Re: Manny Smith
Manny should come straight back in when fit. They've done really well in his absence but I still think him and Pearson is our best CB pairing. Even when Pearson has a bit of an off day, he's still usually one of our better performers. His only real significant weakness is lack of pace and that's why Manny works so well with him, any time the ball is moved past Pearson quicker than he can react to, Manny is always there to mop up.
No criticism of Lawlor who's performed well, but we'd be mad not to go with our best pairing if they're both fully fit and available to play. Nice problem to have though. Considering we have Tharme as well, it's remarkable strength in depth. If only things were as good going forward.
