A worthy look, even if to revisit

I think that this interview is one of the best I've seen involving Stuart Maynard. Very revealing and demonstrates why the Reedtz brothers value him so highly.

He's totally different to what we saw with Luke Williams. Stuart has certainly made big tweaks in the Notts style since Williams left and it is certainly showing dividends defensively.

If Notts hadn't had so many injuries who knows where Notts may have been in the league table after 18 games?

I suspect that Notts would have easily have been in the top two. It is a credit to Stuart and his team that Notts have been able to remain competitive despite the injuries to his key players.

I agree with @Robbie its a great interview by Stuart and shows he has a great knowledge of the game and talks very well. I believe we have ourselves another great manager who has definitely filled the boots of Luke Williams very admirably, I hope he's here a long time and has lots of success with us.

Thanks for sharing the video @Piethagoram

Just in time for the Salford game.

This is why I am starting to feel Stuart Maynard isn't the right person to move us forward, if he was paying attention. The first goal Salford scored, that was the time we needed to instruct the players to approach the game differently. I am not one of those people who will boo or call for his head, I will give my support but there's one thing talking about knowing what passes to make before a game is played, and understanding how teams will press - but not adapting in-game shows a weakness. Yes, he's had injuries but Jatta never looked like he would score against Salford. David McGoldrick should have stayed on, Jatta should have been taken off.

Some managers have the ability to rally weakened squads even when things are hard and I just don't see it. I want Maynard to succeed, but I don't think it's likely and my faith in turning this difficult times into a better outcome is slim.

If we are aiming for promotion, by accepting that we are falling out of the playoffs - we are undoing our ambition to progress as a club.

January will be a big factor in Maynard's reign, but if we don't start to pick up points then it's only going to get harder. It's a good interview, but it's talk and right now it doesn't show anything being put into practice. Even with the injuries, we should still be able to avoid some of the poor results we have had. I am concerned that we aren't making the progress we should, but I do hope we can see-out December with better form.
