There was not a plan for the first few months.At least under Mapps, you could see there was a plan on how he wanted to play. Despite the early set backs.
There was not a plan for the first few months.
I am not sure that anybody would have said that there was a plan when we lost 4 0 at Cambridge, or when everybody on here was worried about relegation to the Conference ( and something like 80% on here wanted him sacked). I can't recall anybody suggesting ' at least we can see a plan'!!
Get over yourself. If you have an argument then make it, but expect others with differing views to argue back. You aren't being "shot down"The problem on this forum, is that so many people wanted Buckingham, that anyone that challenges him being here. Is immediately shot down.
What he (Appleton) tried to do was get players in league two to play like Arsenal in their pomp, once he learned that wasn't going to work, after the Cambridge hammering, he changed tack. Give Des time, he may not have the league one experience you crave but on the other hand with someone with no experience of league one, as you put it, he's doing alright. If this is Des with no league one experience then I'm looking forward to the day he gets that experience. Your last point I tend to agree with, in which case we may as well stick with Des and let him build for when 'the powers that be' are ready to go up.You could see what he was trying to do, and he got lumps of abuse from all three sides of the ground. Even whilst he stood there looking lost on the touch line. He took it like a man, and slowly managed to get things running. The rest is history.

I still think the job needed someone with EFL experience. Des for me isn’t the man to deliver the goods. For me the appointment was made, because the powers that be don’t want us to go up just yet. I think they would rather see us go up with a shiny new stadium.
I could have sworn we scored at Cambridge... HiltonThere was not a plan for the first few months.

From what I remember, Hilton got the first goal of this televised game. We then conceded five goals, much to the amusement of my "so called" friends at the Shaldon club where I was watching the game. Following this mauling, Mapp said he knew what needed changing to the squad and brought in the players needed!I could have sworn we scored at Cambridge... Hilton

Des has no EFL experience whatsoever. And he has previously managed a team at pub level standard.What he (Appleton) tried to do was get players in league two to play like Arsenal in their pomp, once he learned that wasn't going to work, after the Cambridge hammering, he changed tack. Give Des time, he may not have the league one experience you crave but on the other hand with someone with no experience of league one, as you put it, he's doing alright.

Wilder already losing the plot at Sheffield - apparently the fact that an assistant ref ate a sandwich in his presence is a sign of the disrespect referees have for Sheffield and leads to decisions against them...
They’ll be cock-a-hoop, no doubt.Nathan Jones announced as Charlton manager, interesting appoinment
Could be a good appointment.Nathan Jones announced as Charlton manager, interesting appoinment
Was chatting with a friend who is an ITFC ST holder a while back about the possibility of him coming to OUFC. He was distinctly unimpressed with Ladapo, words to the effect that he wasn't interested. Of course, a new club can mean a fresh start, clean slate, etc, but it did sound as though there was a bit of an attitude issue, for whatever reason.They’ll be cock-a-hoop, no doubt.
He’s only been a success at Luton, though. Let’s hope he continues his barren streak.
Slightly off topic, but I had a gander at one of the Charlton forums and it was quite funny to see how unimpressed so many of them are with Ladapo. And there was me thinking he was the answer to all our prayers, after all, the experts on here said he would be.
