Maynard out?

I really don't think he's safe.

He presided over a big blown opportunity.

And when we play Salford, surely the owners will be looking for a) clear signs he learned from the two defeats and can find solutions against those type of teams and b) motivating the players to settle the score and get the better of them.

I think Salford was the biggest nail in Moniz's coffin, and now they loom large again. I don't think SM can go P4 W0 D1 L3 against them and keep his job.

If we go up - he is safe (clearly - it would be massively unfair to sack SM under those circumstances).

If we lose in the playoffs, I think he is toast (and rightfully so).

I doubt League 2 will be so weak again next year - I think the_anticlough is spot on, this years screams missed opportunity if we fail to take advantage. Hopefully we will and this is all conjecture.

I agree, this is where we're at now.

Most everything except the ending has already been written about SM, talk about flogging a dead 'os to death, but it's because SM/the club hasn't settled the argument. SM's obviously talented beyond his experience, and yet there's definitely more to this squad than we've been able to consistently show. AND the division looks there for the taking for mere consistency. The fact that we're one of about 5 clubs ruing missed opportunities just tells us how fine the margins are.

Everything has been said at this point. The Jan tranny window looks great really, just not timely - so a tactical fail.

I do find it strange that we must have the smallest coaching dept in the league, and there was no quick replacement of our DoF, AND we must have the least experienced manager in all the leagues.
