I’m edging towards the fact Appleton isn’t the one.
How can you lose a 2-0 lead from the 85 min at home?! Unforgivable

I have just listened to his post match interview and to be fair he acknowledges that the squad is not good or strong enough. He said he needs older players in the side who can manage games better. Spoke alot about January which was conducive to what I have been told in terms of new players coming in.
Lets hope it materialises because without it we are in trouble. We need to build for next season next month and not wait until it's upon us..

That is encouraging,but like you say it's still hoping at this point,AS interview's draw me in thinking we're in good hands,but then reading comments on another thread that he effectively took punts on players because of the window closing in on him? Surely the equation cannot be made simpler for SE7,wanting out of this league will cost....pay the going rate to improve your chances,or don't and wait for a miracle. |

We need to build for next season next month and not wait until it's upon us.. Appleton cost us the game today. He says he needs older players to help manage the games, why did he take May off and bring on Mbick immediately after the 1st goal then? He’s been dealt a tricky hand and admittedly didn’t have many options to choose from today, but his subs late on were laughable. Trying to see the game out with Elerewe, T Campbell, Kanu and Mbick was always going to end the way it did. He’s shown today he doesn’t have the game management needed to take us up. |

The painfully weak squad cost us the game today, and after two transfer windows , that’s down to the owners.
Nobody wanted Appleton for a reason, and nobody thinks he’s the answer to our problems. But his appointment was symptomatic of our deeper problems.
Appoint a quality coach like Nathan Jones or Mark Warburton, and give him 5/6 Championship-standard players, and things start to look very different.
Stats show that the much maligned Ipswich Town spent and turned over twice as much as us to get out of this tinpot league.
The one and only way we ever get out of L1 is with money. Today proved it.

The Ipswich owners are very shrewd and got a top class manager and squad in place we are just another project with our owners not their priority. We appointed Apples because he was cheap

We appointed Apples because he was cheap Is Friedman etc even putting any money in our club?. The three investors are covering the losses of some £6-8M per season. Things should improve once we secure promotion but today has placed a massive dent in play-off hopes. Up until this month many probably thought that Appleton was making steady progress as well as managing games fairly well. |

We appointed Apples because he was cheap Project for what though mate? A project to piss 8 million up the wall each season for staying 10th in the league…..sorry but that doesn’t make any sense to me? If the owners have been spun a line that we will go up via a Scott Wing and a prayer recruitment process like this last summer then they have been in for a rather rude awakening Money will get you out of this league….hard cash….. We need real quality players coming in on perms to put some building blocks in place as per what Bolton and Portsmouth have been doing….. January will give us a real indication of the new owners ambition, I am not saying it will solve all our problems in one month but the quality of player coming in and the money spent will give us all we need to know |

We need to build for next season next month and not wait until it's upon us.. From what I've seen, I don't want him to be part of the "new dawn". We'd sign a creative n.o. 10 and he'd play him left back. The same goes for Andy Scott. Apart from Alfie and Lloyd Jones, what a shower of shit he has brought in |

First February then six months to August. One would imagine that investors will lose patience if they can't see real progress by then. |

There is no point focusing on Feb - August 2024 when we are haemorrhaging both money & fans NOW. Have you seen the attendances at our last two home games (the real ones, not the Monty Python ones put out by the club). “Growing slowly” also implies that we will build around the small nucleus of decent players that we have. I’m not mad on either CBT or Dobson, but they are tall poppies in our patch of downtrodden weeds, and both are out of contract soon. Dobson has told fans that the club still hasn’t made him a contract offer yet . Why ? He is our skipper. He can leave for nothing. Again, this is down to Scott. It’s inconceivable IMO that Dobson , CBT and even Alfie May are going to want to stick around at a club bumming along in mid table L1 obscurity. What price “growing slowly” then ? |

I think I'm one of the few who backed Appleton at the start but I'm now seeing his weaknesses. Reams, you rightfully open a new thread each week about his tactical inept awareness but then back track after his post comments. If we can't get a win then Appleton is to blame, you can't throw a 2 lead away and not expect to be criticised. It's simply shit management and I guarantee he knows that he's slowly walking towards the edge.

We appointed Apples because he was cheap AS can say we wanted someone experienced,no doubt MA has that,but it's now looking like a cheap journeyman appointment. All those games managed and threw that lead away,the more I dwell on it its shambolic. |

What I have said is despite the shit show being down to him today, at least he acknowledges what we are lacking and seems very intent on getting it. Holden and co. would have just buried his head in the sand and said we need to put things right on the training pitch. I don't rate him and everyone knows that. |

The only thing Ipswich and Cambridge have in common is they are in neighnouring counties. In football terms they have been worlds apart during the last 15 months. We were the undergogs against Ipswich while arguably Cambridge were the underdogs against us.

What matters is that we are able to become competitive over 2024 for promotion to the Championship will make us far more attractive to fans, sponsors and even more debt! SE7 have announced an ambition to rejoin the top 30 clubs in the country. Hard to know what that might cost in transfers and losses nor how long it might take. But at least somebody with experience and access to deep pockets is giving it a go. 😉 |

We appointed Apples because he was cheap But they got rid of most of their academy to pay for the rebuild and even then they still failed to go up last season …. they not had number of takeovers in a few years they not had a club stripped of its assists .. we are starting at the bottom again under new owners .. from the staff in the ticket office , staff in reception, building the structure of the club , with the right people in the right roles football people , until the structure is correct if the pitch you can’t get success in it … look at Man U club like them structure is a shambles and it’s affecting the playing side |

It’s really not rocket science |
