    Didn't want to post yesterday as I was seething on the 3 hours drive back.
    After sleeping on it I don't know if sacking Maynard is the answer at this time, he's been dealt a really sht hand by the club but I'm concerned about the way he sets up the team, to much chopping and changing, hammering square pegs in round holes and of course missing McGoldrick Austin and Jones

    I don't think he is the answer but he has been left high and dry to a large extent. re the square pegs etc - what is this playing players on the wrong side of the pitch? Fine for a winger, but for awing back? Do me a favour! Tsaroulla made some decent runs down the right but the no end product was because the bloke is left footed. If he'd done that down the left he could have put something in for that big bloke who is pretty decent in the air. It was almost as if we were going for a clean sheet: for them!

    And for L2 defenders (which they are) to be asked to leave so much space between each other without an enforcer in midfield is just like handing the enemy a loaded gun. It works from an attacking point of view if the intention is to break quickly, but whenever we get the ball the priority seems to be to p!$$ about with it for a while until the opponents have re-set.

    And to Jacob's post - entirely agree. I know results get points (or not) but I firmly believe that performances are the key to future performances (and results) - there is a relationship of course. We are going out with what looks to be zero intent.

    He needs some help if he is going to remain.. Preferably a more experienced coach or two..
