    Jones didn't even jump for the first header. What's happened to him these past few weeks?

    Felt at HT that we'd shown enough in the first-half to make a go of it second-half but we can let goals in for fun can't we. BBC Derby co-comm behind me suggests on air we have a 'soft touch' - he should watch us every week because he's bang right
    I really wouldn't recommend watching us every week.

    Just can't defend, had much more joy watching the darts as opposed to watching this bunch of no hopers. No joy what so ever.

    And whoever coaches our defence should be sacked

    Can't even blame Appleton for that shit defending. Indefensible 
    True. It’s not like he’s head coach or anything.

    I also think our time supporting the managers with no eyebrows union is nearing an end.  We need a manager who can raise one or both so we know when he’s surprised/joking/quizzical.

    He’s gotta get the sack soon surely

    Ladapo controls and fires over the bar from a tight angle

    Why are we now predominantly playing down the right?

    FFS Edun now has the smooth side of the pitch. Play down the left.

    Charlton fans sing "we've had a shot" after Ladapo hits one over bar.

    They must've been on the concourse for the entire first half...

    Don't get the " we've had a shot" chant, we've had plenty of shots and reasonable attacking play.

    It's the pub league defending which is the problem

    Appleton is short sighted and refuses to wear Glasses so he can see over the other side of the pitch

    Ironic singing from Charlton fans "We've had a shot" as Ladapo smashes it over their bar from a tight angle.

    Interesting contrast in the coaching area on 28 mins -
    Burton boss furiously barking out precise positional
    adjustments. 

    Our bloke has a bobble hat on and hands in pockets. 
    Does he overly need to do anything at the moment? - We basically controlled the first half, apart from one long ball that wasnt dealt with properly

    So whatever he got them to do pre-game doesnt really need to be changed whilst you're in control.

    Barking out orders every few minutes, just has the ability to confuse the players... e.g. see Adkins
    There's one example of how Apple's disengagement on the sidelines is poor management
    Some players take the hint from him
    He's obviously not bothered, why should I be?
    None of them enjoy getting bollocked they'd stay on their toes to avoid it
    Many of them are as dim as dim can be and need frequent reminders precisely what the Eff they're out there for

    Apples matchday demeanour is telling as to the depth of his involvement - The utterly unforgivable shitness of the defending gifting Burton their 2 goals has to piss him off unless he genuinely doesn't give a shit, Apples watched it all and didn't react - the case for the prosecution rests.

    We've tried 4 'nice guy' managers in a row. Think it's time for a real bastard.

    Joey Barton or Steve Evans anyone? :wink:

    A decent manager with this squad would absolutely batter Burton

    Were only going one direction with this goof in charge

    To be honest, he hasn’t been great all season.. he has cost us more goals than Hector

    I think many on here would put Appleton in that category ;)

    I'm really not sure Edun and Watson know what their job is?
    Both look very uncomfortable

    I’d love to know how our stats for accurate crosses compare to other teams. Feels like almost never clear the first defender, regardless of who it’s is crossing or where on the pitch they are crossing from.
