Bob I’ve serious concerns regarding Mannings defensive positioning but he can play ball. What do you think of playing him in the defensive 2 with license to bomb forward?
Me too! Otherwise he was poor, pulled all over the place at the back by Forest especially early on, and when he got forward a bit later his passing was mostly inaccurate again.
Agrred. Football wise it was not his best day. But he was sharp and determined in the “Rules of the Game”.
Didn’t see the game but Forest **** all over Cash and Lolley so it was never going to be easy defending that side.
I understand what your saying, all their attacks in the 1st half were aimed towards manning as Pugh kept drifting inside leaving the flank exposed. Manning was probably my m.o.m to be honest.
Cant agree with that at all. He put one cross over the bar wildly, in comparison to barbets 5 passes in a row to Forest players. Manning was totally exposed due to Pugh in the 1st half. 2nd half all our best play came down the left.
