Our ex announcer is not holding back on twitter saying Applegarth is a good man and a good coach who didn't sign this squad, my thoughts are these. Applegarth may be a very good man but it can't be said he's a good coach at this level. Why did he take this job if he had no input in signing the players and if he didn't who did and who recommended them. Did he actually coach the team and was he told to pick players. I hope the lad gets a job as an assistant somewhere, learns and comes back a better coach in the game. The whole situation this season as been one of disbelief, lose game after game leave him in the job, its as though no one cares.
I've read off numerous fans we'd a decent squad on paper, we'd an ageing squad who'd done well in the past for us and other clubs but your not going to get 34/35 year olds playing consistently well every week and they pick knocks up. We let Miller, batch, hall to an extent, crowther, dave, arona leave and not replace with better, it's been a slippery slope from when we resigned Brough from Huddersfield, his legs had totally gone and he'd been a great player, gigot, gaskell it goes on. Did Applegarth improve anyone this season well its hard to see. If it's aimed at the board phils comments then it's shameful interference
