Was it not really Maynard's fault?

Regardless whether in person or via the TV you can?t have failed to notice that overall we were poor and ineffective at home but also good and effective away from home. Tell me I?m wrong.

So, what does being poor at home for most of last season and this tell you ?

Quite a lot having seen most games last season. Overall we weren?t good enough.
Stuart Maynard never got to grips with a team who came to Meadow Lane to sit in, defend in numbers to deny us space and catch us on the break via a quick transition.

Ultimately he either isn?t good enough full stop or too early in his career to be the person who got us promoted now regardless of the many other contributing favours that have been well covered on here. It?s never just one reason a club gets promoted , doesn?t, or gets relegated obviously.

Your turn what does being good and effective (2nd best away record in League Two last season) tell you?

It tells me that he had no idea when it came to playing at home. Its a good job we did have good away record, otherwise we could have easily found ourselves in a relegation battle. Would you like to go into next season with him as Head Coach ?

Now fair is fair I asked what his away record told you? I already covered his inability to solve the issue of performances and results at home. He had no idea at home, fine.

Now what did solely the away performances and results tell you? Looked to me that he had a good idea when it came to playing away when teams came onto us more and allowed us more space to play. What are your thoughts?

No, I never wanted him sacked during the season I thought that was just silly but did not want him to be our head coach next season. The owners clearly agreed

You have certainly been consistent almost from the day he was appointed, if that's a good thing fair play to you & congratulations on having the time, money & good health to be able to follow your team up & down the country, I was in the same position for years but alas no longer. COYP

That?s a proper half full view Durham as just a slightly better home record would have seen us promoted.
I don?t think we had enough creativity at home towards the end and we tellingly missed Crowley and a fit JJ and yes SM probably got approach wrong too.
