    Crawford has shown he is a play maker and is prepared to to put his foot in and make tackles in midfield.

    Yeah I think Crawford has been criminally underused. Played last season so can handle himself, has played well when he's played for us bearing in mind his age and yet we churn out that same old crap every week.

    Happy with Ardley, about as good as we could expect and for me a better appointment than Nolan or Kewell.

    I welcome Neal Ardley and I hope he is the manager of our club for at least as long as he was at AFC Wimbledon, because that would demonstrate not only that he is enjoying some success, but also that, as a club, we've finally stopped firing managers in panic when it isn't actually necessary.

    I've watched a few interviews with Neal Ardley, having known little about him other than his record before now, and I must say, he comes across as a very likeable and sincere guy. Obviously, results are what managers are judged on, not least by fans, but it helps the process of backing a manager if you rate the bloke as a person.

    Spoken by Alan Hardy:
    "He fits the two essential criteria we identified, too. Firstly, we wanted someone with at least five years’ experience, and secondly we were looking for someone with a promotion on their CV."

    Two attributes missing in recent Notts managers, Ardley has both.

    I entirely echo these comments. I had thought that the departure of HK and NA within hours of each other was directly linked when it clearly wasn't. Nevertheless we have ended up with a proven manager and I am hoping that we all give him the support needed to get our proud club out of its current predicament. I seemed to remember that when Big Sam first came it took him a long time to achieve an away win and fans showed great patience with him and his reign did not turn out too bad leaving aside the disappointing way he departed. Good luck to Neal and welcome to Meadow Lane.
