Mandeville is no doubt technically our best up there..I think he needs time and the right partner. I would stick him in with John they'd be our best partnership.
Mandeville is the best finisher by far. You only have to watch games to see that. Coppinger is a poor finisher, he can’t even be put into the mix as best.
Has anyone actually seen Kiwomya play?

Aye, but Lewis Guy was good in training (allegedly). Means f**k all if he doesn't do it in a game situation.

B.B. if you can point me to anywhere I have said that J.Ms misses are any better than Alfies on Saturday please point them out. And Alan, I have stated previously I would like to see Alfie ram my perception of him down my throat, and score a lot of goals. I have stated before I admire his effort and tenacity, but goals are what this game is all about, and he misses chances, and also all our other strikers struggle to score when partnering him. On the other hand we have got a young player who has got the best scoring record since Peter Kitchen, and has scored four goals in his last five first team appearances, which were not all full games. And I might add when played with Marquis,both have scored freely with Mandeville setting up more than one for Marquis. He has been slaughtered on here for facial expressions, not trying, giving the ball away, when it was his first touch and the player it was meant for did not read the return ball down the line,but why let that get in the way of you slagging him off. I repeat I want Alfie to do well,would I pick him NO for footballing reasons only, which I have put in posts and explain, and by the way I am not the old guy referred to in an earlier post, but I do agree with him. B.B. they are my opinions of the difference between Marquis and Alfie, are you saying that people can have a dig at Marquis in this thread, but I cannot say anything about Alfie in comparison,just asking like.
At the beginning of the season it was quite clear Mandeville was not 100% fit. Something has “gone off” between DF and Mandy which I think has upset both of them. I think DF can be very stubborn and has quite clearly decided not to play Mandy. Whether this is DF’s lack of man management or a bad attitude by Mandy I don’t know. ( OR BOTH )What I do know that Mandy is technically one of the best players we have at present. He is also THE best finisher we have. He has a football brain. He has the awareness around him that Alfie May doesn’t have. I am not knocking Alfie. He has jumped up 8 leagues from where he came from and still potentially could be a good player at this level. But work rate alone will not get him scoring goals.He needs to get his head up and his decision making needs to improve.We all love him because his enthusiasm shines through. He wants to do well we can all see that. DF needs to sort out the situation with Mandy because if he doesn’t we are going to lose a very talented player. He will then go to another club and probably have a very successful career and we will all be thinking what might have been.

Originally 4 but now 5, he started in the 8th tier.
