Despite the hard work, the favourable midseason streak, and solid summer moves to shore up the back line, this season will still be viewed as an underperformance. Yes, the players may feel jaded and slightly disheartened, especially under a manager who comes across as a laid-back, easygoing teacher coasting through terms, but ultimately, he is the one accountable for how we?re performing across the league. People will say that they won't sack, but they did with Ardley once they had a better alternative, and my guess is that will be the case after next week's 2-1 loss at Wimbledon.
