There's a reason Harrogate weren't playing him.

The players were clearly feeling comfortable with the 4-2-3-1, unsurprisingly given the personnel we have, and the results were coming. If we don't win tonight, you have to question why Ardley changed a winning formula.

Spot on. Ardley gives these teams far too much respect.

Yes I agree. A change was needed on the hour. Rodrigues looking lively so we still have time.

Sam on for JOB

Don’t forget about COVID. We’ve been hard hit by that. And last season the clubs were a shambles at the start, so there was that. And the season before Ardley only took over in November, we were pretty much relegated already at that point, nothing he could do.

I wonder what he’ll say tonight? My bet is he’ll say players are still upset about Maradona dying.

1 goal in 3 games as it stands...come on boys

I'm hoping he'll say thank goodness for those two late goals from Rodrigues and Sam ;)

Cant see it happening tonight. Boreham Wood defence pretty solid and their keeper is good

11 points behind Torquay if we lose this. That's mental.
