So imagine Tiendalli didn't make that back pass but instead hoofed it forward rather than skewing it back. We would have won the match and Pep would surely not have been sacked. Almost up there with Brock's.
I remember in Appleton's first season we'd lost shambolically at home to Southend after leading, The next week we were at home to Exeter and he changed it round, bringing in Josh Ashby and O'Dowda. We played better but were losing with a few minutes to go when he brought on James Roberts, who promptly scored a late equalizer. Had we lost Appleton would very likely have been sacked. On such margins are careers built or lost.
