Maynard : Disappointing, we can't be anymore in control, can't question the lads desire but we've got to be able to defend those moments. I don't feel we're equipped, everybody in L2 is putting balls into the box.

Says Jatta didn't come on because we weren't getting balls in to the box.

Isn’t it his job as coach to then tell players to put it in the box ?

I really feel for Maynard, I thought we were decent enough today. It’s up to players to sort themselves on set plays, was Rawlinson just unlucky? The second ones more unforgivable.
I would have taken Chicksen off earlier, as they were just sat back in a back 5 for most of the game.
I did take the positive that 2 of our younger players (Robertson and Macari) were very good.

Is Stuart Maynard unlucky I ask myself? Mansfield and Wrexham away now AFC Wimbledon at home. All games where we deserved more but got nothing. Then the Newport and Barrow games a good four points based on the oppositions form.

There were those games that were horror shows or littered with individual errors such as Sutton, Crewe and Gillingham.

For me playoffs are gone now. We've got 7 points from the last ten games and have been stuck in the 40-49 point bracket since we beat Morecombe 5-0 on boxing day. The last eleven games are now a test to see if SM can turn it around. If we can get 15 points and finish around 60-65 points that will be an upturn and should see a top half finish.

It really has been the worst possible start to 2024 we could have imagined but I'm not giving up on SM yet. I want to see how he does against teams that LW beat as there has only been one game Gillingham so far that LW got a better result.

Gotta say your thing about comparing Maynard’s and Williams results against the same teams is a bit odd. We play Crawley on Tuesday I don’t see any relevance to anything as to how we did against them the best part of 3 months ago. Even less so against Accy who we played 6 months ago.

I think you’re better off looking at the evidence of your own eyes at matches now.

The good times really don't last long at Notts do they?

Just about survive this season, but next we will be nailed-on favourites for the drop back down again.

Nah, you're alright.
