Maynard out?

[Since71]

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.

Youve used a lot of words to come to the conclusion that you think he might,possibly,maybe,potentially if it wasn't for all factors outside his control ok or at best an alright coach. Wakey f******wakey!!!!! He is f***ing clueless!!!!!!!

I must admit it is concerning to me how a few folk still cannot seem to grasp how much of a bad appointment he was and continues to be.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, of course, and when it?s different to mine I still see their point of view.

Re Maynard I just feel it?s so glaringly obvious that he is absolutely nowhere near the standard we operate at, or want to operate at that any other opinion really doesn?t even register with me. He?s quite possibly the worst appointment I?ve ever seen in football.
