He absolutely HAS been lucky - we keep starting very slow and insipid before turning it up and that just can't keep happening forever, that bubble WILL burst.ForeverAddickted said:
Maybe its just a bit of luck for him at the moment, but his Game Management, and use of subs appears to be outstandingthenewbie said:
I'm actually a bit smug. Wasn't exactly pro Appleton (and certainly didn't expect THIS kind of form) but did think some of the criticism was overboard... which it was.cafckev said:It’s very hard for me, but I must feel I need to eat some humble pie regarding MA. He’s turned us around into a scoring machine since his arrival at the club
But the old cliche "you make your own luck" also applies and he is the first manager we've had in years whose response to pressure is to fight fire with fire and not double down on trying to hold out defensively instead.

Didn't want to sound a c*** but reading it back I do. I just didn't really understand why people would want to know about that non entity.ross1 said:

Don't know who played it but that was a killer through ball for Miles, just enough curl on it to get round the left-side defender and into Leaburn's path.0

I think that's my feeling on Appleton too, we're getting results because we have good players and not necessarily because we have a great system. I still think he needs to get us playing better from the start.thenewbie said:

But, our good players are playing well, and that's both to his credit and more than could be said for the first five matches.0 -
Up to 10th.
First time we’ve been top half since the opening day of the season I believe.2 -

Desperately want one more goal because @natashaeveritt7 said she'd do 5 x tequila shots if we won 5-0 in the @charltonlive group chat this morning6

CBT with a hatrick of assists.
That doesn't happen every game.6 -
