Ryan Manning

Couldn’t find the old thread so I’ve opened a new one. Treated very badly by Steve McClaren last season but finished the season back in the 1st team after a very impressive loan spell at Rotherham

Has made the most of the injury to Lee Wallace and has played all pre season and league games since Mark Warburton took over and has made the left full back spot his own scoring the equalizer from the spot against Bristol City on Tuesday and converting the first spot kick in the shootout.

Has a wand of a left foot and has had 2 assists from set pieces so far. Hopefully gets a call up on Friday.

Mark Warburton has been impressed with the form of Ryan Manning at left-back and admits he has staked his claim to continue in the position when Lee Wallace returns from injury.

Manning equalised from the spot for his side against Bristol City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night and has started at left-back in every game so far this season, putting in some impressive performances.

Wallace is currently building up his fitness after missing pre-season but Warburton says he has been delighted with how Manning has performed since being given the chance.

"Ryan Manning has grabbed the shirt, I've said that from the very first minute of pre-season" he said.

"Ryan Manning has stepped up, taken the shirt and has really staked a claim and has done outstandingly well.

"I like the fact he plays with a smile on his face. He's enjoying what he's doing, he's working hard in training.

"He's a young player with a strong technical base, good physicality in terms of athleticism and he enjoys his football.

"I'm delighted to see him do well, delighted for his contribution to the team and Lee knows that he doesn't get that shirt back easily.

"Lee's a very, very talented player. When you've played at the level that he's played at and played in the games that he's played in, he'll bring a real quality to the squad undoubtedly."

If he is struggling to get ahead of Lee Wallace he can’t be that good!

He’s not struggling to replace Lee Wallace who hasn’t played a game yet . The manager has heaped praise on him since he took the job.

Another great game from Ryan today involved in 2 of the goals and was a constant threat all game.

The QPR forums are full of praise for him has played every minute of all games this season. He’s Irish through and through hence the lack of mention on here.

I remember when he first broke in to the senior team, he was interviewed on OTB and that was the first thing I noticed, a bizarre accent.

Manning not being included in the 40 man squad at the least is a strange decision for me.

He played a decent amount of football last season and Is now putting in some decent performances at a decent level.

You could fire off a number of players in the squad that youd have manning ahead of.

Yeah agreed. Especially as he can play a number of roles and is regularly starting in something of a problem position for

You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995"
