Agree about the individual game, I'm holding off from commenting during the game these days as like you say it can result in egg on face plus I genuinely don't know which Notts will turn up most games. True the style is the same but some games it works better than others. The 3 points for me is always the most important thing as performances can improve with the confidence a win gives you.Quote:

I would like to put to him he's had 2 summer windows and last January to put the meat and bones in place of "his" team, is he satisfied with how the team plays, the defence, the chances created, the slow play which allows opposition to reset. I think the trouble is with Ardley is every game brings up more questions for me than answers.
Yeah I'm sure lots would have some really good questions for him, and he would provide interesting thoughtful answers. Would like to hear his answers to your questions.
"I like having a manager who can build over seasons if he's the right one." - sorry to hear that man. Being a Notts fan we've got to go all the way back to Big Sam for that. Depressing
Yeah we've had some bad ones there's no denying and maybe a couple who should have been given time but weren't. If we can show some consistency over the next few games then no reason this season can't be a good one still.
Finally, an answer to the question: What would it sound like if John Shuttleworth took up football commentary.Quote:

Actually, it was really good to be able to review the goals with both home and away commentary. The "Oh my dear" from the home commentator when we equalised had a sort of resigned inevitability about it, but I don't know how he avoided an expletive when Wootton scored!Quote:

I was thinking the same. It doesn't matter that we hadn't played well and the win could be described as fortunate, but these things only happen very occasionally. You are resigned to a dismal drive home thinking you've come away from a game against relegation fodder with nothing, but then you get a stoppage time equaliser which makes the journey back at least palatable. You then go on to get a stoppage time winner and the world is a wonderful place, and the drive back home can't last long enough. Even red traffic lights are ok!Quote:

Agreed. Couldn't understand that someone was saying you couldn't celebrate a win like that. For me, it was a great feeling on Saturday, however poor we had played.Quote:
