Durham, I've NEVER been in his camp. He's always been a No for me! Prescriptive management. Clueless!!Originally Posted by durhampie

I believe the play-offs will determine his fate.
But anyone thinking it's better to fail in them because he'll probably be gone is nuts. Let's try to get to L1 and deal with it from there
We should be a happy fanbase because we're in a win-win situation really

Ok I concede. I must be the twit.

And the half a brain comment really hurt (on here).

No, too many teams have come down from League 1 and ended up in the national league. Regardless of what happens, Maynard needs to go

Regardless of what happens?
If we get promoted, I think the club should get you to sit across from him and tell him (the day after the final)...
''many teams have come down from League 1 and ended up in the national league - thanks for the promotion, but you're fired''

I like the basic idea behind Maynards approach in that he wants to dominate possession, both home and away. We have generally done this in most games.
We have generally defended well this season and we generally create plenty of chances and we have missed plenty of these too (a pretty standard correlation). I would argue that a fair chunk of the results that have not gone our way can be summed up with the old ?you have got to take your chances? adage.
Without smashing through all the stats and focusing on those three basic principles (which I think most would agree are fair and observable) versus a sixth place finish, then I think a sound conclusion is that we are a well coached side.
The last six, results wise, have been poor (4 points from 18) but the home performances in particular have been below expectations for longer than that.
If you add that into the working above, then it is fair to conclude that we are a well coached side up to a point.
Too often since the end of the 10 game run post-Salford we have become a little too wedded to Plan A and teams have worked us out. I praised Maynard for making us a more versatile when compared to Williams, but this has dropped off in recent weeks and games.
DC (a goal involvement every other game whilst at Notts) left on Jan 14th and was replaced by Whitaker (a goal involvement every five games).
The Saunders Bros left 10 days later. Joao Alves became Assistant not long after.
L2 POTY Jodi Jones has made 20 league appearances compared to 43 last season. Clearly, we have had other injuries too, but Jones is your key one.
Maynard is by no means the best Head Coach at this level, but he certainly is not the worst. Regardless of how the season pans out, given our summer recruitment has generally been excellent in the last two seasons, if Maynard is supported with another voice or two in his coaching team, from outside the Radar bubble, I would be happy for him to continue as Head Coach.
If he goes, so be it. The Bros would have some grounds for it, no doubt. But if he stays, they have grounds for that too.

I'd happily do it. He's out of his depth

Well, don't forget to get a video

Think we've found Maynard's account!
