More time?

The problem with sacking the manager is that you risk bringing back the instability years - and that was a s*** time for our club. The "out of his depth" and "losing the dressing room" is unlikely - if you take the frustration and emotion away - but I can't really defend the bad results. I actually really liked us today (until the last 15 minutes!!) - thought the attitude was spot on and to be fair Langstaff could have had two today pretty easily.... But it's hard when you're on a bad run, confidence is lower and luck isn't coming your way.

I'm not against people's opinions - and they may be right about Maynard not being right (tho personally I hope not) - but I do think people are human and turning on people and dissing them just brings the worst out of everyone.

I would agree that comments such as "clueless" "out of his depth" and "lost the dressing room" or "the players don't respect him" are more emotive responses. I don't believe we have such characters at the club these days. The senior players we have such as Bostock, David McGoldrick are far better professionals than those types of players. Plus JOB out there today with his Notts tattoo showed none of that. The same goes for Rawlinson and Slocombe.

I would be questioning the players if they had downed tools. I didn't see a group of players against Mansfield, Wrexham or AFC Wimbledon today displaying any of those qualities. Neither was the case against Newport or Barrow.

Even against the likes of Crewe, Gillingham and Sutton. What I see is a team lacking in belief and conviction a bit and lower in confidence than before LW left with individual errors being punished causing confidence to drop further.

I thought we were decent for a point until we conceded today. I thought the same against Mansfield and Wrexham.

We desperately need a win, somehow somewhere away at Crawley on Tuesday will be a start. It needs to be SM's equivalent of LW's Chesterfield away game that became a catalyst and a galvanising game that would define the start of his tenure. Lets hope.

It was always a concern for me that he did not have coaching experience at a higher level, something both LW and Burchnall had. At this point we may as well have had Bill Maynard (RIP) in charge, he couldn’t have done much worse.
