The Glovers v THE IMPROVING MAGGIES

Posted by M64 on March 21, 2021, 12:24 pm

Well Mr Ardley proved you all wrong, all you doubters. I have been saying all along, Ardley is the first manager that we have had in a long time that has more than one plan up his sleeve and he is the first manager that we have had who can read a game and change tactics accordingly during it if things are not going well.

He's an ex=premier player (I know that does not necessarily make good managers, Harry Kewell we all know) but he can read a game really well.

I hope everybody heard why he is playing Enzio at right wing back, who by the way had a great game.

I cannot remember once when they tip toed it out from the back, we pressed higher up the pitch, the work rate was exceptional, Effiong improved again, (could not get worse, granted) but the signs are that we may have turned a corner without losing an inordinate amount of points and I put that down to the flexibility of the manager.

I do think we were lucky on a couple of occasions where we closed the door to their forwards at the last second but honestly, Mrs Slocombe had hardly anything to do.

Same again on Tuesday, 1-0 will do for me.

We are on the up....

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...GRRRRRRR

A very good result against a team we normally have problems with.
Carry on into tomorrow then.
2-0 again for Notts.

I told him to change tactics and keep Obrien in the team so NOT just Ardley being great!!! Maybe the players had a say in it too. Not sure about this one, thinking 1-1 but going to curse everything and go for a 2-1 win. Cmon Notts put it together when we most need it. Would keep the same team but change Doyle for Rodders or DKE who can switch with Enzio and switch Reeves to Doyle's spot. Never going to happen but hey ho. Oh and Lacey for Turner due to injury.
Regards

Saturday 2-0 win = wahoo
Improved performance = yay
NA being a master tactician etc = jury still out.

Why is the jury still out? Did NAs tactics win Notts the match? NO! As so often it was two moments of magic/ luck that provided the goals! So, maybe NA was right as it is something he's often mentioned in post match interviews how we just need a bit of one or the other! Pity that we can't rely on this happening every match.

Will the super (cough)Magpies do the same tonight? I hope so but as a team we have to stop relying on "possible goal of the months" and more of the off the backside in a scrappy 6 yard box tussle like Alan Clarke back in the day.

I will go for 1-1 draw purely because I expect County to win 4-0 and me being optimistic usually doesn't end well :/
