Some players just haven?t been up to it all, said all season we were weak at 10s and WBs and then drop offs in Palmer and Jatta which I thinks down to Palmer playing so much after injury and Jatta having no rest in a very physical league playing his first full season.

I really hope we don?t sack him without a replacement lined up, I can?t see LW or Buckingham coming unless we offer them a very good wage and promises of very decent backing, maybe LW can be tempted with the emotional connection.

Whoever it is, and whenever it happens, I hope the next man has the same conviction in his beliefs as LW.

Maynard is similar to Burchnall (Fullarton was another) - too mindful of what old blokes in the Pavis or NCM think. Slag off players you think you can get away with or what that audience wants to hear like Eli Sam, waste a year playing Kelly-Evans over Nemane, pick Austin over Jarvis, talk a lot about mistakes or go more defensive.

I want to go back to someone like Williams telling fans they're wrong about short corners and they better get used to it. Someone with the courage to do it his way.

In Burchnall's defence, Nemane came to us injured with a broken leg if I recall correctly? Certainly a big injury that he was getting over so picking Kelly-Evans wasn't as insane as it first appears

I think the fact we haven't had a statement about the season just gone along with the retained list points to the fact Maynard is going. I have no knowledge of this fact but if you have a retained list, it's not hard to say last season was good enough, we go again next season and we're backing the manager blah blah blah. The gap between the two is saying to me that they are in talks with his replacement and they will announce the review once it's done.

When was the Halifax away game? I remember watching Nemane start on the left in a rare 4-2-3-1. Did OK. First half of the season I think

The point is Montague signed him as a RWB, and he was introduced as such, but we had to wait a full year and LW to see it. And put up with DKE for a full year, in a league we should have been attacking, not scared of.
Conservative decisions influenced by a play-it safe approach and keeping certain vocal fans quiet.

And you can stick your long ones up yours ;)

Btw I said someone LIKE Williams, I wouldn't want him back - he comes from too far away, we need somebody closer

Maynard has gone...Great news

As long as the new bloke has more than one conviction he can stick to them as much as he wants.
