Maynard out?

So do we keep changing managers until we find one that can adapt the style to win games,

'keep changing' is hardly fair when 2 of the 3 appointees did so well (with that style btw) they both left to go up 2 divisions

Right.
There are too many different factors to pin this season's disappointments on a playing style, which has brought us success.

We don't have enough consistently high-performing players. We've asked about 5 players to carry us. SM hasn't instilled a match-winning mentality and doesn't seem to have one himself.

If the play-offs are a flop, I believe SM will go and Gagliardi and co will have to try to deal with the squad problem as well as finding a replacement for SM.

He'll have his work cut out because 2 of our 6 high-performing players will either leave or become 38.
I don't think it is playing style which has held back Tsaroulla, Grant, Palmer, Gordon, Macari, McDonald, Edwards etc. It's either they're just not good enough, don't have the mentality or SM can't get the best out of them.

Ridiculous to have this poll before the season's ended when we're still in a playoff spot.

In.

I must admit I would have left this poll until the season had ended, but after 44 games I'm pretty sure my opinion wouldn't change:

If we fail to make the playoffs - OUT.
If we lose in the playoffs - OUT
If we win the playoffs - OUT.

It seems incredibly harsh to get rid of a manager who got you promoted, but since day one I have seen Stuart Maynard as a 'nearly' man. A fair bit to like, but I am convinced something is missing. Even with the injuries we have suffered (loads of other clubs have had them as well) I think we should be doing better than we are. For once we have a squad that is balanced and talented compared to most, but we are conceding points to lesser teams far too often, especially at Meadow Lane. Thank you for your efforts Stuart, you gave it everything and did your best and I would wish you all the best for the future.

But in order to continue our upward curve, I hope your future isn't at Notts County.

My thoughts exactly, who we get in though I haven't a clue.

Looks like Matt Saunders took his blue print to success with him, hmmmmm where is he now?

Could you refer to someone as a nearly man if they achieved what was set out to be done?

I could in this particular case.

I just don't think he's capable of getting the maximum out of the squad he has.

I appreciate the idea of not getting the most out of the squad at hand. But I would struggle to understand the nearly man thing if we actually went up.

I think as a standard, most fans want their team to go up. Of course, we all want 100 points and go up with 6 to go, but realistically that does not happen very often.

As it stands, we are in the running to go up. We are bang out of form at the wrong time, but as it stands, those in the play offs are too. Of the last 15 points available:

Walsall - 3.
Wimbledon - 5.
Notts - 4.
Grimsby - 5.

That said, couldn't hurt to go and find him a loud, charismatic assistant head coach.
