Without raking through the stats, I am more than happy to call Maynard a good coach.

Of course we have been utter toilet in some games, but a fair chunk of games you would put down as ?if we take our chance we win that.?

No doubt we have dropped off in the last three months, especially at home. Clearly, he has room to improve and things to learn. Yesterday was thoroughly disappointing, but Whitaker being outmuscled and Jones pulling out of a tackle cost us both goals.

Maynard is not Pep, but he also is not the worst appointment in football history. He has spent half a season with a depleted backroom staff and one of his most creative forces was not adequately replaced.

I think a voice or two from outside the Radar bubble would do him the world of good.
Funny you mention Pep as he for two months was losing on a regular basis and he had no idea how to stop that too.

Confidence is also huge a couple of defeats can turn into a slippery slope look at Arsenal now.

You can be a good coach like Pep/Arteta as an example but at times not much you can do if your players arent able to perform plus these two like to jump about like loons too so cant throw hands in pockets jibe either !

As the saying goes its better to be a lucky coach than a good one.
