I know they would be happy just to " stay in the division forever "

Which fan has said this I cant see anybody saying it on here ?

I predict the "lack of urgency" phrase that was popularised to the point Stallard and Charlie were using it towards the end of Burchnall's spell will be making a comeback soon enough if we can't maintain an automatic position with the 2nd biggest crowds in the division (likely to be the highest next season if Bradford go up and we don't).

None but there some that give the impression that they believe we are too big to be rubbing shoulders with( insert any L2 club). No wonder many see us as arrogant

We are as low as we are because the club has been chronically badly run, not due to a lack of support, potential, historical significance or reputation, it's bad ownership, period. Saying that has got nothing to do with arrogance. If Everton dropped into League One then anybody who knew anything about football would be saying they are too big to hang around at that level and that it would only be a failure of how the club is being run that would leave them languishing at that level.

We played some magic football first half of Jatta and other weren?t so wasteful we should have been out of sight.
Teams came out for the second half, Paul cook stuck an extra man in midfield for them and Maynard had no idea what to do about it apart from play so deep compared to the first half.
First half Abbott was effective soon as SM told them to play deep he was non existent.

The extra man in midfield did for us.
Unfortunately it was obvious to everyone in the ground we needed another man in there. Given Edwards was on the bench I'd have put him in alongside Palmer and allowed Abbot to play slightly further forward.

To wait until 70 minutes to make a change - Maynard is far to slow to react when we're under pressure - invited to goal to come. Even then neither of his substitutions addressed the obvious weakness in midfield.

Tactically he can't change anything in the 2nd half to prevent the opponents getting the upper hand he just waits till we concede
We were on top first half and Cook changed his formation to try and counter it Maynard either didn't notice or just thought we would continue to be dominant .
It's no good just bemoaning our chances that go begging he has to do something about it.
