To be fair we have won 2 out of 3 matches.Ha, we won one match! If we win three people will vote him a contract for life.
Something feels a bit strange about this website. There’s one story on the site, which is about Des Buckingham. The content seems AI generated. The domain was registered yesterday. Full of reasons to back the manager and why he needs more time, shared by the yellow army Twitter account.An interesting read:

How's his record stacking up against Appleton's?
Irrelevant. What have respective starting positions got to do with it?No idea. Appleton didn’t take over a team in second so you’re not comparing apples with apples. It’s ridiculous when people say their records are similar - if indeed they are. From their respective starting positions, I’d expect Des’s record to be massively better than Appletons.

I'd expect Des record to be better, if he had the same personnel available to him that Manning had available to him in his brief tenure at the start of the season.
But we all know he didn't.
I'd also expect Des record to be significantly better if he'd had the back end of a previous season, a whole transfer window and pre-season AND had the backroom staff of choice available to him throughout that time.
But we all know he didn't.
And we're still 6th, a point clear, and nobody with games in hand within touching distance
Anyway, to answer my own question:
Buckingham: P27 W9 D7 L11
Appleton (first 27 games in charge): P27 W8 D9 L10
A winning team that was paper thin, showed it's obvious frailties in numerous games including the less than impressive start to the season, and subsequent injuries showed it STILL needed a rebuild, to be precise.Of course it isn’t irrelevant. Appleton took over a team in need of a major rebuild. Des took over one that was largely a winning one.
No. Frustration and disappointment but absolutely no relief.Anyone else feeling a weird sense of relief now Lincoln have leap frogged us?

We have some fans who appear to have down tooled long before our players allegedly did. Even now, with Lincoln still to play at home, I'd have us as slight favourites still to make 6th.
That doesn't take anything away from today which was definitely 2 points dropped, but I'd hope that serves as yet another kick up the ass for everyone.
