That would be daft.

A really pathetic half of football - all the problems we've seen all season have been in full view. Where to start?
I thought Grant would play today but I haven?t seen him.
Jarvis on for Austin
Mendis for Grant
That was a typical Maynard half of pointless, possession based, toothless football. We needed a high tempo attacking display, we've got slow, painful rubbish. Why are we trying to play the flanks with balls in the box when they've won every header? Maynard has no clue.
I'm afraid it's time to reassess the game of the captain. He's not offering much in the defensive third of the pitch and just as little in the attacking third. Now, even in the middle he struggles to contribute.
He had the ball inside-right with space, there were so many options forwards, but because there was nobody available for the square pass right all he could think to do was pass it backwards to the defence. That's hurting more than helping us.
We need to improve the sympathy and pace of our passing. It can't be beyond the wit of professionals to pass to the better foot of the recipient. So many times we lose that half second it takes to shift onto the best foot which gives time for them to close down. Also, the completely unnecessary extra pass which gives them time to reset. That is a major difference between this team and Luke's
This absolute clown has turned a potentially promotion winning side into a bunch of losers. Virtually every single player is worse than when the season started. Not very good coaching.
