Maynard out?

[Since71]

I'll give you some news. He'll be in the dugout come August with a new coaching team to help him

Which Bros are you, Chris or Alex??
He's a man of mediocrity, that's not a bad thing in life but I want better than that to manage our club.
He's a dead man walking

Today we had to give it a go we had no choice .Ok we may have lost by 3 or 4 but we lost anyway and never looked like scoring. He is obsessed with keeping possession as a defensive ploy but with that mentality how can we win the number of games required. I dont think it made any difference that Didsy and Jatta were not playing. He didnt play Jarvis who is an attacking threat and we didnt put people in the box. The guy was told to improve our defence which he has done but the cost is massive. Today i felt we never tried to win the game. Yes probably a lost cause but we didnt even try.

Agreed. It should have been all guns blazing?but it wasn?t.

All this overload on the wings talk every match with no result is pointless.
Just get at them. It?s not hard.
Attack with purpose until you can?t run anymore.

Case in point is Mat Palmer. Such a good player at non league, but has looked so poor for months since his return.

Matt Palmer's interview after the game was so dull, it reflected how he'd been playing this season. He didn't seem to know what we'd done wrong and it was as though we'd just lost a pre season game not a play off match.

I have been saying for some time he is part of the problem but a sacred cow.

This is the first real test of the owners engagement with fans. Last year they used stats to back Maynard, we were told promotion was the aim.

We have neither been promoted or played interesting football with an appalling home record to boot. There is no stat that redeems him this year, he's lost the fans if he ever had them in the first place. It was always going to be difficult replacing Luke Williams, but to turn an exciting and attacking team into whatever it is we are now should be a criminal offense

I just watched Man City lose playing a similar brand of toothless possession -based football. It seems Pep has been found out this season...could this be the start of the end for this tedious style of play?

Palace were organised, physical and disciplined...a bit like Wimbledon and Walsall against Chesterfield. Possession football ain't all it is cracked up to be.

Ironically, I think Forest could prove to be the death knell for possession based football. They've proven this season that if you're organised and disciplined off the ball and ruthless with it, it's a far more effective brand of football.

Our game is all about stats, but the biggest one we seem to ignore is the most crucial - number of goals scored. Take today, a must win game where it's imperative to score. 0-0 is not an option. We registered one shot on target.

If S M is here in August we are likely to do what Manchester United did hang on to useless manager, spend all our transfer money and then have to Sack S M. ( If you continue do what S M does tactical you will get the same results crap football.) Then appoint a new manager with no money for transfers and expect them to get promotion. Another wasted session in league 2

Well it's hardly surprising when jatta and dizzy were missing
The January window was poor - like stallard said how many if them players have made a real impact
