Maynard out?

[SinceSept1959]

Some very good analysis and opinions throughout out this thread.

Maynard appears to be a honest guy but probably believes in his own " system " too much and is far too transparent for the opposition to work out. Style of play never varies , substitutions managed by minutes and persistent with Palmer taking repeatedly poor set piece deliveries ! Interesting chant yesterday 🎤first man again , first man again 🎤 as an example.

The season started well enough upto the Gillingham (H) game until the disgusting leg breaking tackle on Jones and also denied 3 points on the day by the usual appalling officials. Upto that point we looked like amassing enough points to become runaway leaders akin to Walsall.

Maynard has also had to contend with numerous lengthy injuries and illness amongst the squad. All clubs have injuries but ours have been amongst the most damaging, especially to key personnel.
Another factor was the departure of 2/3 of the " management team" under unexpected and unrevealed circumstances. The highly vocal Mark Saunders being a significant departure ??
After staying behind to watch the Doncaster presentation, the numbers of their backroom staff was incredible.
Has Maynard received enough support although Collis and Sloc's have contributed from the dugout.
If Maynard is retained he certainly needs more support and the decision not to retain JOB in a player/coach role was naive .

At the end of the day, the players are on the pitch and the manager /coach implements a game plan . The players have to make the correct choices during a game and have the ability to defend , create and finish chances. An area which has been our downfall, along with a lack of leadership , agitation and persuasion during matches. In essence a motivated winning leader as skipper.

All fans want the best for their club Many have lost patience with SM, particularly with his failure to make successful game changing substitutions.
IMHO both Jarvis and Morais should have started much sooner yesterday.

Continuity and stability is preferable but in a results based business,whether the owners pull the trigger is anyone's guess. Either sack the coach or back him to the best of budget availability.
To progress further , player recruitment should be focused on available players with a winning habit and mentality.
