Cos we are now in relegation and have played well in the first half at QPR and against Coventry and that’s about it. Preston were the better side until Patino scored.
You can blame injuries all you want but we have actually been shite a lot this season. Absolutely Appleton has been let down by the club in terms of backing him as some of the summer recruits look really poor, what is concerning bar Jerry and maybe Connolly nobody is really having a good season if we are being honest and Dougall until recently was terrible and don’t even get me started on Marvin.
Why does he leave it so late to change things if at all? There is a clear lack of discipline which suggests to me an unhappy camp.
But then I go back to the point of would someone else do much better with this current squad and I’m not entirely sure.
I’ve been calm about our chances all season but I am seriously worried about relegation now.
Yeah as said on another thread, a poor choice who lots of fans never warmed to was a silly move, always going to get less time, then things go badly. He wasn't properly backed either.
Really tough hand but we've also had enough to do better, look weak defensively aren't putting in many good performances, getting loads sent off and booked, silly mistakes.
We're in a shit position now...
Stick with him and fans aren't really with him, to survive we probably need fans onside.
If we do stick with, we are in the hope that it'll turn round, it might it might not, in the hope that players returning help, which they might return they might not knowing our bad luck.
If we get rid he hasn't really been backed, had a horrible injury crisis with illness recently clearly contributing, but despite that we still had enough to do better.
But who do we then bring in, they will have to learn players again etc.
Will they be backed in Jan? It's not a time to do good business. Also will they be supported by the fans if we continue to do badly, they would have had more support if appointed when Appleton was, but we're now in a bad moment and patience is now low.
So not really a good time to be learning about players etc.
On the other hand wee might turn it round or a new man might make a difference who knows.
Not a great position to be in and a really poor way to build on last seasons success.
