Even if we somehow manage to win the playoffs, I really hope Maynard isn't head coach when we kick off next season.

I am sick and tired of leaving the ground to the sound of ecstatic away fans.
Reminds me a bit of the Keith Curle days, where he simply wouldn't or couldn't adapt successful away tactics to work at home, and we know what happened to him. Jatta was so bereft of support from midfield. I think Grant and Whitaker were notionally supposed to work off him as attacking midfielders, but they were both abysmal.

Unfortunately, our obsession with playing slow-paced possession football makes us look like a team playing a pre-season friendly every week. People complain about a lack of atmosphere and fans expressing frustration, but what are we supposed to cheer when we constantly pass backwards and sideways and there's never so much as a crunching tackle to get the juices flowing. It's just passionless, insipid stuff and frankly not worth paying money to watch.
