Better Red

5th best defence in league says different but let’s look at the stats….

Tanner was again quietly going about his business and he has started to look and pass forward much more that must have come from Mannings coaching as did not do that under Nige.

In fact the team as a whole has done that under manning and his coaching has had an impact  so far for me. We look forward much more than under Nige

Just got booed of at half time

If they lose tonight and then to us on Friday got to fancy him for the sack.

He has taken a team looking at the playoffs to a team looking at next season already in about 12 games.

He has been a disaster in terms of results if it was not Rooney would be sacked by now

Pring was superb today but to say he's been solid all season is just plain wrong!

It's only the last month or so he's come back to how he was last season

Do you watch games?

Yes pretty much everyone.

Been pretty decent all season.

Like I said puts the effort in every game I have watched

Pring my MoM 

Kept Asprilla quiet. Got forward and got a goal.  
 

Plays 100% every game. 
 

First choice LB and has been solid all season

If these results are to be “sustainable” Manning needs backing in the window. We were still second best for periods of that game but the spirit we all know is there got us over the line. Over to the hierarchy now…..

Expect 2 or 3 to come in.

Loans and maybe just one perm.

He was very poor yesterday.

Probably do a good job for league 1 team.

Just not good enough at this level.

Lots of effort and likely good in the dressing room but not much else.

Gap filler until we get something better.

Could try him in the 10 role behind the striker like Knight has been playing.

Rotherham, Huddersfield and hopefully Sheff Weds will be shit enough to keep us up.

Plus the start we had under Nige.

Nige will keep us up and he is not even here

Give him the window.

Its so obvious that we need  -

some power/pace up front.

A left footed winger 

And a mobile midfielder would be icing on the cake

That turns this team into a decent team.

Worry about the keeper and another centre half in the summer.

I think Nige would have done above given the chance

If not injured or carrying knocks it was a shock decision and cost us a point

Did well looks good on the ball.

Has looked a good signing thanks Nige…

But he looks so slow at times so needs someone with pace along side him.

In fairness Mehmeti offering more than bell at the moment.

Cornick worth a start but with Conway rather than instead of.

Those subs for me are enough reason to sack him now and cut our loses and just say we got it wrong.

For me he just cost as a point.

He has completely changed the game for the worse.

It was mental management.

Did not look right at the time and looks even worse now

Watch the game change now with those subs…

On top better team.

Takes Skye’s and Knight off best 2 going forward causing all the trouble.

Mental 

We have not worked the goal keeper other than 2 long shots.

We have got behind them maybe twice.

Bell offering nothing upfront.

Need to bring Cornick of for bell and move Knight back a bit and get Sykes out wider.

Otherwise will never score if we play all night

Knight is playing in the front 3 wide on the left ? Sometimes he looks like he playing centre forward

It’s fine for you to admit you got Semenyo wrong. It really doesn’t matter.

I will when he gets 10 goals and becomes a ‘Striker’ rather than a winger or wide forward as some like to call it.

I say he is a winger because he will never score enough to be a Striker.

I don’t think he is good enough finisher. Lacks composure.

For me very good winger but poor Striker.

A Good player - Yes and one I wish we still had.

I said will post when he gets 10  - 2 years later still waiting….

Semenyo was also criticised. There was even a thread boldly stating that he wasn’t a forward .

The youngsters need time and coaching to achieve the necessary levels. Clearly not all of them will make it.

The coaching team will not risk their jobs by playing ineffective players regardless of their ages. We see what’s in front of us but they have all the information, stats and daily contact to back up their judgement on match days. 
 

Not a ‘Striker’ was the post.

Said he’ll never get 10 a season - Still waiting on that one  have to say he is doing well in then Prem.

seymenyo looked a better prospect than Bell has to me.

For the record Bell won’t score 10 a season either not at this level anyway.

Seymenyo wide of the left with Conway and Sykes up front would be a decent front three and exiting to watch.

Not sure how many other teams Bell would get in. Not sure if not academy he would get as many games for us.

I think he wants the Swansea job.

If Sykes is not injured that is plane stupid.

Very, very strange decision 

Skye’s off?????

Tanner should have pulled him back all his fault that goal.

Gave it away and did not take one for the team.

Just now, And Its Smith said:

The Sykes the limit you could say 

Awards gag if the day that wont be beat roadway.

If Skye’s does play LWB and Wiemann as RWB as predicted and we don’t score and lose I am already nailing my flag to the ‘move him on’ brigade.

Skye’s has been our best player and most effective forward player all season.

To play him left LWB is just stupid that alone is sackable to me. 

Why?
