Silvio Dante Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I’ll scribe again: - Impressed with U18s honesty, work rate and desire to compete - Thinks the level of championship is so high that U18 to champ is rare but if good enough they will play - Asked how often the U18s train with the first team - didn’t really answer. Referenced Jamie Knight-Lebel, Yeboah and Nelson - one of whom isn’t an 18 and one who was busted down? - Cornick fit plus one unspecified - Asked why form fluctuates “Psychological - it’s been there the whole season not just since we came in”. QPR didn’t have time to work tactically and lacking Twine against the block - “Annoyingly my phone blew up the other night complimenting how good the lads were defensively” - Has spoken a lot about taking responsibility because they give the lads everything and they have to take responsibility - lads are all in and we’re moving in the right direction - Piercy asked whose decision it was that players were fit. LM said it was a collective but he’s not a medical expert - Naismith and Twine not trained (so assume it’s Tanner back) - My favourite quote “It’s very hard for me to effect things in game” (Side note: he clearly reads the forum - hi Liam - and while you’re here - that’s literally your job) - Thinks he’s learnt and grown while here. Obsesses on reflection and analysis, works too hard which is both a strength and weakness. - Mentioned recent history of the club and laughed “the second half thing” - assumedly a drop in second half which he thinks may be cultural from the tone? (Side note: since he took over!) - Piercy asked re supporters reaction at Cardiff and pressure - can’t control it so don’t try to think about it, all was great 3 games ago and his energy is better served doing his job - Doesn’t just look at results although you have to win games, most sides in the league according to Brian have had 6-7-8 games without winning. It’s hard to know how players react before they have that kind of run and when they do it’s whether it’s the players or what they do - The league table is not looked at too much as not sure what it’ll give him. Concentrates on winning the next game and won’t change just because lost three in a row - Tommy or Nakhi? There’s a possibility of both from the start, hasn’t picked the team yet - Cams injury isn’t major and will be managed to end of season 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, that was my favourite bit. Clearly reads the forum or has had feedback we all think his game management is shite and his answer is “it’s not up to me to manage the game” Take it Roy: 18 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Also, kudos to Liam for his cagieness. Asked if anyone would be fit said one might be but wouldn’t say who then 10 minutes later confirmed Twine and Naismith hadn’t trained. We’ve got Nadine Dorries managing us. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched off after he said that. What does he think McKenna did on Tuesday ffs? Unless he genuinely believes Ipswich only won because his players stopped following his plan, so it was actually all their fault! Which is even more mental than his "I can't affect anything once the game starts" mantra. Edited March 8 by Merrick's Marvels 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Naismith is more trying to defend them, ie they’re good players, they’d usually execute that 9 times out of 10, type stuff. I don’t think he’s digging them out. He’s more “I’m surprised we are playing like that” type stuff. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad I did and thanks for sharing… don’t think I’m gonna bother watching. Some poor answers there imo. How many times is he gonna say “Oh it was great 3 games ago”. It was 2 games, 3 games and now 4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 55 minutes ago, petehinton said: Gotta say, a manager saying once the game starts there’s nothing they can do to impact it is pretty ******* mental. Yeah, for sure. And if Manning really believes that, he may as well pack up and clock off once any game has started. What a bloody stupid thing to admit, and saying so out loud too ! And boy, does he like having his ego stroked by all the (fake and insincere) compliments from the likes of McKenna and, allegedly, others? Does Manning honestly believe McKenna would have sung his/the team's praises if we had beaten them ? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
