It can only be the manager, can't it? What other reason can there be for players brought in by Marmite to change from being effective at their last club to being really average, or worse, when they come under his influence, then back to decent players when they leave? I strongly suspect the positive play and goals scored by Notts occur when two or three players abandon Ardley's caucus race. They use their own footballing experience to abandon the caution of looking for someone in space - there isn't anybody there - or passing the ball back into minefield, and just have a go at it.

If Dear Leader thinks we can top this league by playing a la Man. City he ought to try buying millionaire players but I reckon he would turn them into non-league stuff within a month.
