On a personal note for Ardley, this must be a truly demoralising season: I think his recent combined league record for Notts and Wimbledon is played 22, won 2, drawn 4, lost 16. Horrible stats that would depress anyone. Allied to the fact that he’s living away from home in what look like student digs, I wouldn’t be surprised if he walks away this season if/when we go down.
