BehaveGarbage. Appleton out.
Another Appleton masterclassDepressing but not surprising, if we needed a reminder why we are miles off Championship level, this was it. Appleton, 433 and this squad just aren't up to it. Mansford happy to sort a 4 year deal for a failed manager but can't do the business with players. How will the bonehead dress this one up?
It’s getting worrying now.I've said it once I will say it again, we have no forwards who score goals.
Read the thread lolHave just listened to Lee Charles TV and I thought we won 5-3 on pens - BBC say we lost 4-3 on pens .....which is right please ?
Won 5-3 on pens you should have seen what happened as wellHave just listened to Lee Charles TV and I thought we won 5-3 on pens - BBC say we lost 4-3 on pens .....which is right please ?
At least we got rid of the turgid football.Well we had Dougall in defensive midfield and the Connolly for the last 20, that went well. Lavery & CJ aren't players who will be here by the end of the month.
My nagging worry is that with Quitch going, Appleton taking over, Keogh suddenly wanting to leave, Madine arguing with him at Stoke and lots of upheaval and a manager who is going to be the polar opposite to Quitchley are the squad an unhappy bunch? If so, we're fucked.
Yeah, I am. Going to be scorching on Saturday. Choice is between laying out £30 on a ticket to watch what sounds like a poor team or sitting in a beer garden in the sun.You are not being serious?
Not the end of the world. Out of the last 12 attempts (since the year in the prem) we have been knocked out at round 1 in 8 out of 12 seasons. Glad I did not go to the game, roll on Saturday.
It was a good runout for the lads, I learned a lot, we move on to the game on Saturday with a lot of positive’s & put this result behind us, it’s a shit competition anyway,the main aim for this season was to win the league & we’re on course with an average of 1.5 points a game, Rome wasn’t built in a day, bodies to come in which the players will be very excited about, good luck to barrow they were always going to be a difficult team to beat with the formation they play & 7 international players albeit from the Faroe IslandsDepressing but not surprising, if we needed a reminder why we are miles off Championship level, this was it.

Barrow
We’re they ever on it.Wheels come off the Apple cart ?

Mansford hasn't got around to actually buying him wheels for his cart yet!Wheels come off the Apple cart ?
Did you go?Stoke, Hull, Luton and Reading also lost to L2 opposition. We played a strong defence and midfield but a weird forward line. Consequently gave away few chances and made loads but couldn't finish. On paper at least.
We need a new striker and Bowler up front, or a good Bowler replacement.
Lots of wet knickers again tonight. Where's the resolve folks? Chins up! 3 games. Back the team and demonstrate we have the best fans, not the worst.

Couple of goal scorers in the goals again tonight Brannagan and Bishop we should make a move for.Stoke, Hull, Luton and Reading also lost to L2 opposition.

No i didnt tonight but it makes zero difference to what i said. There's plenty on here and Twitter who didnt go giving out out like spoilt kids. Again.Did you go?
Typical childish shit from you.Couple of goal scorers in the goals again tonight Brannagan and Bishop we should make a move for.
Oh hang on a minute…………….

Just thank feck I didn’t go just knew it would be a Banana skin.Typical childish shit from you.
I can imagine it was terrible. But we did have 65% possession and 16 shots to their 3. So hardly got a battering. We had a totally new mid field and a bizarre forward line. It takes time ffs. It's sodding groundhog day all over again. The people who behave the same over and over again.No doubt you didnt go again tonight so its difficult for you to comprehend how poor that was
% possession means bugger all, it’s what we do with it that counts. 16 shots would be alright if 1or 2 went in, they didn’t. If we had 16 shots and didn’t score and the opponent had 1 shot and scored who won?65% possession and 16 shots
Was it really that bad?

Oh no! We only used 4 subs!Also why did we only use 4 subs when it clearly wasnt working?...potentially 4 years of this dynamic attacking football...he will be lucky to last 4 months based on that showing and the Stoke debacle...I think he should be given a fair chance but 4 year contract was overkill and he needs to improve things quickly as its more how poor the performances are than the actual results.

I couldn't work out (again!!) why Jerry didn't get a look in.Also why did we only use 4 subs when it clearly wasnt working?...potentially 4 years of this dynamic attacking football...he will be lucky to last 4 months based on that showing and the Stoke debacle...I think he should be given a fair chance but 4 year contract was overkill and he needs to improve things quickly as its more how poor the performances are than the actual results.
You had to be there to appreciate how strange it was to give CJ 90 minsOh no! We only used 4 subs!
APPLETON OUT!
Not Critch to tolerate though eh?He said the players picked tonight had a chance to play themselves into the team on Saturday, I wonder who managed it. It looks to me like Appleton isn’t that enamoured with many of the squad he’s inherited and he may want to get rid of quite a few, he will have to keep some but they will know they’re not in his plans. He’s going to sign about 5 or 6 players at this rate. Like I say it’s the unrest in the dressing room that worries me, if they start to get unhappy it will turn sour very quickly.
But, give it 10 league games and see where we are, it’s too early to be yelling at he manager, he has his style and vision he just needs to make sure he has the players to play it and for it to work.
