For where we are in the league right now, with the injuries we?ve had and the quality of football we?re playing, I would say Maynard has done a very good job.
The likes of Austin, Macari, Jatta and even Martin are all clearly improving under SM.
Where I think we need to improve is putting teams to the sword when we?re so dominant. Walsall should have been over at half time, as should Doncaster away. Swindon almost felt like a training exercise it was so easy but at 2-0 you?re only a deflected goal away from the game turning on its head.
So, what?s your opinion Durham?

I agree slightly with your first line having 5 or 6 decent. Although I think we have more.
The football at times is a joy to watch, but we tend to struggle to maintain those standards for 90 minutes. Which has cost us points. Our substitutions in some of games have not helped to retain the balance of play , Why ??
I like both Austin and Macari has they always give 110%.
Martin is turning out to be quite a useful player, although like most on here i had written him off.
The rest of the squad are just not good enough to mount a serious promotion if asked to do so..
