After the dissapointing result at Crawley I still believe that it would be wrong to change the Head Coach with 10 games left of the season.

A new coach wouldn't know the players at all and a new coach at this late stage doesn't always work anyway. It would be taking a huge gamble by Notts if they did make the change.

We have to stick with Stuart and support him and the team to get the six points that will ensure we are safe.

The results are very disappointing to say the least, are we really safe from relegation? I really hope we are and that we can find a win from somewhere to get our confidence back, should Maynard be sacked? In my opinion it would be the wrong decision now, let’s see how things are at the end of the season, last night I thought we were unlucky and had we had 11 players on the pitch we could have won. Keep the faith.

I think we're safe without another point. Sutton need to win 7 of their last 8 to catch up and Forest Green need 5 wins from 9 to catch us but still have to play all of the current top 5, 3 of them away. Although I hope it isn;t a winner takes all final day!!

Play offs have gone which may take some pressure off Maynard and he can work with the recruitment team in assessing which players are good enough to stay next season and where do we need new faces.

We were pretty carefree in issuing contracts last summer so we may need to negotiate to get some players out.

My one concern is that Maynard is just the unluckiest manager. Disallowed 'goals' at Mansfield and Wrexham, Macca missing chances he'd normally convert, etc.

The longer Notts go on with out a result  the more pressure Maynard is going to come under  in fact he must be under huge pressure now, and this can't be helping him to do his job right. Why did he take off Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley last night?  Why does he persist in playing Macca on his own up front? Eventually even his supporters are going to run out of excuses for him.  Rumours are already starting to fly, he's lost the dressing room players are falling out with each other and have fallen out with him. If this is the case then the Owners Not the CEO need to sort this out because the only thing that will happen is Chaos, and it will end up destroying the atmosphere and well being within the Club  and this will be reflected on the pitch, well it's being reflected there already. I wonder if we'll see Jim O'Brien back in the Dug Out before the season's end?

We have to face it, Jodi is great going forward but his defensive prowess isn't good. Crowley is an attacking midfielder so the changes made sense & Macaulay was kept on until the last minute to try to get a goal back. He was probably taken off to save him for Saturday. That made sense too.

If you are down to 10 men with a lead, most managers would shut up shop. Trouble is, these players cannot or are reluctant to shut up shop. That's not good

And those Rumours are only Rumours and even if they were true that would be a very poor show from the players.

If they are not giving 100% then they shouldn't be playing for Notts.

Maynard has a Three and a half year contract. It would cost Notts to sack him at such an early stage.

The issuing of those contracts apart from, for example, Jodi Jones & Macari, has proved a costly mistake. Langstaff missed two guilt head chances against Crawley too

Yes they are just rumours but as the saying goes there's No Smoke without Fire. Luke Williams departure started as a rumour and there have been rumours over the  years that have turned out to be true, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.  Having attacking players such as Jodi and Macca  defending is wrong they shouldn't have to defend that's what the defence is for and hand on heart, there are players at Notts who are Not League 2 standard. Yes getting rid of Stuart Maynard will cost the club, but only in the short term, because if  Fans start deserting in their thousands then that could cost the Club in the long term and we certainly don't want a repeat of the Hardy  era. Like it or not there are a lot of fair weather fans that have jumped on the Notts success band wagon and now the Magpies are not winning matches they will start to trickle away and unless things are sorted and quickly that trickle could turn into a flood. I don't like sounding all Doom and Gloom but this is how I see things at the Lane at the moment.

@Wheelbarrow repair man I agree with you that there are players who are not good enough for this league, I would estimate half the squad isn't good enough which is a large amount.

It was a big mistake by Luke to retain players last summer who were not good enough. That has proved to come back to bite Notts big time.

I believe Stuart should be retained until he has been allowed to rebuild the squad in the summer and only dismissed if results are poor at the beginning of next season.

As far as the fans are concerned, the club welcomes everyone, however the true fan who sticks with Notts thru thick and thin will always be the core of it's support & Notts will want to build on that core support which will always remain stable.
