First good bit of business was sacking Kirk, second would be sacking Appleton and picking the man for the job next season
His record is nowhere near bad enough to warrant the sack. We’ve lost just two of our last 16 league games since Appleton took over.
It’s massively frustrating that we keep throwing away leads and ending up with draws but I can’t see Scott sacking a guy who has delivered two 7 game unbeaten runs in his first 16 games.
Also not convinced another change of manager will make a difference. We’ve tried that many times and it hasn’t worked….we keep ending up in mid table.
We need better players to join in Jan. Simple as that.

23 points from 15 isn’t that impressive. Especially when you look at who we’ve actually beaten, other than Wigan it is just home wins against teams at the bottom and we can’t even do that any more
We definitely need better players, that’s obvious. Maybe with better players Appleton will turn draws into wins, we shall see

Michael Duff is available, Ryan Lowe could be available soon. So many better managers available but we will probably waste a year on Appleton and still be here next year
Naby we are finally reading from the same script, let the negativity embrace you, this bloke is pants.

10 draws mate in around 20 games managed, blokes never achieved at this level.
Losing a play off final doesn't cut it for me. Jack Ross did that for Sunderland and he was pants

Just like Holden was pants and Garner before him? With this logic the next manager will be pants too.

Holden was pants, Jacko wasn't ready, Adkins is a dinosaur, Garner is a system merchant etc.
I'm sorry but he's not a good manager, just go and look at his record. Done something about 9 years ago in league 2, that's it.

Who you advocating for? Championship managers who aren't doing very well?
I’m in agreement that MA isn’t a great manager nor is he one to be a long term success but sadly being now an average L1 side who can we get in. Even maybe a slightly better up and coming manager or steady Eddie ain’t gonna get us out the league with this current team/squad. Tell me now would Pep get us out this league. Unless given some money and transfer windows then no chance he does. So the bigger issue for me isn’t MA it’s the squad. The lack of depth, competition, bite, nastiness, desire. We have no more than 5/6 players I’d want to keep others may have there moments n look pretty on the eye at times but off f all over a long term period to see games out

Well said. I'm not an Appleton fan and was against his appointment from day 1, but what's the point in sacking him.
he has stopped the rot, we aren't losing although annoyingly throwing away leads. He deserves a couple of transfer windows to show what he can do with players that he signed

Talking to a pal yesterday at the game, whose been doing some work with the club the last few weeks, couple of very well known club employees told him money is being spent in January and the owners are determined to give it a push for the play offs. Dont shoot the messenger

To be honest I don't know who you expect would take the managers job if it was offered. We are mid table league one..

But laughable to suggest it's bad enough to warrant sacking him now given our position when he arrived!
I can't say I have great faith he'll lead us out of the wilderness of L1 and into the Championship , but he needs more time and, whilst we're not losing regularly with our inexperienced squad, I expect he'll get it. That said, I somehow doubt he'll still be in the man at the helm a year from now, but if he is, it will be because much will have improved playing squad wise and we'll be genuine promotion contenders.

IIRC, his issue with Lincoln as well was that he drew too many games
The last few games where we have thrown points away are completely demoralising that can't be argued with. However, as I've said before, if we sack MA, who do those people calling for his head expect to come in? We are a mid-table League One club that, recenltly, seem to sack managers every 6 months! Hardly going to have a queue of top quality managers lining up are we! Let's give MA this transfer window to get his type of player in, if it works then happy days, if it doesn't then he'll be gone, but changing again now is the wrong move. Let's see, after all the talk from Scott, whether the Owners splash the cash, no one on here, or in our fanbase knows what's going to happen until January comes, we have those saying they won't, others saying they've heard they will, as for me I don't know, but we only have 10 days to wait! However MA needs to get some backbone into what we currently have and get 3 wins, starting at Orient on Boxing Day!

We didn’t throw points away v Cambridge that was the ref not our players

Are you having a laugh? Marking from the corner non-existent, we should've scored more than 2 and didn't, but at the end we were hanging on!! FFS

Just seems bizarre that we didn’t use this in the summer if the money is there? Now it’s too late

Agree with this, as I think mendez said on Charlton live, the owners knew they would be in charge so why was there no plan in place for transfers in the summer.

I expect we’ll get another unknown like Garner or Holden next, such is the pattern
