⚽Match Thread vs. AFC Wimbledon 09.03.24 [EFL L2]

We are so lightweight in every area, including management, it’s unbelievable.
Wimbledon haven’t been great. We’ve been sh ite. As usual.

Even in the relegation season, I can’t remember too many games where I left early. Today is another one to add to the list. Shocking. Boring. Unimaginative.

Get rid of Maynard. Admit the balls up. Bring in an experienced, hard man manager and give him the reigns. Light a fecking fire under these players.

If the owners do not act tonight, questions need to be asked of our owners

While I understand the need to get rid of Maynard now, I really don't see the point until the end of the season. While Maynard seemingly hasn't got a clue, the players have also shown themselves to be either completely disinterested or simply not up to the required standards since LW left, and I cant see what a new manager will be able to do to change that.

The owners surely have to be bold and act tonight!! Warnock is available and will get this shower if ****e into some sort of shape.

If the owners were bold, they wouldn't have hired Maynard in the first place. I think they're a bit scared of Warnock, tbh. Either that or his likely requirement to have more input on transfers would have put Montague's nose out of joint.

To save face, they could tell us how great Maynard will be in the long term and hire Warnock as his mentor, but that didn't work with Sergeant Wilko.

Well Warnock is a Manager in the true sense - not a head coach. He takes total responsibility for signing and recruiting players etc - so i doubt he would have come to Notts. I think he has turned other clubs down in the past- saying he makes the decisions - not the board etc

Is it the players though I mean if they are being asked to do different roles / tactics each week then its bound to confuse you.

The best managers keep it simple.

If he's still here next season, as soon as we wobble the fans will lose all confidence in him again. I very much doubt he can recover from a start as bad as this.

He cant be here as if we have a Nolan start we are bang in trouble

We need to get rid of Montague, Maynard and half this team. Huge, huge rebuild needed this close season

Very much agree but in reverse order and perhaps not all at the same time.

This clown is absolutely killing us.

We would never take Warnock on as he doesn't play the way the owners want. They are clueless too.
