We were pretty woeful first half
So no real surprise that we went on to lose the game, even from a winning position. Cordoba, and I'm bored of saying it at this point, should not be a LCB/LB. We had limited options but put Stacey at LB and Fisher at RB and play a back 4 if you have to, not this bollocks Manning is trying each week.
Was obvious from the first 20 minutes that we needed another CM on the pitch - pray McLean is fit again soon and that Mattsson and Wright improve.
I made the point that Manning should be under pressure during the first half, I wonder if the people that said I was wide of the mark would re-evaluate now? I've seen nothing this season that gives us anything to work with, every game the opposition can work us out and we have not had a response. Manning needs to figure out a sensible setup for the players he has available, not try and force them in to whatever system he's currently trying to make work. My money is on him being gone before Christmas.
