Had Maynard replaced Williams mid-way through the promotion season and screwed it up to the point of missing out on the play offs, condemning us to another year in the NL, you'd have had some people making excuses on the basis we never genuinely looked like going up under LW, that we only won 1 of the opening four games, lost to Dorking and that LW could not have kept winning with that defence.
