The NL was fun in the last few weeks of our first season, when we put a run together to avoid relegation. Apart from that, it really has been poor to dire.
Not able to listen to Stoneslive today, but already looks like we are a long way from being a team.
No doubt someone can tell us, so wonder just how many players Harry has used this season, how many he has brought in and how many he has moved on? And all for three fifths of five eighths of not very much.
On paper, we now appear to have a decent squad. Trouble is, he's taken so long assembling, reassembling, dismantling it, nobody, least of all the players themselves, seems to know what they are doing. Harry now has a week to practice for the game at Woking, which, let's face it, really doesn't matter much. What does matter is the home match v Gateshead. 'Must win game' is a bit of a cliche of course, but it really must be, or he'll have to go.

Had family stuff on so didn’t keep up with the game blar....
Googled the score just now and didn’t even get the hump, I just did a sarcastic laugh and eye role!!
I had great hope for our new management team, however although I believe Harry is a good coach on the training ground, I know his tactics on the pitch are that of an inexperienced manager trying his hardest, but failing miserably!! We have swapped a young manager who had 2 seasons experiance at this level for an even younger one with none!
This Experimant is failing! The owners took a risk which could quite easily have paid off, but here we are!
How Harry is making a squad this good as individuals fail so badly as a team is very daming!
We are playing direct football, just direct to the National South!
Bring on the beer in the Elvis end 👍🏻

Interesting summary about himself on his linkedin profile
''I have a wide range of coaching experience with various types of players and can get them all working well together in the same environment. I class man management and tactical knowledge as my best assets.''
So far I've yet to see any of that at Maidstone.

When applying for any job where the applicant does not have the relevant experiance he/she requires they must bullshit their way past the interviewers!
Sometimes lack of experience doesn’t matter once they start and everyone is happy!
More often than not that person is found wanting and the risk on behalf of the interviewer turns out to be a risk they shouldn’t have taken!
I can only assume the other applicants were pretty bad considering how much Harry stood out!
Are we sure Harry is not someone’s nephew upstsirs 🤔

Myself included went into the meeting unhappy with the appointment and he won me around.....he's got the ''gift of the gab'' as you'd say and sadly our owners fell for it. What we have now is someone who is clearly in well over his head and he's desperately trying to save his arse. I don't doubt he is a decent coach & he seems to be able to sign some decent players, but manager wise getting them to actually play as a team he looks to not have a clue what he's doing. |

He said "judge us at the end of December" Well he's got 3 weeks left!
I wait with baited breath for the turnaround- Will it be in results or Manager
Two weeks back I left a game early for the first time; today I left Stones live early!!

Hoofball into a 40mph headwind. New players starting, best players left on the bench. Usual soft goal, usual lack of goals in reply. 23 games left to get 31 points. Four places lower in the table than when Jay went.
Give me until December.
Checks calendar.

Does that mean he's failed and has to resign? (This is humour, before the anti-Jay brigade start up...) |

No sir this is not humour it's real and it's time for Harry to go and go now. He is clueless and anyone that cannot see this after nearly 4 months is living next door to Harry in cloud cuckoo land. The money being spent on their wages is just not being justified especially the shrink . Let's get somebody experienced in and get him now though it may already be too late to save us. |

We have the players, but what we don't have is a team. If the owners sack Harry now, you'd think anyone new coming in would have a chance, because these players are strong enough and fit enough to cope in this league.
Replacing the manager again after only a few games now looks the only way to avoid relegation, only this time, it must be someone who fits Bill's original person specification. NLP experience or better. That way, the money spent will not have been wasted.
Leave it until January and we go down. Key players will leave and it will be yet another different team required.
Put the man out of his misery and let his legacy be that at least he brought in some decent players, even if he didn't know how to use them.
