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.

Fortunately 3 of our relegation rivals lost as well2

So so bad haha1

All the optimism over our new signings blown away after 90 odd minutes.
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 summer29 -
Connor Coventry must be wishing he got his parents a Ring Doorbell for Christmas.
Bleak.75 -

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.

Bleak.1 -
No new players in the starting back 6. What did he expect. Get him out!!9
-
When do playoff tickets go on sale?9
-
New players convinced to join our promotion push for next season.
Now they realise that Scott and Appleton meant from League Two9 -
The defensive errors have to stop or we will get relegated, simple.
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.0 -
Get Gary Rowett in, or anyone that isn’t called Michael Appleton. No win in 11 is criminal.6
-
No wins in ages. No clean sheets in even longer. Losing to Burton Fcuking Albion.
Jesus. When will this shit stop?28 -
Enough is enough. Appleton needs to fuck off!!2

That was truely truely awful.
We are really in a relegation fight and can only hope the bottom 4 keep losing.
Appleton must go tonight without any doubt.10 -
Unless we win on Tuesday then I feel there is no option but to sack Appleton. It's clear most supporters have lost faith and no wins in 10 matches is not a hiccup and will take a lot of turning around. We are, like it or not, already involved in a relegation scrap and the next three games, which are all tough, could end up with us dragged into the bottom four. I know the board have backed Appleton in the transfer window but I am seriously doubting if he has the skills needed.
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.1 -
Scott has committed to sacking Appleton if my opening post gets over 500 likes.26
-
Appleton and whoever coaches the defence out otherwise we're in a relegation battle and this team looks leaderless and devoid of the ability to fight to stay up.0
-
I’ve not been calling for Appleton’s head as can’t be arsed with merry go round but he has to go after today. There is no connection with fans and it’s going to become toxic whilst he is here.5
-
Sack him now. He can go back to Manchester in 90 minutes from Burton compared with 4 hrs if we sack him tomorrow at the training ground15
-
To not even get a result with 6 new signings is really poor2
-
No urgency at all was the biggest thing for me.
The players can't be arsed when it seems clear to me the manager can't be arsed either.

At work just got in from plant ops about 5 mins ago. Was dead quite in the room and i knew we got gubbed. Couldn't believe it when i saw the score. 16th now and 7 points behind the likes of Northampton. We are just plain awful.0
