If we sacked him how many League 1 jobs would he land? - zero. So why is he good enough for us?Dreadful appointment no matter how hard you try to convince us otherwise.As I said last week, there is a reason Ferguson, Challinor, Powell (interim) was all approached before him. 4th choice for a reason.3 -

Hope you mean November this year? If so then November it is, but a waste of time and another season I'm afraid. Might as well bin him off now and be done with it.3 -

I don’t rate Appleton, but I don’t think he can be blamed for Campbell 1, Campbell 2 and Edun’s performances in the first half. No manager can plan for players deciding they don’t need to defend and giving the ball away so easily.
I had to watch a stream with Peterborough commentators and they were embarrassed about them on our behalf.

Regardless of my insisting he should be given time, things are not looking good.
Why November btw?0 -

Today is the only day for me, he has got tactically wrong, before this, we have had a depleted squad, with over hyper youngsters playing!12 -

I can’t recall if he was given a vote of confidence in Wednesday’s meeting or not 🤔. Hopefully he was because that’s quite often the beginning the end for a Manager/ Head Coach.0

He needs a chance with what he wants, then judge..

There are no excuses for Appleton getting the basics wrong. What the hell was May expected to do on his own up front? It was obvious Kanu had to start.
There are so many things he messes up and you really can’t keep defending him by referring to the injuries etc.
Pure and simple he’s clueless and has zero passion.

CH4RLTON said:I know i’m in the vast majority here but I do feel at some point we do need to what Wimbledon did with Jacko last year just allow a manager stay in situ and give them 2 or 3 windows to craft a decent squad and style of play. Would I prefer it to not be Apples proablly but sacking him now and appointing someone rew is just another step further back2

Today is a prime example. He's got better players available, he loses the game because he puts them into the wrong set-up and we get dominated in the first half. This isn't the first time it's happened and it certainly won't be the last. Hasn't got a clue.5 -

@DubaiCAFC
Interesting comments about him getting it tactically wrong today. What was it particularly?0 - Sponsored links:

Appleton is a terrible manager who never should have been appointed but we do need to get our heads around the fact that he isn’t going anywhere for now. He’ll get a month or two with these players and if the results even moderately improve I would expect him to be in place next season unfortunately. But if we do sack him, who wants to join us? Nobody good. We’re in a shit situation all round.2

Maybe we shouldn't make permanent appointments, and have guest managers for blocks of games.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not confident Appleton is the man, but a quarter of a season is nothing in managerial terms. Players can be out injured for longer, and quite often ours are.

He's been manager for 25 games. 19 games in League One. Appointed at the beginning of September. I've seen enough in the 4 and a half months he's been in charge that tells me he's no real improvement over Holden.
If you want to look at his past managerial experience he gets even worse.5 -

As Browny and Curbs said, these owners are in it for the long term, and they have the ambition to get us back, it isn’t an over night fix. But chopping and changing managers isn’t the answer4 -
What's just as frustrating is he doesn't react early enough. Waiting until half time when it was plain to see nothing was working isn't good enough, we just ended up wasting a half. Though part of me was surprised he changed things then as he's so stubborn.0

He was a poor appointment, I said it at the time. Sacking Holden and replacing him with Apples wasn’t the answer. We needed a manager with momentum instead we have a journeyman with no successes. He needs to be sacked. Replaced now with a manager who will steady the ship and build for next season.18
