Recall an away defeat at Luton when it felt like civil war was about to break out in the away end - and sacking Murphy seemed like the only possible solution. Second time was during the Fullarton era, which just seemed like a horrible act of self-sabotage by the Trews that I just wanted to be over.
I’ve never felt anything like that with Ardley, though I’m sure the lack of crowds at games is keeping quite a few managers in jobs for longer than would have happened in the “old days”.
Interesting to note, finally, that Yeovil are currently bottom of the league and Wealdstone are second. Strange times.
