I don't agree. The vast majority were dismayed about Appleton. I thought it was a poor appointment not because he left us first time, but because I couldn't see what he had to offer us, and had had a difficult previous season at Lincoln where he was being treated for cancer and left by mutual consent. It was a bad time to appoint him.
There is some anti Critchley feeling now which is not ideal but he's a far strnger candidate, the majority will get behind him knowing this, and the rest will follow if he gets results, which is much more likely than it was with Appleton. Better coach, a league lower.
