New Manager?

[midshipman]

Maybe after the last two very poor performances where S M has failed to get any improvement at all the Bros are thinking of getting a new manager. That could be why they have not replaced the coaches who have have left. There would be no point in getting new coaches for a short time because the new manager will bring his his own coaching staff.

Not this side of Christmas.

Nah, improved our league position, made some money, no doubt they'll be happy.

Both games could and should have been won. Against Ches, game should have been done at HT. Today is another game we should have won.

And maybe they aren't

I?d gone to 60-40 for a long time to recently 50-50, just can?t say for sure, is the front 5 just not good enough? Didzy wasn?t great today at all and absolutely no one stepped up instead.

Think he was trying to hard , can't be everywhere, but he did come very close near the end. Run himself into the ground, why can't some of the others put in as much effort when they're far younger.
I'm 50 50 now.

Well it beats being bankrupt and crashing out of the league doesn't it!

I'm not sure if your comment is meant to be critical or not, but I suspect they would neither be completely happy or completely unhappy. The first objective would surely be to improve our league position on last season, which we will, barring a monumental collapse. The play-offs would then be the next objective, and we're in contention for that. Automatic promotion would be the dream outcome, and we're only two points off the top three as we stand.

I think if after 46 games we could only point to a top half finish then they would be disappointed and might well review whether Maynard is the guy to take us forward, much as they did with Ardley. If we made the play-offs but didn't win them, then I think they would be happy with this season's effort, but would look to strengthen again in the summer to really push for the top spots next season, and if we got automatic promotion they would understandably be delighted, as would we all.

The big picture is that the worst we can probably expect this season is to just miss the play-offs and yet be in reasonably good financial shape to go again next season. I don't think the Bros would be "happy" with that, but relative to the disaster(s) this club has suffered in the past, it's not the end of the world.

Like I've said above. Opportunity knocks. If we're good enough to win six of the next eight games I think we'll be up. If we're not, and if we don't win or make the play-offs, then we look at where we still need to improve, much like we've done in previous seasons up to now.

Unfortunately he looked lost with options. It?s like you get the ball, look up and think do I really fancy giving them the ball?

Today was nowhere near *very poor* but 10 points from 10 games is. Theres a few vacancies to fill and I cant imagine there wont be another come the end of the season given the dross thats been served up at Meadow Lane over the last 14 months.

Hes had some bad luck recently but Maynard has never got to grips with playing the way the owners want to play while also producing entertaining, winning football at home.
