Blokes a plonker! I get he was getting stick (deservedly so) but you can’t react to it from your own fans. Just shows how far we have fallen with this wally in charge of us! Not sure what scares me more, keeping him or replacing him as if we do it will be another journeyman no hoper coming in.
Is this really true? I was gone on the final whistle, but maybe it was Appleton finally realising the fans exist, well exist as more than mere ballast in the bullshit regime algorithm. Seriously, if Appleton did sarcastically cup the ear at our fans he should go. The match, Appleton, did not stand alone as a one off, but the latest in your run of games, . The famous Lyon plan acknowledged that the fans are usually right, I think Appleton dismisses the fans on the basis that he is working in football and we're not. But as the famous saying goes, you don't have to be able to play the violin yourself to know when it's being played out of tune. The only way back for Appleton is to win all of our remaining games.
From the minute he arrived, I’ve never known a manager to make such little effort to try to form a connection with the fans, or immerse himself into being a part of ‘the club’.
It might not be a big thing, but I’m fairly sure a bit more leeway would have been given at the start of this poor run if he’d made a little effort to connect with the supporters.
If he’s now sarcastically cupping ears to fans, then I’ve no idea what positive he reckon he could get from that.
Holden brought a lot of credit with the working class man of the people, Appleton has gone the polar opposite and not even tried, and he’s blown the goodwill now
I think Appleton might be in the Len Shackleton school of footballers. When Shackleton wrote his book, the chapter entitled 'The Average Directors Knowledge of Football' which was a blank page. I believe Appleton has that mindset, certainly about us the fans.
There were only a few players who came round for the fans who stayed to clap them off. Dobbo, Hector, I think T Watson, only about 5 or 6. Appleton did not come via the cirbishley stand and if he had he would have been booed all the way off the pitch.

Strange bloke.
What does he hope to accomplish with that?
Same old tactics, we are so predictable.
A little passion on the touchline wouldn’t go amiss, but no stands there like a fish out of water.
Get rid now before it’s to late.

What a prick
Surprised he's so arrogant considering how little he actually wins.
I just want him gone, he's stinking the place out.
He done the same thing to Blackpool fans when we equalised earlier this season so he has form.
