Mark Ellis, AKA...The Rock

[queenslandpie]

We kept a lot fewer cleansheets since NA was sacked so this correct coaching hasnt worked on our defence has it????

Its worked on our chances of promotion though hasn't it!

[laddo]

I appreciate what your saying lasso
But as far as I call it,it’s been simply down to players attitudes,no matter what system or manager..
If you give 100%then you have every chance of winning,anything less then your in trouble.

Lasso, Laddo, it's all good

I disagree but if you are right and it's down to the players attitudes solely and previously they gave 80% and now are giving 95% and the only change between the two is the manager/head coach then...........

[matt_magpie]

I felt they always gave 100% under Ardley, tbf they are a pretty hard working team. It was only a few games ago and we were saying they were even worse than under NA. I think it’s a case of playing slightly more expansive, they have got their rewards and now their tails are up.

Oh no not the respect a point brigade!

How about you respect the fans and try to offer them entertainment and goals. Don't think I've ever disliked a manager more than NA, he made following Notts a chore and not something to look forward to.

If we're gonna lose, then by god have good go doing so.

You're more reliant on clean sheets if you can only score 1 goal a game. IB side has shown it can score more than 1 goal a game more regularly

I think you misunderstand me. I completely agree with you although I would not call him dislikeable. More entirely predictable. Having 'Ardley as manager was like watching mainstream TV with the one good program banned ( in his case being the Rise and Fall of Callum Roberts) and once opposition managers worked that out it was time to subscribe to Netflix!

All of these Ardley signings now beginning to bear fruit with the correct coaching.

If you actually believe we can win the playoffs conceding an average of two goals a game you are so niave. I should remind you we finished 3rd last season under NA we wont do that this season. Its no point playing 3 at the back if 2 of them are fullbacks??
Anyone who watched the game last night saw Brinds and Chiksen done in the air over abd over. We got away with it last night we wont in the play offs. Ellis is leading a charmed life. Two goals conceded on average in every game he has played in, that is the reality of the situation. Can we win the playoffs with that stat....... no of course we cant.
