Manny Smith signed his extension long after he got injured. Complications with infections etc have been mentioned but I believe these to just be more spin. Whilst in an ideal world we would look after injured players, football rarely carries this level of sympathy these days, we should be no different. Our future should not be jeopardised by carrying injured players.

Manny Smith is about to turn 31 and by the time this season is through will have missed nearly two seasons. Sadly as he’s one of my favourite players over recent years, he’s finished, move on.
