Sack him, save our season

[BCnotts18]

Wel be out the playoffs by 5pm next week, and we look clueless. We have no plan we rely on individual moments from a few players.

His lucks run out and we're falling apart.

Save the season and sack him.

This season is beyond saving now. The bros saw to that with a horrendous January window.

But Maynard obviously still needs to go as soon as possible. He's ridiculously out of his depth, tactically inept, and has the same about charisma as a wooden spoon.

Should never have been appointed to begin with, and the fact we paid money for him is laughable.

Cant argue with this. Relied on players who either never play or whove left, but Maynard never gets an ounce extra from those who can play.

If Williams fancies it for 10 games why not?

if only for the symmetry with last season

When Ardley was sacked Notts were 6th and he'd collected 8 points from his last 12. However, Ardley wasn't their own man. I suppose Maynard might not be either though, if the decision or recommendation came from Montague.

That's unfair, a wooden spoon is useful.

I'll repeat what I said in the other thread. The new signings haven't impressed, but they're not alone. Established players who until recently were performing well are now looking way off form. The whole team looks slow, hesitant and badly under-prepared, and if you're a new player coming into that then you're obviously going to suffer.

I'm seriously beginning to wonder what walked out of the door when we had the sudden split in the managerial team in late January. Since then, only the performance at Gillingham and maybe the one at Fleetwood have been what you might call decent. The rest have been pretty poor, even in the games we won against the division's stragglers. We look like a badly-prepared team. We're trying to continue playing the possession football that is our identity, but everyone wants too many touches, the movement off the ball has largely disappeared and we're playing in front of teams at a snail's pace. I'm beginning to wonder if Maynard was just the PR guy and Saunders was the one with the tactical and training expertise.

It feels like we have come full circle and we are back to that lethargy and apathy that descended on the squad this time last year after Luke Williams left the club. Or is it just the way we see it as a fan base?

which brings the conversation back to the players' belief in the system/coaches. SM looked almost in tears today, and it's frankly weird to hear he was coaching players on the pitch at half time. We're still in the playoff places, but I'm finding it harder and harder to see SM dragging us up and out of this slump - and when you don't have the quality of players fit, it's all on the coach to get us competing.
