    Boxing Day: - 26th December

    played everyone in their proper positions and won again. Let’s hope Maynard’s learnt his lesson here. Palmer, Abbott and Crowley superb in the middle. Tsaroulla starting to look like a real player as well now he’s on the left again. Galaxy brain stuff from Lindsay to leave Nemane on the bench...

    There’s no chance he makes changes mainly because we have no-one he trusts to rotate outside of maybe Gordon and Macari. If the likes of Edwards, Grant and Jones start to come back over the next few weeks, that’s when he’ll get funky again.

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    Nolan was a weird one at Notts, on paper it was fairly miraculous what he did taking on a side that had lost about 10 in a row under Sheridan and taking us to the playoffs - but then he followed that up with one of the weirdest starts to a season ever and what looked like a premature sacking to...

    MK vs Notts very much a game where not a single scoreline would surprise me aside from a 0-0 would expect an unchanged team for us.

    Pretty boring game that aside from the 4 minutes of madness where Didzy and Crowley turned it on. Still look a bit disjointed in the middle but the box midfield was an improvement on whatever we’ve been attempting recently. Big Matty Platt as well #pocketed #AndycantCook #FelizMattyPlatt...

    well this certainly looks like a back 3 with Aden Baldwin in it

    Maynard has committed many crimes as manager but Sam Austin’s repeated inclusion really is the smoking gun. What have we done to anger the football gods enough to subject me to watching that terrible footballer every week?

    Baldwin’s back?! Actually looking forward to Saturday now, I’m not sure what it’ll feel like watching him in person for the opposition team, probably the exact same sort of rollercoaster to be honest.

    Meadow Lane could get very toxic. I’m not sure if Maynard’s back is against the wall enough to do anything different or if I’ll have to keep watching Sam Austin impersonating a footballer for another week whilst our back 3 pass the ball to each other and Crowley drops deeper and deeper until...

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

    Burton’s recruitment has been so bad over the last few months I’m half holding out hope they come for Maynard

    We’ve gone off piste here but I absolutely can not help you if you think as a Grimsby fan you didn’t get absolutely battered that night - counting shots is silly, we were all there. You were horrific. Obviously you’re above us, you’d beat us if we played next week as we’re terrible currently...

    Didn’t need to defend that day as you lot never touched the ball. A bit of weird revisionist history on our overachieving at the start of the year, we were generally pretty good but I think everyone rightly noted we were beating poor teams (like Grimsby), cracks started showing against Gills...

    We should but we won’t. I think there’ll be too much stock into the fact we’ve had so many injuries and would we have 6 more points and be in the top 3 if Jones was fit? Probably yeah. I don’t think that’s a reason to keep a manager though, I think your manager should make his mark when your...

    Maynard’s got to go - we’re not even bad at defending anymore now we’ve got decent defenders, we’re just so bad with the ball we’re better at creating chances for the opposition than we are ourselves - that is unacceptable given the players we have. He’s absolutely done in my eyes, and I’m not...

    Very much Maynard’s legacy that. We’ve got some of the best attacking players in the division and yet we have this inane belief that we need our keeper and centre backs to play risky passes in order to create goals Opposition teams have more than wisened up to it as well. There’s no fancy...

    FA Cup 2nd Round

    He’s not remotely close to the owners even contemplating sacking him, nor do I think he deserves it really (despite me saying it most weeks) - I think some of the Notts fans’ frustration is an extension of Burchnall and Williams, some sort of 5 year club obsession around playing nice football...

    FA Cup 2nd Round

    Stuart Maynard has either intentionally thrown this game or he’s the worst manager ever. Either way, he needs to be sacked.

    At least in that game we threw some stuff at them. That was just 90 minutes of slow possession football, of course we ‘dominate’ teams, our entire team are in midfield! We have one legitimate goal threat, Jatta. Everyone else is trying to take 4-5 touches deep. We’ve not been clinical enough...

    This is inexcusable, Newport are so bad. I don’t care how much we’ve dominated, we have to be beating a team this terrible

    convinced at this point that Sam Austin is a social experiment - how long can someone get away with being a professional footballer despite clearly not being one
