This just infuriates me
'Decent sides' like Burton Albion, Bristol Rovers, Leyton Orient, Cambridge, Reading, Gillingham and Carlisle.

Such low standards and expectations. I get he won’t want to increase the pressure on the players but go too far and you’re making a mid table finish acceptable. It gives them the excuse not to push that bit harder because an average season is all that’s expected of them.
I honestly think the guy is deluded !! His openly saying that we need to lower our expectations. The recent performances and results are not acceptable for this club. Why should we listen to a proven no mark manager with such low levels of acceptability?
Sounds like we're in the cup against Premier League opposition the way he's talking about how we should be praised for constantly losing and looking terrible.

Couldn't be the way he spoke about Oxford on the Charlton TV interview. They've lost 3 of their last 6, got a load of injuries and he's making it sound like we'd achieved something just by being in the game.
You might be a lower league jobber but this club is bigger and better than that.
Get him gone. His personality is all over this squad. Give up mentality.
You cannot tell me there aren’t better candidates around. It’s just not true.
There are better candidates out there but can we persuade them to come or offer them the budget they would need to turn things around? Doubtful looking in from the outside currently. I reckon we’d be no better off. I really didn’t want Appleton and I think he is about as bland a manager you could hire but I really think we need to see the season out now. It’s not like we’re going to be doing a rebuild in this window, doubt we’ll even sign more than 2 or 3 permanently. I would see the season out and if it’s still mid-table rubbish then have someone lined up to take over as soon as the final whistle on the last game goes.
How is this in any way a "winning mentality"? Here's Scott's comments from when he brought in Appleton:
“It isn’t acceptable for this football club and it shouldn’t be acceptable at any football club. If we are going to achieve anything then a losing habit has got to stop. We have got to have the mentality that we’re going to win. Michael will bring that and we need to make sure the players understand."
And here Appleton is, talking like we should just be grateful to be 'in' games.
Pre game so don’t know how many made it but MA seems to have forgotten other clubs have injuries too.
He also suggested many of our injuries would be starters, but three of ours are CMs so there’s no way they’d all start when we know MA only plays 4-2-3-1. Isted is unlikely to start too, and if MA understands Chuks injury record he’d only be on the bench too.
A stronger bench no doubt helps a lot, but he’s exaggerating how many would start.
This is what our OS said:
The Addicks will be without Harry Isted (knee), Conor McGrandles (calf), Terry Taylor (ankle), Panutche Camará (hamstring), Chuks Aneke (hamstring) and Miles Leaburn (hamstring).
Billy Bodin and Josh Murphy could both return for the visitors, though Sam Long (ankle), Stephan Negru (hamstring), Greg Leigh (calf), Kyle Edwards (hamstring) and Marcus Browne (hamstring) are all sidelined.

heres sone perspective.
JUST GO, YOU NUMPTY
Rule number one Appleton, when in a hole stop digging.
This just infuriates me
Using the phrase "if we can" when talking about improving the squad by bringing in new players.
Loser mentality.

He's been shafted and calling SE7 to sack him. My opinion only.
