THE Ardley In/Out Thread [Multiple threads merged]

Why do you keep banging on about 10 games?! He's had 80. He's useless Laddo and deep down even you know it.

Spot on...hes had a season and a half...
The reason he should go is the manner of our defeats , draws and style of play...we are no further forward.
I dont mind a defeat it's the way lose,played of the park,not creating any or few chances
I was looking for reasons why he should stay I'm not seen any convincing ones as yet.
Give him 10 games if you like,but his style wont change it hasn't in a season and a half..
Why waste 10 games, Dover summed his capabilities up in 90 minutes.

Pedro, the only reason anyone on here can come up with for not sacking him is we keep sacking managers and now is the time to stop. It's not because he is a good manager, not because he has a team of naff players and it's not his fault - he only signed them, and it's not because he's Mr. Nice Guy. No, He's a crap manager, he has a squad that's the envy of the rest of this league and he comes across as a smiley chap because that isn't a smile, it's a rictus grin of inbarrassment - that's when he doesn't looks like a small child sent to bed early.

Lado would give him a 1000 games to prove Ardley is the man, in the end he will have to admit it that he is useless

I said if he doesn't get promoted this season, he should be sacked/let go/not renew contract whatever you want to call it.

KC If the owners aren't going to give him 10 games this season then they should have sacked him during last season before we reached the play off final.

Let them make the decision that only they can. If you want to influence them, wrote a strongly worded letter, include some of Davy's hard facts and stats.

[Davy500]

Yes ok you are right about that if thay are not going to give him 10 games, they should have sacked him last season

There is little doubt in my mind that Ardley should have gone following the disastrous display against Harrogate at Wembley. He has not got a clue how to effect changes in tactics when plan "A" fails. His decision to sub Jim O Brien with only 5 minutes left to play was probably the worst decision he could have made, it left the side one short in defence which probably the catalyst for Dover to go upfield and score their late goal

Opening day does not define a season. We lost to Coventry in 17/18 and Ebbsfleet last season, both of those seasons we made the playoffs. We drew to Colchester in opening day 2018/19 season and got relegated. I'm not in panic mode yet.

That said, I'm not convinced by the recruitment this summer, we've failed to replace Denis and took a Moniz style punt by recruiting a sprinkle of unknown foreigners. I am also not convinced by his tactics (weird diamond formation) and team selections IE leaving Rawlinson and Boldewijn out of the play offs.

I'll give Ardley until the end of November, if we're not sitting at least top 7 at that point then he's got to go.

[pissedoffmagpiesback]

The simple truth is...that we can give this inept manager until November, by when we will be amongst the battle for survival. or act now, before it is too late....

You wasting your time mate , they would probably defend Ardley if we were relegated again , especially if the Danes put the club up for sale haha

Yes i am baffled by Ardleys ideas into bringing subs on, what was the point in subbing o brien at 85 minutes
Same in the play off final, even though we were up agianst it, Ardley made no subs till half time
He seems to have no idea, how to change tactics, if things dont go to plan

I agree with you. Whilst losing on the opening day does not define a season if we want to go one better this season and avoid the playoffs and get automatically promoted as champions then based on the past five seasons we can’t really afford to lose on average more than 7-8 games this season.

19/20 Barrow - 9 defeats (over 37 games)
18/19 Leyton Orient - 7 defeats
17/18 Macclesfield - 8 defeats
16/17 Lincoln City - 7 defeats
15/16 Cheltenham - 5 defeats
14/15 Barnet - 10 defeats

It really is that tough. I know yesterday was only one game and one defeat but over a season title winners on average can only afford to lose 1 in 6 games.

So ideally after an opening day defeat we need to remain unbeaten in the next five games against Altrincham, Barnet, Sutton Utd, Maidstone and Halifax.

The pressure is constantly on if you want to get automatically promoted out of this league
