mannix

He did not have a particularly good game on Saturday,but I have not seen him often enough to form an opinion
 
I actually thought he played well on saturday, fair enough a couple of mistakes but his touch was class and made some very intelligent passes.
 
people must see that he has improved the team no end.
Mannix is holding in midfield and stopping teams running at us.
trust me he will play at a much higher level!!

Totally agree. I think I gave Branchy about 8 games to show something. ;)

Have a feeling that central midfield would be better if it was Mannix or Craney, plus Proccy or Jay, but let's see.
 
He has got class as you can see when he plays but hopefully he will start sticking some in the net, he does have the ability to. I think as soon as he gets a goal i think he will play much much better!
 
In a division where keeping hold of the ball is looked upon as a crime the lad sticks out like a sore thumb.
Already you can see the other players look up to him............
 
didnt he get man of match on saturday? i like the lad thinks he's been ok since he cme back hopefully he'll be with us next season aswell

But he is a holding midfielder, sure a goal or two wouldn't go a miss, but he is more of a supplier than receiver.

Yeah I agree.

I think Mannix has been a very good signing. Some of his control and passing skills are reminiscent of Marshy in the Unibond days and definitely shows off his pedigree. However, he had a stinker against Hereford. I think he will know that.
 
Don't think he's shown his full potential yet (as he's certainly not played as well as he did in the match at Cleethorpes last season), but I reckon he will turn out to be a vital member of our squad in the fullness of time.
 
I'm sorry that I have to be the dissenting voice on here, but for me he contributes very little. Granted, he plays a holding midfield role, but what's the point when he constantly gives the ball away anyway? Anyone can do that. I was never a great fan of Marsh, either, so obviously I know nowt.:D
 
I too thought he had a nightmare against Hereford. When I questioned the MOM award to the people who awarded it him, it explained a lot. I only saw what he was doing from the Clayton End, the MOM awarders were watching from the main stand/clubhouse. 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.... :mosher:

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 tosser 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 - bugger stocks & sponges. :D
