His conservative style and defensivel approach at Notts to date backs up your statement to some degree.

Only time will tell come end of the season when it's all said and done.
Ardley barely did that, his performance has been usually average at best

It took him 3 seasons to get Wimbledon promoted , and when he did, they were not really promotion candidates, finished 5th or 6th then went up in the play offs, so you could say slightly lucky
Then when he got them up, they struggled for 3 seasons, barely staving off relegation each season
