So what lesson have been learned

Bleddy right, same old, same old.

Watched last night's game with an Everton fan. He was amazed at my skill in writing the script. After our penalty, he asked 'Who do you play in the next round'
'You really don't know Notts, do you?' I said
'Why?'
'Because in this last 15 minutes, The Fish will definitely equalise and Notts will lose on penalties. I'm sure of it'.
Okay, I wasn't quite right, but he was surprised at my certainty.
It's to do with resilience, you see. It's so long since Notts were truly resilient. You can count on therm to let you down.
And what will you all think when Ardley takes his new team to the play-off final? He is the man we should have stuck with. He would have proved resilient.

Can we stop this rewriting of history with Neal Ardley? He is a lovely guy and it would have been great if he could have got us promoted back to the EFL, but he was a spent force by the time the Reedtz pulled the trigger. Our form from the start of 2021 until his demise a few months later was appalling - there were home games when I felt like calling the Samaritans, we were so abject - the 2-1 defeat against Halifax being just one example where we couldn’t even get out of our own half.

Ardley’s best chance of getting us promoted was the Harrogate final, when we never turned up. After that, it was all downhill. Good luck to the guy, but I’d never want him back. Time to move on.
