Thankfully the Ardley IN/OUT is dead (until at least the end of the season)
RIP.
Good questions, good replies to date. The answer is probably well beyond all our means as we aren't qualified but great to hear everyone's thoughts. It certainly made me view things a little differently.

I think the problem with Doyle is that he can only contribute at one end of the pitch, due to his lack of ability to get up & down the pitch at a half decent speed.
He cleary has all the technical abilities for this level and I like the fact that he is someone who is willing to use the dark arts, something I think we should do more of, but if someone runs off past him then he isn't getting back before the attack is over. Which means he can not afford to get up around the opposition box as much as a CM needs to if you are playing 2 in the centre.
I respect the way Ardley tries to get us to pass the ball around and be patient. If they don't have the ball they can't score but we need to be doing it a further 20 yards up the pitch, at the moment you can pass through the lines and one of our guys can go past someone but they are still to far from goal to make something truly happen. If that doesn't work though lump it up to a big f**ker! Look at the size of Effiong & Turner, why not if we are behind with 10 mins to go put them in the box and give them a chance to cause choas, even Guardiola at Barca wasn't afriad to do this if needed.

The facts are last season we scored plenty of goals and the first 10 games of this season with the same tactics. It’s been the last 10 or so games we have struggled, it happens, it’s a long old season and hopefully they can get it right.
