Louis MendezHOST
I was thinking Nigel Adkins' game against Aquinton Stanley.
Louis MendezHOST
I was thinking Michael Appleton's game against Northampton Town.
Louis MendezHOST
I think it was going to get a bit like that, but it never got...
Louis MendezHOST
Never got really toxic and nasty.
Rich CawleyGUEST
No, that is probably where they would be.
Rich CawleyGUEST
In the past, I was told one of the attractions when they went for Nathan initially to replace Michael Appleton was his reputation that when he was at Luton, he was a budget buster.
Rich CawleyGUEST
You know, he would always have Luton finishing well above where they should be.
Rich CawleyGUEST
And so far, Nathan did that last season because I think they would have been in the bottom three or four budget-wise.
Rich CawleyGUEST
And so the managers that have won promotions in recent times has been Chris Powell winning the League One title, Lee Bowyer via the playoffs and Nathan via the playoffs.
Rich CawleyGUEST
So as you say, before that, there's been a number of people that have gone in there.
Rich CawleyGUEST
Michael Appleton, the fans never really took to him that quickly.
Rich CawleyGUEST
You can run through them all, all the different managers that have been there.
Rich CawleyGUEST
I mean, the first thing I would say with Nathan Jones is when you look at his first couple of seasons or when you look at the job he's done at Charlton, he has effectively ticked the box of what was required.
Rich CawleyGUEST
So he replaced Michael Appleton in his first season, second half of the season in League One.
Rich CawleyGUEST
And at that stage, Charlton were... looking like they were sliding nearer to a relegation battle than anything else.
Rich CawleyGUEST
And it was all about keeping the team up.
MartinHOST
We've never recovered from it.
MartinHOST
Then we sign Michael Appleton, who's as far away from Crixley as he could probably get.
MartinHOST
I think that then Crixley comes back and that doesn't work.
MartinHOST
Then we go for a dinosaur.
MitchPANELIST
I get that people want Everett to succeed because he was a player for us.
MitchPANELIST
But can you imagine if we'd have lost 4-1 at home to Mansfield and in the dugout, I mean, Michael Appleton, the ground would have been on bloody fire.
MitchPANELIST
You know, he'd have been hung from the floodlights.
MitchPANELIST
And I think there's a lot of sentiment going on in terms of Everett.
JakeHOST
He just, he looks like one in the way that he presses.
JakeHOST
I think his technical ability, I think we've always, you know, seen that technical ability right from his very first days when he came in and played central midfield under Michael Appleton.
JakeHOST
And just, I mean, the way he took his goal was very good.
JakeHOST
The crossing for Mikel's second was fantastic.
Jamie RooneyHOST
Manager of the Month for January.
Graham DunnHOST
I mean, we say this, it then became something that despite Michael Appleton's great side, despite Chris Wilder and various good years under Carl Robinson, where we got really close to going up in the playoffs, we didn't win that award again until Liam Manning a couple of years ago.
Graham DunnHOST
So I think it's 17 years in between us winning it.
Graham DunnHOST
So people may mock the January big manager of the month award, but in our terms, it's pretty big.
Ryan FairheadPANELIST
it is a case that they could be balancing with their status.
Ryan FairheadPANELIST
And just looking at some of the names that are out there that are potentially available, you've got Stuart Maynard, Carl Robinson, Michael Flynn, Michael Appleton.
Ryan FairheadPANELIST
There are some sort of names out there that are League Two names that could perform well, but you look at where they are, you look at how they're performing, it's then a case of are any of their names going to want to come in Is anyone going to want to take over Crawley? It's looking a bit doom and gloom for them at the moment.
Jordan RichardsHOST
Ten games gone, one win, seven defeats.
BenHOST
You know, we're not...
BenHOST
We aren't at the level that we were with Michael Appleton's season, where you've got Brennan Johnson and Morgan Rodgers.
BenHOST
Can I just say,
EmilyHOST
ahead of the Millwall game, this is a bit of an aside, ahead of the Millwall game, I stayed at my parents' house because I was getting up at half past five to get on the coach.
BenHOST
Um, yeah.
BenHOST
And the, the last time we lost 6-0 at home I think was the Oxford game, wasn't it? Just before Michael Appleton was appointed.
BenHOST
Um, so yeah.
BenHOST
Not, not, not games to remember by any stretch of the imagination.
