Gonna keep this brief. Charlton arrived in Staffordshire with all six new signings in the squad and hope that another new dawn might see us finally heading in the right direction. Charlton dominated possession for the first twenty five minutes, carving out some decent half chances and limiting Burton to largely chasing shadows. But Burton were resolute and scored the opener through classic route one football. Charlton continued in the way they had started, by shaking off the sucker blow and building back up.
Unfortunately, two minutes into the second half and Burton struck again. That was enough to see out the win for the home side, as Charlton failed to find a footing and too easily folded. You can argue about potential penalties and a Burton keeper in fine form. The second half was poor and the season-long defensive frailties proved costly.
New players, same old result. Appleton’s surely on shakey ground, having conceded twelve goals through this poor run of form, but pronouncements of support (and the quick trigger early in the season) have perhaps boxed the senior management team in to giving more time. It’s plain to see though, Appleton hasn’t had any effect on stemming the damage as we get pulled further and further towards an unthinkable relegation.

Makes no difference who we sign with this clown in charge.
Get rid now and give the new bloke a chance to see what's needed in the summer
Bleak.
Honestly you just have to laugh now. I’m at a point where I can’t be arsed to analyse that, even if I did I wouldn’t know what to say. All I have are daft theories, example being that I’m convinced if we signed an XI made up of premier league players we’d still lose to teams in the bottom half of league one.
I mean seriously we must be a lot better than burton and other teams of that positions man for man? Andy Scott was bang on, there’s a real loser mentality at this club, only trouble is it appears he’s contributing to it.
Now they realise that Scott and Appleton meant from League Two
Appleton waited too long second half to change it.
Dobson is not an 8.
We have lost our main attacking wing threat.
All very depressing.
Jesus. When will this shit stop?
We are really in a relegation fight and can only hope the bottom 4 keep losing.
Appleton must go tonight without any doubt.
His post-match comments will be interesting. Let's see if he acknowledges the scale of the problems and offers ideas for resolving them. They can't be ignored.
The players can't be arsed when it seems clear to me the manager can't be arsed either.
