Straw poll: Maynard in or out?

[slack_pie]

I think it’s just a little early for the ‘I told you so’ posts.

I will be absolutely delighted if I’m wrong and Stuart Maynard leads us to promotion. However 6 games is far too early to make a judgment as to whether or not he’s learned to from his mistakes.

I hope he has.

Sure, we're only six games into the season. But if it's too early to say "I told you so" with us sitting unbeaten at the top of the table, it was also too early to say "sack him!" last season.

For what it's worth, I'm pleased we stuck with him, and I think we'll do well this season based on what I've seen so far. But one thing's certain: we'll have a bad run of games sooner or later, and the same lot will come out the woodwork and claim he's not up to the job.

Like I said, I'm just glad the bros are running the show and now us fans.

I have resisted any "I told you so" posts before. But The_Pie_Man, you are seriously tempting me!

I/we.... can't resist.

Sounds like you want your pie and eat it Pie Man. You were happy to say the majority on here didn’t have a clue with the consensus they were saying let’s set how the transfer window turns out and actually see what these players were like but you had wrote them off before a ball was kicked in anger. Now they’ve had a good start we need to assess at Christmas??
I’m not even saying we’re going to go on and get promoted but surely you can see the irony?

‘It’s a game of onions’

Do you think Maynard should have got the chop?

That's a shallot to think about.

I was and still am a Maynard in man. I get to away games in the frozen north when I can. Watching us at Tranmere before Williams left it was apparent we had some serious issues going on which were partly player ability related and tactic related. When I saw us at Bradford there was a 30 minute spell where we were pretty much untouchable and I could see the potential for the team. I’ve watched the sky feeds that have been on and the difference this year to last is we have a bit more grit and determination to battle rather than folding like a cheap suit like we did last year. The good teams always seem to have a way of winning even when playing below par. Hopefully I’ll be at Morecambe and Carlisle depending on tickets.

He'd had 12 games in charge at that point, double the amount this season so far. I should have posted the 12 game current form table, which we were also rock bottom of. And we went on to lose the next game after this thread began and drew the one after that.
Let's not forget also that Fullarton was sacked with a better record than Maynard after the same number played.

Ok id assumed it was 8 games. We're unbeaten in 7 so far. Just shows how ***** it is to give a new manager a pre season to show his worth. Fullerton was in the Trew era and you could get sacked for farting in the wrong direction in those days. So glad we have a much more professional set up now.

Why ? It must be pretty obvious even with your limited football knowledge that Stuart proved what he is capable of given the right tools

Hindsight is a wonderful thing - Whist I obviously don't want him sacked on the one extreme, I'll refrain from singing his praises from the rooftops on the other just yet. He's made a solid start, far better then I expected and for that he deserves a lot of credit, I especially like the subs/formation changes he makes early on when the game is still there to be won, not when it's too late. His interviews are still a little dull but he can only answer the questions he's given - He's winning me over week on week, long may it continue.
