Mark Applegarth is in a position where if he resigns he will have no income.He was given the job and has given it his best shot, but under him we are a complete shambles.Time for the management,whoever they are,to put the lad out of his misery.

You would think MC would do the decent thing and sack him but like he did for Chester pay him off out of his own pocket. I doubt it would be anywhere near the same amount of money.

There is literally nothing left for the season, apart from the "social" as a ao called SL side, we're completely done.
RIP Trinity.

Slugs, Sloth, whichever. A team filled with dross and seemingly coached to underperform.
Never seen such useless lumps in a Wakey shirt at this level.
Lineham and Taufua, pathetic.
Hood a shambles. Battye past sell by date. Ashurst looks a sad figure. Crowther way out of form, Hewitt, what’s the point, Etc etc etc
An unfit DF looked light years ahead with enthusiasm alone. Created a platform to work from which transformed into implosion. Bloody awful spectacle.

He keeps saying in interviews that the players aren't listening to him.

Is he under the impression that somehow makes him look less inept?

I'm actually a fairly decent coach, it's just that the payers don't listen to me or do any of the things I tell them to do.

That's a shocking admission.

So I'm not a coach, but what does he say on Monday to make these players better?

Hey Tom. I've hadca thought. When you are over the line. Maybe try and put the ball down without letting go?
Hey Hoodie, when you have a 4 on 3 on your left, andvthey are short a player, how about we practise passing that way instead of where we are over matched?

Max, you think it's worth running in a straight line instead of running across so you close all the space fir the players outside.

Apart from Fifita and Pitts, I'm not sure who I could say had even an average game.
Dagger I thought was OK but he needed to run more to use his skills.

He could tell some to go home or retire. Or even tell them they are crap and won’t be playing again. Maybe honesty and realism would be a start.

You like to ask questions so can you tell me in what way he has improved our performances this season that would suggest he deserves longer.

I didn't say he does deserve longer.
I said the job of a rebuild is different to a job to improve this team.
