⚽ Match Thread vs. MK Dons [EFL L2] 01.04.24

Up to 15th,

6 points behind 12th (Harrogate) so if we still have any chance of finishing in the top half we probably have to beat them next week.
Harrogate scored 5 goals in the last half hour today and have a very good away record since November.

Maynard sounding brighter, "credit to the lads when we went 3-2 down". Talks about intensity being there today.

He says "This place has to got to become a fortress"..... well it was before you came matey!

"You've got to look at the problems before we came here"....... yeah, we were 6th.

Talking about working behind the scenes on recruitment in the summer, so he at least seems to think he will be here next season.

Thanks that last paragraph has put a dampener on a good performance

You can’t please all the people all of the time!!!

Brace asked him about the banner, Maynard says he didn't see it and thought the fans were behind him.

That's the most defensive post match interview he's given, he sounded more annoyed and defiant as it went on.

Dont let that worry you we signed Langstaff/Scott without a manager/head coach.

Not that we were ever getting relegated but we now know this is a fact so we prepare now for it.

The lads with the banner were men of the match today.

A lot of positives in that performance today. Played with more purpose, aggression and quality.
Same frailties when defending (not just at the back).
If we had played like that throughout SM’s tenure we’d be in the playoffs and he would have the backing of the fans.

You talk absolute boll*cks

Thought he answered the questions well, don’t think he was annoyed, but just my opinion.

Some people would watch paint dry as long as it was black and white.

David Jackson saying it's a funny stage of the season to sack a manager and thinks the owners will now hang on to the end of it, assuming they are considering it of course.

I'm a bit taken back by Maynard saying he wouldn't have done anything differently since he's been here, considering his PPG. He says he'd only change his luck. It's more than bad luck to be averaging less than 1 point a game approaching a third of the season's worth of matches in charge.
It was a decent result today, but that interview is going to rub some people up the wrong way I feel.
