Match Thread vs. Altrincham 01.05.21 [NL]

As said above, a typical Ardley performance.
At least IB said, along with most on here, Ruben was the only decent one out there.
Playoffs are now unlikely.
I’d be banging on the owners door on Monday and saying it how it is. IB needs a whole new team.
Even players like Rawlinson look rubbish. Clear the lot out. Start again. Change the philosophy of the club.

It was very much Ardley like performance in all departments. In fairness to IB he needed the players onside early on because play-offs and promotion were still very much a possibility and he was finding his feet - they still are, and he still does. As it looks like both are slipping away (although it would be typical Notts to win the last five) and as he got us playing well against Torquay and Eastleigh we saw glimpses of what he want's from his team. So it was effectively one step forward to take two steps backwards today. That's going to be frustrating and annoying for any manager.

Therefore as more games pass with disappointing results and performances below standard he can tell it how it is because there becomes less to lose and he's probably starting to make his mind up about a lot of these players.

Too many players that are too old, and too many that are not good enough to play for this club that can only play one good game in six or seven.
