Injuries are part of the annoyance at the club though

In the basis that we must surely be doing something wrong with our fitness work. What the hell is Medic doing getting cramp in a game he didn’t seem to have that much to do?

Whether it’s just bad luck or there *is* an issue with our fitness team, I’ve no idea. But Manning threw them under the bus a couple of weeks ago, which adds to the narrative.

Is there anyone Manning hasn’t thrown under the bus though?

        Indeed - but the optics of refusing interviews has its own very specific dynamic. (NCFC) - norwaay, Oct 19, 12:18:06

- JHT with Darling, Mattesen and Diallo added plus Nunez retained would have had this lot (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 19, 11:16:13
  - Yeah - Nunez going was inevitable, based on what knapper says (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 19, 11:56:45
- Don’t they just. The issue they actually had was the senior players didn’t want him… (NCFC) - WalksietheReturn, Oct 19, 11:05:20
  - Yes. The senior players should have gone. Coaching wise JHT was streets ahead of Manning (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 19, 11:14:30
