Will SM take us to promotion?

[queenslandpie]

Leaders. We're lacking leaders. I don't mean players who are 6ft and abuse everyone in sight. But players who have the courage to try something out of the ordinary - think Bostock or Crowley. We're still without McGoldrick and "minor setback" sounds like PR to me with regards to Jones so I don't know who will step up in the meantime but something needs adjusting.

Too many happy to stick to the plan and just keep the ball without any penetration.

With regards to Maynard it reeks of the same lethargy and staleness that saw last season fizzle out by April. A coach's role is to get the best out of the players (see Chicksen under Williams) he's been given and I'm sorry to say but if the only way he can produce results is with everyone fit then he needs to step aside.

Chicksen under Williams was a delight in non league and average in L2. But he did get the best out of him. He definitely did not get the best out of Baldwin who is doing fantastic things at Bradford. Managers are chalk and cheese at this level. Maynard won't manage much higher, Williams reached his zenith at Swansea is my prediction. Football Radar is about "value" and getting the best out of not a lot. There will be negative vibes if we do not push on next season but I reckon we will. Year too early. Under Maynard? Not sure.

[MagpieMeltdown]

He has created a team with no movement, no pace, no vision, no physical presence and playing a system that clearly DOES not work. We had nearly 70% possession in the first half with no shots on goal. .FFS
We have 12 games left to rescue our season, keeping him would all but end our chances of promotion. Attendances are dropping, fans have had enough of watching this boring drivel every home game. Get him out now whilst we still have a chance of the 3rd promotion place..

This is where I?m at. Get someone in, kick them up the ar$e and grab the last 12 games (or more) by the scruff of the neck - that may or may not result in promotion but at least it?ll give us a fighting chance.

Keeping him is terminal to our chances but I feel our unambitious owners will do exactly that as we fester for another season and crowds plummet.

[SmiffyPie]

He has neither the squad nor the 100% promotion intent from the board (yes I know, stability, the plan, good owners). And I think his inexperience is beginning to show in how he deals with the crap hand he has been dealt. Unless DM, JJ. SA come back soon, and come back able to see the season out, there is very little chance of promotion although we may cling on to PO's.

[matt_magpie]

I honestly think to a few games ago he?d done pretty well with a lot of injuries to get us where we were.
Now Didzy is out and JJ still out and Crowley not replaced with anyone showing anything I think he?s got a tough hand.
If he does get us in the top 3 now I think he should be applauded by everyone. Playoffs feels the natural position now for this squad and anything lower and I think he?s failed and will probably go.
Just got to enjoy the season, results went our way last night which shows most teams are in the same boat as us

[Chicken Balti Pie]

He's not good enough. He waited until we were two nil down to switch formation. It was obvious in the first half we needed to go four at the back and play out and out wingers.

When Jarvis went off (being injured for a good 5 mins before hand) he bought on Grant when Tsaroulla was the perfect candidate.

He doesn't have a clue as to how best utilise the squad at his disposal

[legs77]

He is clueless. Too much chopping and changing, and we need to ditch this wingback crap and revert to a back 4.. He will be gone by the end of the season.

We cant do that though as the recruitment is geared towards a back 3 and wing backs.

Its clear the recruitment hasnt been great too many injury prone players bought which piles pressure on the others.

He played an 11 that most would say was our best maybe not Jarvis so it cant all but put on one person.

Its a collective effort and maybe we arent as good as people think we are you are not guilty of this but ive seen some suggest "We are best team in league" which imo we arent.

We dont have any natural wing backs. All we do is to convert players into that position, and it clearly doesn't work. Jarvis for example came to us as an attacking wide player, we have now removed all of those qualities by trying to convert him into a wing back. Like Nemane before, him he cannot defend, so why the **ck do we keep on with this ridiculous tactic..
This wingback system clearly doesn't work for us. We have gone from an attack minded team into slow laborious bunch of crap, orchestrated by a complete idiot..

We do have wing backs from Crawley but both are crap.

Yes but remember that attack minded team was also led by another complete idiot right ?,
😂

Maynard isn?t an idiot it?s insulting to say it really when you would have zero clue yourself if in the dugout the fact is we just aren?t that good.

It?s got to the stage now with some fans if we don?t get promoted then head coach should be sacked it?s no wonder managers/players leave if they get a better offer you are only a month or so away from being labelled useless or an idiot I?d do the same in their shoes too it?s only a job to them.

You forget that we were playing non-league football, and we had players who where scoring goals just for fun...
