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.

And was I the only one to think that, in spite of his errors, which were in keeping with Robbo's,and most of the others in the Team, he made a more telling contribution to the side than did his more Illustrious and EXPENSIVE midfield colleague !

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!

'WHAT ME WORRY ?'......'ON STANLEY... ON!' :)

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.:D

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

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:

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
 
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!!
 
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 .
 
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!.

'POTTED SHRIMPS....LOVELY !!'.....'ON STANLEY...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.
 
After questioning his ability in an earlier post I have to say that he looked the business last night. He was fired up and more aggressive right from the first whistle and was a big factor in our win. With Jay Harris also firing it looks like our "engine room" could be sorted. One of the best moments was when Jay executed some brilliant footwork to slalom past 3 of their players in the second half. Just like watching Brazil, that bit!
Mangan coming on seemed to galvanise Shaun Whalley too, and they both looked dynamite, with Shaun looking good when he attacked from a more central position than usual, not sliding away across the face of their defence. I thought Morecambe looked good throughout, and just wonder if we would have come back if Blinkhorn hadn't missed his golden chance in the first half. With our newly rediscovered spirit, though, anything is possible.
 
Telegraph said he was dissapointingly quiet last night but I thought he looked tidy. In the position he plays in, if you dont notice him it probably means hes done an effective job.

And that's exactly what he did Alvin !......t'Telegraph's Player Rating System
(as they call it!) really does leave much to be desired, and should not be taken too seriously !.

Whilst I don't like to see any player injured I'm afraid I don't share your sorrow to see him leave the pitch. Apart from his lucky 25 yd. strike the other week what has he contributed to the team since his return? They certainly played better without him yesterday. Get rid of Craney and Shaun Whalley and there's the makings of a half decent team.
 
As I said on the other thread, we improved after Craney left the field because he isn't a striker and he was played out of position. We are much better when we play Craney in midfield and have another striker up front with Mullin.

There is a lot more to the Desane story than meets the eye, but we have missed him because he supported Mullin and played off him. Mangan did a similar sort of job last night, which is why we looked better all over the field in the second half.
