Manning 08:26 - Apr 17 with 895 views | PatfromPoole | Played very well last night. Gave us a good balance and was good on the ball. Looked accomplished. Do I win £5? | |

Manning on 11:33 - Apr 17 with 717 views | cocklebreath | He was excellent last night, how did that bloke who brought him down outside box avoid a yellow ? Agree he looks like gnome but when up close he’s surprisingly tall. | |

Manning on 11:51 - Apr 17 with 697 views | 1teeminants | Yes played well. Please just leave that back four alone Russell it’s fine. That was our strongest team he started with last night imo. | |

Manning on 12:12 - Apr 17 with 677 views | Bridders2 | Apart from needlessly giving the ball away at the beginning, I thought he played really well, with a lot of attacking intent. | | | |
Manning on 12:14 - Apr 17 with 673 views | 1885_SFC | He played pretty well last night. That'll be him dropped on Saturday then. And captain Jack will return. | |

Think it would have been his 2nd Yellow, so the ref bottled it. The Preston manager obviously realised this and subbed the player straight after. I thought Manning did well, but to be honest, this was the perfect match for us to bring him in, as the opposition offered very little attacking threat. (1 shot all night, plus a couple of blocked shots I think). Going forward, he made some good runs and linked up well with A Arm, but our left side works better when Fraser is there instead. My only criticisms of Manning were that his final ball was sometimes lacking - a few times Che and others were even pointing to where they wanted the ball, but he ignored them and crossed to nobody at the back stick, or directly to the keeper - and his reluctance to shoot - especially in 2nd half there was plenty of opportunity, but he always passed instead. When he finally shot, he was inches wide, so perhaps it was a confidence or responsibility issue. He did well, but ultimately for him and indeed the whole team, it will probably be a bigger test on Saturday. | |
