If I was Jatta

[TSANHO]

I’m starting to think that it won’t actually change any time soon. Ive just a feeling the owners will give him a chance next season after a summers worth of recruiting and, hopefully, strengthening!

It sure looks bad now but for the first 20 - 30 minutes on Tuesday we looked like the early season Notts County, pressing high, quick passing and pretty fluid. We scored the goal and then just flopped and played ourselves out of the game over a period of 40-50 minutes until we looked unrecognisable from the side at the beginning of the match.

It appeared to me the players were still trying and running for the manager, which was a good sign. Even at the start of the second half we started well but couldn’t get a foothold from about 60 minutes onwards, and finally capitulated horrendously. I didn’t think we were atrocious against Wimbledon either, we were the better team for large spells and had Macca buried one of his chances it could’ve been another story.

Rightly or wrongly Maynard is learning on the job half way through a season with a team and fans who loved the previous manager, high expectations, and a team starting to stutter with a horrendous looking run of games to baptise him with. To me there are subtle signs creeping in that perhaps he can get us firing again….imagine what a win on Saturday would do for everyone’s confidence. What doesn’t, or won’t help, is turning Meadow Lane into that horrible toxic place that we all know so well.

Perhaps we could just get behind him whilst he is here. Some of the personal abuse I’ve seen thrown his way is nothing short of a disgrace.
