Ryan Manning (QPR)

QPR were excellent from start to finish, Ryan done really well to very encouraging! 

What a shame Noel King remains in charge of the u21's. So much talent that you'd expect to qualify for underage tournaments

I only saw the second half but I have to say I wouldn't be getting overly carried away with him just yet. He seemed very hard working and committed without a doubt but I didn't think he offered a huge amount on the ball. His set-pieces were largely poor too, just floated in with no real pace. Kelly looked the more talented of the two I thought.

He was committed and all action, he probably had a better game than Kelly but I just didn't think he looked to have the same potential. Kelly had a midldling game but there were certain things he did that made me think he had a bit of class about him. I just didn't get that sense from Manning despite him putting in a solid performance.

Signed a two and half year extension to his contract today

it just goes to show what a fine line it is for young players. If Hassilbank was still manager he would probably have been released at the end of the season. Hollaway comes in, spots him on the first day of training and now its onward and upwards for young Ryan. And Hassilbank is now on the dole talking sh*te on football focus 

Scores

Intercepted a bad pass across the penalty area and tucked it under the advancing goalie.
