I'm genuinely 50/50 on the Maynard in/out question, because I'm not satisfied with what I've seen and I'm not convinced Maynard is the right man to take us forward, but my sense of fairness tells me it's not logical to sack someone who has taken us into a play-off position after a lower-half finish last season.Quote:

What is certain is that I agree with your assessment of performances at the Lane recently, "turgid" being a very apt description. If Saturday's performance against Wimbledon was an improvement, then it only emphasises the low bar set by previous performances.
When Luke Williams was in charge, I felt genuinely excited about each game and really looked forward to seeing us play. Under Maynard, it's just been week after week of negative football played at pre-season friendly pace, with possession often going nowhere. Yes we still create occasional good chances and score goals that may look good and well-crafted in abstract on a highlights reel, but overall there's no aggression, passion or pace in our play. A lot of the time we look like we're going through the motions and stifling the talent of some of our best players rather than maximising their impact. Basically, it's just dull.
I'll renew my season ticket shortly, but being brutally honest I won't be doing it with any enthusiasm if I've got to watch more of the powder-puff, insubstantial football I've seen in recent months. Out of respect for our improvement in league position (and a little bit of sentiment for the BT engineer done good fairy tale) I won't join the 'Maynard Out' crew at this point, but bloody hell he needs to produce a more entertaining brand of football next season, otherwise I can only see one outcome.
Time to see what someone different can do with this club.Quote:

Goodbye, Mr Maynard.
Time to go.
The way he's talking in the post match, he definitely expects to be in charge next season.
The Bros really need to make a statement. They should sack him this evening and apologise and accept to the fans that they got it wrong.Quote:
