His debut 2 years vs Bulgaria in the NL too. Enough of him to make up his mind on him anyway.

You should note Manning didn’t start the season in the Swansea team so tbh was no where near an Ireland call up. He struggles at the back defensively (patchy with a patchy Swansea team) and unfortunately his Irish form has been the same. He has no pace, can be rash in the tackle but has a decent left foot if given time on the ball. My honest opinion is he is not International level, I’d have the Cardiff lad ahead of him actually along with McL & Brady.

Is it not just a case that Manning really isn't very good? He's been overlooked by a number of managers at this stage.

I don't think that's fair on Manning, his biggest problem isn't that "he isn't good" imo, it's that he's not really outstanding in any facet. He's an ok defender, has decent athleticism, and has pretty good technique - but you wouldn't say he stands miles out from the rest in any of those areas.

We're decent enough..

More chance of Bernard Manning getting a chance in a competitive game, and he's been dead for 15 years.

Seems to be in fine form, Brady not even playing LWB tonight and the young man utd loanee was Motm for Preston at LWB, so Brady may not play much there going forward. Ryan deserves another chance on form.

kennys decision to not start him in any meaningful games gets stranger by the game. less said about scales being picked over him in the last squad the better...

Not really because he couldn't do it in any non meaningful games for us when given the chance. Just cause hes doing well at club level doesn't mean it'll always translate into International, Hendrick and Hourihane for example are having stand out seasons and have had poor showings in a green jersey for a long while now.

To be fair, he went with mc clean and Brady as his two lwbs and neither let him down. I do think Manning will just have to bide his time. Scales was picked as CB cover over Dunne.

Ah John, Hendrick can't play in a midfield three unless against very weak opposition. If we had a different formation he might do better. In fairness to Kenny, Manning has been in a number of squads so he has had plenty of time to look at him. Equally in fairness to Manning, he has reacted the right way.

Which? That he hasn't been up to it for us or having a stand out season for Reading?

He's having a decent season for Reading and he has started in the last year for Ireland, 3-0 away wins vs both Lux and Aze, a 0-0 home draw vs Portugal and a 2-2 draw with Belgium. Yes he lost his starting spot after 2 below par team performances away to Armenia (both Cullen and Knight were hooked in that game, Hendrick wasnt) and home to Ukraine. He then played the last quarter of the 1-1 draw away to Ukraine and the 3-2 win at home to Armenia (where he was unfairly singled out by Brady after the game for the first goal, when there were at least 3 or 4 others equally or more culpable for that goal) - he was probably the best of our 3 midfielders in that game, Knight was poor and Molumby should have seen red after 50 odd minutes. I just dont think its fair to say that he has been poor in an Ireland shirt for a long while now. I think its entirely fair to say that about Hourihane btw, but this lumping Hendrick in along with Hourihane is just lazy imho. Jeff is a popular scapegoat, but he rarely lets Ireland down and still has plenty to offer Ireland going forward. I watched the Preston WBA game last night and both Molumby (hooked on 57 mins) and Browne (at RWB tbf, hooked on 62 mins)) were absolutely terrible.

Look, I dont think Hendrick is brilliant by any means, but people seem happy with Cullen, Molumby and Knight as our indisputable midfield 3 and I have serious concerns in that regard. While I think it's fine to set up like that in games where we expect to be on the back foot, I think its far from ideal in games where we are expected to be on the front foot - Cullen is a 6 and a good one, I have no concerns there, but Molumby is a very limited 8 (with the ball) and Knight is playing L1 football which is far from ideal. I'd also worry about Molumby keeping his spot in the WBA team with Bruce likely to get the sack any minute now and Molumbys performances this season have been poor (Whoscored rating of 6.29 after 10 odd games). I have said several times, we need to see Smallbone in there sooner rather than later (in Knights role). I still think Hendrick has a place in the squad for sure and isnt far off the team at all. Like everybody else, I think we should dispense with Hourihane - I have been banging that drum for over a year now. Lads lumping Hendrick in with Hourihane annoy me greatly!
