That starting line up was just nonsense leaving out Watson again for c Campbell other than that Appleton has tried nearly all of his inherited squad who we know are below average (table doesn’t lie folks/players).
Let’s see how he gets on with the new players playing.

Maybe he is a "Player's coach" - popular at the training ground but he is hopeless as a 'Manager' before, during and even after match days. Probably popular with players because he is a push over. |

Someone has dredged up Andy Scott’s now infamous “Appleton is good on the grass” quote when he was appointed. It makes our lack of organisation and shape under MA, as well as the dire results, even more inexplicable. I get that Appleton is a poor media performer & other clubs fans warned us that he makes no efforts to build a rapport with a fanbase, but what exactly is he good at ? |

He’s done it equalled the record set at Blackpool when he was sacked, 10 games without a win. Well done.

I have no idea if he is good at anything. I have tried - in vain - to find some logic in the decision to hire him in the first place. I wrongly assumed it was to 'Shake things up" and kick some well deserving backsides, at least. As has been said, he's that bad, it's almost like he is doing it on purpose. |

Just on his stats alone , Appleton deserves the sack.
This is taken from Stuart Court / Shirty’s excellent Twitter acc -
Wins : games in charge
Adkins 30% 7/23
Jackson 47% 16/34
Garner 25% 5/20
Holden 40% 12/30
Appleton 25% 5/20

So he needs to win seven in the next ten to match Holden his predecessor. #notgonnahappen

You know things must be bad when even seriouslyred is calling for a manager to be bolted. All the vibes from Sparrows Lane are that Appleton is safe for this season. I believe Charlie Methven’s spokesman dubaicafc has confirmed this too. |

I've come to terms with the fact that, despite my desire to see him leave and be replaced, he'll likely remain here until at least October. It's just a hunch of mine, that's providing he keeps us up this year!

It's just a hunch of mine, that's providing he keeps us up this year! The way this club operates you could be right, if so, Appleton will have two windows to bring in his own players but will still fail, get sacked, new manager comes in starts ok, then fails, the optimists say it is because he has inherited the squad and they aren't his players and needs two or three windows and we can't keep changing managers. So how about we get rid of Appleton now before he does anymore damage get in a manager who has been successful (of course he might cost a bit but would be cheaper in the long run) and try to put a stop to this constant merry-go-round of cheap options. |

I would imagine that it is much easier to get in a decent manager in the summer - especially if he is, currently, employed. If Scott is doing the recruitment I don't suppose it makes a lot of difference who the manager is at this point. For all we know we might already be having, very quiet, words with the new manager who will lead us next season. This new manager could, even, be being consulted on the players we sign this month. |

Get this joke out of our club now. We cannot afford to wait any longer. It’s crystal clear that the players are not playing for him.

I think it's coming to ahead now.
The board have a serious decision to make because I can tell you now AMERICANS do not do FAILURE!
Appleton needs to be dismissed this week. He is failing as a manager. If he isn't that tells me that the board are failing too in terms of not identifying his complete lack of ability.
The Americans will be all over this and I expect change soon.

As good as gone ain’t he. This lot ain’t messing about and this weirdo ain’t up to it. The players that have been brought in would be an asset to any manager so….. who’s next???

Sick and tired of this talentless jorneyman of a manager. He was never our first chocie anyway so time to bin him off. We are going backwards under him in terms of quality on the pitch. Unbeaten runs mean nothing when you are drawing at home to the likes of Cambridge and Burton. We might have a few injuries but that doesn't excuse playing players who are out of position. The season is over in terms of the play-offs. Pointless bringing in new players now...save it for a new manager. Who is going to want to come in and play for one of the also rans in front of 8000 fans? Burton are managerless, one point from a possible 21 before today. A totally unacceptable performance and that goon of a manager is 100% responsible there for it. Stands there hands in pockets for 90 minutes. No passion from the guy. |

SE7 have shown intent through available funds,but MA's record is there for all to see. |

I trust Scott not to half arse the next appointment because his position will be under threat if he tries to pass off another Clogger as the man to drive SE7's grand plan. |
