Ivorguy Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 If you remember back to when Nige arrived he expressed concern about players’ fitness. We seem to be slipping back into old ways under Manning. I really don’t like the sidelining of the Academy players under Manning. Worried re summer recruitment, as should he still be here, god forbid; will we recruit, as in the recent past, too many have been’s and never will be’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as we all know, the Scott ‘replacement’ was the priority. We could have done both with the money. Went well!! Spooky he was mentioned yesterday! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely good experience for academy players to be on the bench and part of match day. Seriously getting fed up with this appointment, lost some great people in Nige, Curtis and Jason. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the problem with having a coach rather than a manager, they just think about the short term and doing what it takes to keep them in a job. That results in ignoring the players coming through the youth system because it’s too much of a risk to play them. It also means they are more likely to risk picking players who have yet to fully recover from injury. Ensuring the fitness of the team is a long term activity - a short term coach doesn’t give it as much importance. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given our squad limitations and Manning’s reluctance to give youth a chance in any shape or form, I’m still at a loss as to why we let Andi go to West Brom… surely he’d be better coming off the bench for us rather than them?

Save on wages for twine maybe seems to only logical reason just a guess mind but yeah did seem a strange with our squad so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
