Maynard out?

[Mud Pie]

I think he should go.

I acknowledge the difficulties with the squad and back room staff this season but we aren?t winning, playing exciting football, and are just generally passive and one dimensional, and that sits on the coaches shoulders. He hasn?t tried anything different or appear to have any motivational spark to ignite the players or fans alike.

Today was the prime example. 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes to go to save our season and we did absolutely nothing different. I don?t think he is necessarily stubborn, but just not experienced or good enough to manage a club of our size.

What is even more frustrating that the ending to this season has seemed so glaringly obvious for the last few months and nothing has changed, in fact it has gotten worse. I felt no nerves or excitement in the build up these last few games because I felt I knew exactly what would happen and how we would play, and unfortunately that?s exactly how it has panned out.

It is difficult to see a scenario now where we go into next season where more than a handful of people would be happy to see SM in the dugout.

totally sums up where I'm at too.

We invested well in defence, so there are measurable improvements on last season if you go looking for them. Overall though, the quality of our football has just tanked.

We COULD have won the first playoff leg, but were gamed out by the better coach. Today was just a gelatinous blob. Zero personality to Maynard's Notts. Didzy and Abbott just muddy the waters over the season, because they've been able to perform without coaching. When you need a coach (or a vibrant leader on the pitch) to spark a comeback like today, the whole thing just flubs in the grass, like today.

eta: I remember wondering what Maynard's version of the Bros Notts identity was going to look like after such a strong leader as Williams. And the answer is style-less, identity-less, beige.
