    I suppose getting thrashed by arsenal is better than getting thrashed by Burton

    17th. We’re dropping like a stone. Still, only 7 places below last season - it’s not too bad and looking at the stats on the BBC I’d guess our XGf and XGa are really good today.

    Let’s see where we are at the end of February.

    Would be two places lower if Wycombe drew their postponed game.
    SeriouslyRidiculous is a tool who is an eloquent wum who I think probably believes some of this s*** now.

    We will be in the bottom 4 by the end of February. I don’t think we’ll go down, but it’s just embarrassing.

    If we do we'll fold. Appleton would have been sacked and we'll be praying a new manager does the trick.
    These three clowns are like a beaten boxer throwing haymakers, hoping a signing works.

    Is Apples the man you want in charge of a relegation battle? Absolutely not, and that's where we are. Trouble is, would anyone trust the 3 wise monkeys to pick someone better? Absolutely not

    They are desperate. Obviously someone has finally realised that if you don’t spend significant money you don’t succeed, but it’s all now panic, panic, panic.

    The investors need to step in and change strategy.

    As useless as he appears, is it really the managers fault ? Surely we’ve sacked so many now that it must be obvious that the problem doesn’t start with the manager.

    Curtis Fleming coming in is significant. He'll either take over or Nigel Pearson will be top dog with Fleming his assistant, as was the case at Bristol City.

    Agreed, BUT it will be inevitable Appleton gets the chop if we have a s*** February.
    Personally, I think if we lose on Tuesday they could get rid of him.

    No, but Apples is a very uninspiring sight standing in the box, hands in pockets, saying nothing, not responding to events on the pitch. The only argument I hear in his defence is "we can't keep on sacking managers ". He's certainly not an upgrade on Holden

    I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt the likes of Pearson or Rowett would drop to our lowly level. Nah, Apples will get the bullet by Monday morning, to be replaced by yet another no-mark.

    Personally, I'd get the manager of Corinthian Casuals. Or that wacky dude who has just been suspended by Tanzania.

    I know I sound like an “apologist” but please give the new fella’s a chance to gel - I didn’t expect to lose this one I thought a draw at least but the stats do show we dominated and hopefully the results will come :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Our defence is the problem, so maybe it would help the new players to gel if they actually played. Just a thought. Which obviously Appleton didn’t have.

    Do you remember when we knocked Chelsea out of the League Cup and Mourinho said it didn't count as a defeat because it was on penalties?

    Prize pranny.
