    I was quite surprised when I heard about the bedsheets, but I didn’t think it was embarrassing at all, by all accounts they are lads who go home and away and that was their way of expressing their unhappiness with the current set up. It also enabled Bracegirdle to find a way to ask some challenging questions rather than the gentle full tosses he normally goes with.

    They're entitled to their opinion of course, but it certainly didn't seem to read/reflect the overall mood in the ground, and I say that as someone who in fact agrees (with them) that Maynard is not the right man to lead us into next season.

    The most amusing thing was that having finally plucked up the courage to unfurl their work of art at 2-3 when they obviously thought we'd lost and it was safe to do so, they hastily hid it away again when Nemane equalised. Apparently their opinion/message wasn't strong enough to survive a 3rd Notts County goal!

    If any run of results at Notts has justified banners this century, then Maynard's would be right up with Sherdian, Fullarton and Brazil.

    If somebody had been handing out unlimited "Maynard Out" banners to anybody that wanted one at the gates of the Kop yesterday afternoon, then I dare say you'd have seen a lot more of those being held up.

    At any ground when managers are under severe pressure, it's usually only one or two who will make the effort to knock a banner up. Nobody would feel emboldened enough to display one if they didn't think a good percentage shared their opinion.

    One half decent home game doesn't suddenly make him any better. In fact it doesn't. He cost us the 3 points with his crap substitutions of Bostock and McGoldrick.. Its just a pity the lads in the kop didnt have a banner the whole size of the Kop, He would have seen that..

    I doubt very much if that's the only bedsheet those kids have ruined lately, I certainly agree that many have reservations about SMs abilities but can only repeat that none of the dozen or more that I have spoken to have any intention of not attending next season. COYP

    Does toilet training happen later nowadays? In my day it was sorted before kindergarten. Mind you it seems to go backwards at my time of life
