Re: We Haven’t Replaced Manny Smith
 

[QUOTE=Red Light;2291709]Manny sustained his injury away at Solihull Moors in a 1 - 0 defeat on the August bank holiday 2018. In an aerial challenge with Liam Daly he came down and landed awkwardly - prior to that I think he also injured a knee in a heavy clash during a game with Chester the previous season.

He came back after many months out for one game and had a relapse - I remember it being a home game but can't remember who the opponents were or when it was.

Been out a long time in reality now.

Can't see us bringing anyone in - Lawlor is about to return and Tharme has returned from Telford - can't just keep bringing in players - plenty here numbers wise - the question is are they of good enough quality ? but we are a National league club - can't have a wealth of top players sitting around never getting the chance to get game time.[/QUOTE]

He wasn’t fit in that home game (think it was a trophy game). He barely moved all game.

[QUOTE=andywrex90;2291703]What exactly did Manny do? I can’t even remember the last time he played for us.

When your refer to long term ? 1 month plus ? After Christmas ?

I honestly don’t understand why the club don’t put out regular updates on things such as this. No bloody excuses , if premier league sides can do it , we certainly can. Nothing short of a joke in my eyes.[/QUOTE]

Manny injured his knee against Solihill last August and was out for a number of weeks, he then played one game in the FA trophy if I remember correctly and suffered a set back and hasn't played since. I cant tell what long term is in his case as Long term is all I was told. I would imagine best case is the Christmas/New Year although I have heard it may be never.

It's a shame because he was head and shoulders our best player in those 5/6 games in August last season.
Eastleigh in the league he played against at the start of December.

Should have kept Kevin Roberts

The guy could defend,

Chambers/ Bobb are a big reason we have struggled

I never thought I would say that about Robert's, but I agree.

I'd contest we didn't really need Roberts; Carrington was already here.

His fee/wage could have been used further-up the pitch.

I'm thinking more about the fact that letting Roberts go should have been an upgrade and it hasn't been.

True.

We continue to try and get an upgrade on Carrington at RB; IMO that's never been achieved since he arrived at the club.
