Stuart Interview

[BigFatPie]

Mmm not sure…I think if I read his comments instead of listening to them I’m less biased towards not liking him, because what he says is reasonable and makes sense!

I think he has a tough job on his hands to be honest. He came in at a difficult time with the team on the back of a difficult run of games with more tough games to come. Best player out injured and a bit of a defensive crisis. The players and fans all loved the previous manager who got us promoted and had us in the playoff places…..which Maynard is kind of expected to keep up. He’s never worked full time in football, never mind the EFL, and it will be all too easy for fans to find fault when, if, things start to go south.

Even silly things like ‘respecting the point’ will become a club with which to beat him over the head with….look at my own comments. If he can finish top half this season, whilst keeping the fans onside, and rebuild next year with his own stamp on things he will have done well.

You’re right though, I wasn’t keen on this appointment, especially at this time, but I’ll try to be fair in my assessments of him from now on. But look, I won’t be listening to his interviews!

Agree with all that. It takes time to get to know and hopefully like a new gaffer, certainly did with Williams. Platitudes like ‘respecting the point’ don’t exactly help though.

I liked that he was coherent and not too emotional about the murder attempt on Jodi - and if he wants to respect the point at this stage, that is fine with me. As someone on this thread wisely pointed out Wheelbarrow are no mugs and the performance overall was better than some of the Luke William's ones (thinks of the Mansfield games and seriously shudders). I liked that we only looked suicidal in defence for about ten minutes worth of the game rather than throughout it all. Watching how Stuart interacts with people, his philosophy and his achievements so far I think he could be a great man for the club. Mostly speculation at this stage of course but I'm optimistic.

Its one more point to safety....
