Let's be honest, the Maynard team that finished the season, with his way of playing, would have been ripped to shreds in the old Division Three.
This is the problem if teams are not strong enough once they get into league one it can set clubs back and into reverse. Mansfield lost almost half their league one games and they were a strong side at this level prior to getting promoted.

Many teams that have been relegated from league one have fell straight through the trapdoor to the National League with Carlisle being the latest victim. Before them it was Forest Green Rovers and Southend all in the past five years.

The last thing we need is to get promoted to league one and go into reverse. We've got to be strong enough to hold our own and stay there when we get there. Hopefully that is where the new head coach and this summers transfer window comes into it.
