even worst outcome
I've read the same comments for 4 games minimum now in a row
Don't play May at right wing
Don't play Fraser
Don't play Campbell in the "10"
We can't keep a clean sheet
We have no leaders
Appleton isn't changing things
We've lost again
It isn't hindisght
It's history repeating itself over and over and over again
Curbs and Brownie repeating it too
Are they not qualified either?
They are saying what has been said on here throughout the night.
We can't all be wrong
And Appleton right
Sorry.
But what's to say we'd have won tonight with the players in the "right" system? - Can you guarantee me 100% a way we'd have won tonight, absolutely confident in the knowledge it would have happened?
Because unless you've got a f**king time machine, there is zero way anyone can go into a game with that... therefore its still a case of hindsight
We can all see it.
The best goalscorer in this division two and a half years running is being marginalised by an average League 1 manager who's overseen 2 wins in 11 league games, a draw against CVPM and a defeat versus Gillingham.
He's not seeing a pattern is he......1 -
Scott will be the one buying the players, Appleton will sign it off but let’s not get it twisted that Appleton will be given the budget to do as he pleases.Bedsaddick said:There is absolutely no way i would give Appleton a transfer budget. Playing May out on the wing is proof enough that he's not the man for the job. Get rid.0 -

Curbs and Brown stating what we all know. No leaders on the pitch, appalling marking for Rovers second goal etc etc.1

But what's to suggest the system you were screaming for tonight was going to work either?supaclive said:

How do you know your approach will work... the same as Curbs, the same as Brownie as none of them have done a single piece of analysis on Bristol Rovers prior to the game
Or are you arrogant enough to think that teams can waltz up to games, have a system and completely ignore what the opposition have in store themselves?

Well we'll have no fans then. Attendances will drop further and further. Would you honestly trust that clown to be involved in player recruitment?Callumcafc said:Appleton doesn’t get a budget.

It’s shit but it’s what we’ve got.1
