I agree with D.M!
I think we should play King at left back and Aswad on the left of midfield - both great on the ball and Aswad looks more of an attacker than defender to me. Humping the ball up to an isolated Mully is OK to a degree, but I would like to see us attacking in numbers like Hereford did with swift running off the ball. The heavy pitch didn't seem to stop them avoiding the hopeful long ball approach.

Mannix has disappointed me a touch because I had a very opinion of him, but that position is done best by somebody you don't notice in a game like Makelele. Viera and Keane did a similar job but were noticed more because they did it in a bone crunching manner. I think he will have more influence on the game when he learns the way the players a bit more. Until then he seems to be playing a little more cautiously than perhaps he needs to. But then again it may be no coincidence that since he came into the side we have conceded a lot fewer goals?

Superb at smelly fish town last season and so I was expecting great things when he signed for us. This hasnt been the case yet, but hes still bedding in.

To the misinformed ****** who thinks I know nothing about this because I allegedly don't remember Marshy - I was supporting Stanley quite some time before Marshy came anywhere near the Crown Ground. Now hows about you go and lie down on the car park while it's being resurfaced, that I'd give money to charity for - ****** stocks & sponges.

It's quite fun trying to fill in the gaps caused by using the "ignore" list

. Now can I guess who the misinformed ****** was ?

David has the 'Class' that SamF has spotted, and with another couple of
'familiarisation' games under his belt, will I feel be the one to hold our
'engine-room ' players together !

Get behind him !...NO SLAGGING OFF!!...it can only be good news for the Reds!

You were not the only one. Give him a couple more games and I think he'll begin to show his class.
Which do you think is better value for money, Mannix on a free transfer or 85000 more Illustrious and EXPENSIVE midfield colleagues?

I'll have to watch him more closely tonight - must have been missing something.

Craney is under contract, Mannix will probably be away at the end of the season.

They saw a different Mannix to what I did, one who on more than several occasions, stopped a very good Hereford side playing through us and thats why he got MOM. Asset to the team....

That actually makes sense ya know, most people on these boards are clayton enders - and I was to up until this season, however since my grandad picking up a few years we decided for the main stand this season - from the main stand you can see Mannix's area of the pitch a lot better with a side on view

depechemode · 12-03-2008, 17:30

still think todd , harris , craney and king would be a good midfield to start with tonight

jiffy bag · 12-03-2008, 23:41

DM you really are thick as pig sxxt........

Mannix has started 6 games, we have won 4 with two clean sheets.
He was immense tonite and as soon as the other players get on his wavelength ( ie keeping hold of the ball when there's no pass on) the better!!
Well done Manno!!

depechemode · 13-03-2008, 07:02

sorry didnt know i had to agree with you .manyway i think mannix had a decent game yest still think hes not up to it though . whalley had **** first half but better in second .

yonmon · 13-03-2008, 07:28

Sad to see Ian Craney go off last night, I felt that he was about to give us the game that he 'owes' us !. Glad to see that my prophecy regarding the potential which David Mannix so obviously has in his locker...and between his ears!...was again fulfilled. His on-the-ground link- ups with Paul Mullin made a refreshing change from the incessant flow of hopeful high balls slammed in that direction, and Manno also cut down the supply line to Michael Twiss, who after his goal became more and more impotent as the second-half wore on!.

Mannix is a good player. He gives us something different and has the ability and confidence to hold the ball and look for players in space or on a run. Sometimes the passes don't always work but then neither does simply humping the ball up to Mullin. On the evidence of last night, it looks like he can shoot too.
