Maynard out?

[LeftPeg_Pie]

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.

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.

Exactly this.

Folk writing off our chances but if you ask them who they will think will win the playoffs, there wouldn?t be an obvious choice.

Folk saying we have this amazing squad, do we? We have a lot of unproven players at the level we are at. Most on here didn?t fancy our chances of promotion in pre season and those same voices are the ones piping up the most about lost opportunities and not being promoted.

Personally the recruitment hasn?t been as good as it should have been. Defensively we have it about right but we don?t have that genuine creative midfielder? we did, but his eye was turned and I?m not sure we saw the best of him prior to leaving.
We have always been a decent striker short with a heavy reliance on Jatta and Didz. Jatta seems bereft of form and confidence, but SM has no obvious replacement. Though he could go Didz up top and have JJ in the 10.
And IMO we are a right sided player shirt too.

SM tried to be more attacking on Monday? 3 strikers on the pitch. However, Flynn solved that puzzle and SM simply didn?t look for an answer.

The squad is short in key attacking areas IMO and isn?t as amazing as some make out.
