Turn out in numbers on Monday.

[marky]

Whatever happens I hope against hope that whatever is shouted towards Maynard on Monday isn’t too disgusting and personal. From what you read on here and social media Maynard is the antichrist, hell bent on destroying Notts County and returning us to the NL.

Whatever his limitations are, he’s still trying his best….he isn’t trying to upset anyone. It may be frustrating but let’s try and remember he’s human ay, I know that’s difficult for some.

This, this and this again. I feel quite sorry for him but it's not working.

To the tune of "Sacked in the morning".....

Please sack the gaffer,
We're begging, please sack the gaffer,
Thanking you kind-ly
if you could please sack the gaff-er.

I'll be there on Monday and I want the team to surprise me and do well. I've formed the opinion that Stuart Maynard isn't the man to lead us forward, but I'll be more than happy if he miraculously proves me wrong, beating MK Dons (or at least not losing) and then going on a good run through to the end of the season.

Whether we're talking about the Head Coach or the players, this isn't personal. I certainly don't hate Stuart Maynard - far from it in fact - but the bottom line is that results decide how good a manager is and how long he lasts.

Watching the post-match interview after Swindon, I thought Maynard showed admirable dignity and resilience in an almost impossible situation, but you only have to look at his eyes to see the pressure he's under. The decision on when to pull the plug isn't mine, so until that decision is made I'll wish the Head Coach the best even though I fear the worst. There's no point kicking someone when they're already down.

As Luke Williams said early in his reign, fans desperately want the club and the team to do well, and any negative reaction comes from the frustration arising from that desperation. After 5 home defeats in a row that desperation is understandably bordering on exasperation and 'toxicity'. I hope on Monday that the fans who do attend try to create a positive atmosphere at the start of the game, because the team does need it, but then the players and management have to take responsibility for what happens from there. They have more control than anyone else over the way the game goes and the way the crowd reacts.

Well said Jackal. I think that's exactly the right balance attitude.

To the tune of "Oh when the saints"......

Unconciously (unconciously)
Unconciously (unconciously)

Unconciously he makes mistakes

It would be best by mutual con-sent
Unconciously he makes mistakes

I’ve never left a match early, but it seems a sensible thing to do on Monday if it’s another poor performance. It sends a message, but isn’t abusive. A mass exit when the board goes up for time added on.

I have nothing against SM but it is the hardest thing in football to turn around a demoralised team with nothing to play for, and I don’t think he stands a chance of achieving that.

If it's a choice beween leaving early or hanging on just to boo & abuse the manager/players I will leave every time. COYP

Attended the last home game against Wimbledown and really didn't enjoy it. Felt bored for most of the game (a cold afternoon didn't help matters). I'm tired of watching players endlessly and aimlessly pass among themselves and the goalie across the back, going nowhere and achieving the square root of nothing apart from raising the possession stats. Regular periods of this absolute guff are punctuated by some of the most amateurish, schoolboy errors in defence which make a laughing stock out of the club.

As a few others have said, I won't be there again this season if this manager continues in the job.I absolutely hope the man isn't abused if things start going wrong again on Monday. He was invited to come and manage this club and any blame goes elsewhere for that. I sincerely hope that he can go and find a suitable position at his own level somewhere. That needs to happen now, Anything else is just wasting valuable time preparing for next season.

I'm done, until there is change.

In my opinion he needs to ditch his conservative approach on how to play and take the shackles off.Let him prove he knows how to set up a team to attack and let them play how we were before he came.let the wing backs push on and the rest will follow.! Hes got half a dozen games let the players loose and play the way they know....!!

I have been pretty much in the camp that some of the players weren't helping SM, but l am slowly coming around to the fact that the job might be too much for him. However, Stal pointed out that the players need to take more responsibility on the pitch, and l agree with him. For example, Nemane marking a player a foot taller than him, can't' the players see this and make their own adjustments? Even when they make a mistake they just seem to shrug their shoulders and let SM take the flak.

If a manager sees it and doesnt change it then
A - it's his fault as he should be screaming his head off to get the said miss match sorted if the player isnt sorting it himself.
B - could be considered an incompetent buffoon who doesn't know what he's doing !

I agree with all that, I never boo the players
