Interview with Ardley

[Kelton]

I have to say the interview and especially Ardleys body language nearly made me fall asleep. If the play offs happen we wont win them. Is Mr Motivator still alive?

No idea why you are so negative on our chances in any play offs. Its not based on our most recent form..... we are top on that score incl spanking Barrow. Its not based on our squad...... we have the best. Its not based on our experience..... we have the edge on that score.
I have to assume its just the continuation of the doom and gloom mentality some have plagued this forum with wether we win or lose.
For me, I think we will comfortably win any proposed play off format.

All that he says is very measured, thought out and probably correct. It would just be nice to see him rubbing his hands with glee at the chance to get his side up and running again. All the other teams are in the same boat as far as match fitness etc and if anything we look to be in a better position than most. I don't want to watch a video that leaves me flat and hope he doesn't have that affect on his players. There is not the time left to be "slow and steady" it the season restarts, similarly there wasn't the time to be "slow and steady" when he arrived in the first place.

He looks fresher from the break, seems to have found some opportunity to spend with his family and I was hoping to see a bit more bounce in his step.

This is about Ardley and his ability to motivate the team. If there are no supporters in the stands it's going to be all down to him if heads drop going into the break or extra time.

I don't expect him to be hyper when we still aren't sure these games will go ahead, but the last two interviews are just typical of the man. Almost every interview he's ever done rivals McP's "Rochdale are 5 years ahead of us" for shattering any belief that this club might actually turn the corner one day.
