Learning to read clusters is not something your eyes do naturally. It takes constant practice.

Agreed, the players are giving their all but the performances are dire Micheal.

The style of play is closer to Critchley's style from last season rather than any direction or identty coached into the players by Appleton.

It's like the team is vaguely trying to remember how to play on "Critchley autopilot".

Michael Appleton isn’t concerned about having more than five loan players on the books - here’s why - The wages of the 6th and 7th loan players aren't coming out of his wallet.

Even with some dig signings Appleton will have difficulty turning this round now.

I think his cancer illness and treatment took a lot out of him.

He may look OK physically but I reckon that more spiritually / his motivation / lust for life has taken a big knock.

Sadly, his record proves he's out of his depth at this level

That's what we, certainly I, thought when Appleton was appointed.

I didn't have a problem with his past PNE links and him quitting as our manager before. For a manager with his experience there was nowhere near enough on his CV to warrant offering him the job.

Also, another thing that sent the alarm bells ringing with Critchley leaving for a coaching role, I was surprised to find out Appleton had done the same. Leaving as manager of Oxford to coach at Leicester.

In the end Appleton simply wasn't good enough.

The teams he sent out were so poorly organised and set up,

Has there been a worse manager?

P.S.

The only recent coherent performance and win came in the cup against Forest. Funnily enough, Appleton was away for a few days to deal with personal problems and the coach, Kerslake, was in charge.

You can get away with playing your top scorer as a wing back in L1.

Appleton didn't realise he couldn't get away with it in the championship.

He wasn't good enough. Fine margins and all that. Not able to adjust.
