... not one of our players deserve a bus ride home. Jones is just a show pony. They couldn't pass water. Embarrassed for SM. It's certainly not his fault but idiots on here just don't see it, do you ...

I must be an idiot while you are obviously such an elightened individual.
The players are not playing well, true. But its Maynards job to create the environment for them to perform. He appears clueless. Do you honestly think our performances would of sunk so low under LW.

Is the system and style of play causing the individual errors and howlers? On today’s showing the answer is yes. The players do not appear to have the confidence anymore to execute it.

The problem with the style we're trying to play is that it requires high levels of courage and confidence to make it work, which we had last season, but this team is bereft of confidence now, so the whole thing is breaking down catastrophically. In that situation, the way out is usually to go back to basics and relative simplicity in order to hide the flaws and fragile confidence of the players.

Add to that the fact that Stuart Maynard demonstrably cannot replicate the coaching and psychology skills of Luke Williams - who looks more exceptional with every passing game in retrospect - and we've got major problems at the moment.

Fortunately we're safe, so we've got a bit of time and breathing space to make changes, but come the start of next season we'll have to be much stronger than this, otherwise we're in deep trouble.

Attendances and season ticket will plummet next season if SM is not removed

So this abysmal run since he was appointed is "certainly not Maynard's fault".

I know, let's add another year to his contract. That'll show the idiots.

Because the owners dont want to admit they are wrong, the best thing to do was to get rid early- the longer Maynard remains the more damage will be done
Its a bit like what i do buying stocks, if a stock under performs in a set time period, it is sold even if at a loss, and replaced with a better prospect just basic business
