THE Ardley In/Out Thread [Multiple threads merged]

So one person. Who hasn't or has hardly ever posted before. Sounds conclusive to me

I note he said "better" not "best" there's a difference. I think he's better than some but certainly worse than others.

As for this season we are edging closer to that magical 10 game mark. Happy days

And that’s the best argument you have for being wrong?

Why don’t you just take it on the chin or say you didn’t see it?

And it’s your 10 game mark chap. Whilst where we are might give a clue.

It’s promotion or bust for me, that’s all that matters.

I reckon you have a serious drinking problem. and we all know you had to take some time away from NCM to deal with some "problems".

Glad you seem better

Seems a tad harsh

The situation surrounding Ardley is now really simple ( as long as COVID doesn't end the season early). He has no room for excuses now and he has been very well backed. We are either right up there in the mix challenging all season and he keeps on going. On the whole so far so good then. If we aren't we get rid. If that reedtz brothers don't execute that then I'll be a little surprised as he's has his cake walk and how its real deal time.

This^^^

Ardley himself has said, no excuses this season. Promo or off for Mr A this season, nothing less will do.

My thoughts exactly, sounds fair to me

Right lads and lasses, that's enough of the personal insults please. Let's celebrate three wins on the bounce and try to remain civil in the process.

Ta!

Agreed Swale , always disappointed to read the random personal insult aimed at anyone on here. But all water off a ducks back to me.

If you are going to start a water fight be prepared to get wet

Reading this thread I am going to upset a lot of you but I want to put my opinion because I think just because we have won 3 in a row people are getting rose tinted glasses. The facts as I see it are
1. We are the biggest and best backed team in the league as a result we should easily dominate most teams.
2. We played badly at Dover and lost 1-0 and we played badly last night and won 1-0 whilst Dover were getting thrashed at home, so we were poor and got unlucky and then lucky in two away games, whilst the true standard of our victors was revealed.
4. Against Barnet we had a lucky escape as in my opinion we were completely flattered by a woefully badly organised opposition. Look back at the video their defence was all over the place in the first half and gave Notts chances they should not have had which flattered them. I think Ardley later admitted as much.
5. Both away games were played in poor conditions on less than ideal pitches, but as a top rated team we seemed to be unable to adjust our tactics to cope with and to dominate the opposition and in the second half on Saturday after Barnet got organised we seemed to struggle to be able to contain them.
I do not want Ardley or Notts to fail but I cannot see from the evidence so far we have a manager who will take us forward with tactically astute decisions to turn matches we are struggling with and he has already proved, in my opinion, that in high pressure must win situations he cannot get the team to rise to the occasion. We have the best and probably the most expensive set of players and if well organised should run away with this league. Give him his ten matches and if we have 20 points, or more, then clearly I am wrong but I have no faith it will happen. Just my opinion and I now await the ridicule.

All fair comment.

My opinion is similar.

Welcome to the pitchfork brigade, I'm sure your name has been added!

"we should easily dominate most teams." Is this reality?? Liverpool have just lost 7-2 but you think Notts County should "easily" dominate teams.

"I have no faith" It's a bit sad you don't have any faith after three wins on the bounce. How many wins would it take 15 or 20?

There is so much in your post that I would like to take issue with but I don't think it would be well spent energy.

If, by hook or by crook, should Notts win/grind their way back into the football league, would you enjoy it? or just say they should have done it by January!

So no ridicule from me, just a slightly puzzled bewilderment by your depressed persona.

As we say here, Live the dream!
