No but it proves they can be good. Writing them off this season on the basis of a couple of games (none in the case of Amankwaah) is daft. We can only judge on the basis of the past as they've not featured enough so far this season.

Like either were given a chance last season. Manks is probably fit for the first time since Wembley.
I agree Ferry seemed to be treated badly last season but Manks wasn't given a chance as his body was (is?) falling to pieces. IMO the key here is organisation and communication at the back. Smith has never been a talker and I think, without a CB who does that for him (Commazi?), we're suffering on set pieces and crosses into the box. We need someone to take charge and we're not seeing that. I would still keep Smith in goal for Tuesday but I would bring Commazi in alongside Flint. |

Dont agree that he has writing them off arriba,he has plenty of players and he is tinkering(rightly or wrongly)as we know a manager can't win really as he is being told to put in players like Manks by fans who last year was saying he was shit and should be bombed out. Commazi will be the first name on the sheet when fit,hence PDC making him captain....fans are very fickle,the fans who were slagging De Vita were praising him after his second half performance at Bristol and that good finish. Fans slagging Di Canio after only five matches really need to get a grip,we dicked Oxford and Cheltenham without getting a result and maybe deserved a draw at Dags with a cert penalty turned down. So we have lost by the odd goal in these matches,not great i know but people like Yeo calling for his head after five matches,do me a favour. |

Flint doesn't stop talking.Simple fact is in my opinion that Smith,Kennedy and Devera are making too many mistakes and the strikers are not taking the chances that the stats will show are clearly being created.Unlike arriba i would say the midfield are fine.

I think the attack will come good, Connell looks like a natural goalscorer, Clarke is good at linking up and bringing others into the game and Magera will batter defenders an give us a whole different option. We still have De Vita who has shown flashes of being a very good player. I think Clarke and Connell should start with Magera used as a 15-20 minute impact sub (route one stuff). |

Di canio has stated that players are not as good as he thought they were. Agree he has tinkered but that isn't a good thing as we are losing games. Think Manks deserves a chance to stake a claim for a place like any other player,but he aint had that opportunity. Too early to call for Di canios head, but another 5 matches with a poor points return and the patience many are showing will wear thinner by the day. |

I like Manks but if PDC has seen in training that his fitness is piss poor then thats his decision,fact is arriba sacking a manager is not always the right thing to do whatever the results....i didn't want Wilson to be sacked,wonder how he is doing these days  |

Does anyone really know? I remember last season we were told he was injured but joteddyred said her dad (?) saw him in the gym all the time and he claimed he was fit? Either way, whether you rate him or you dont - Amankwaah has not been given a chance under Di Canio what so ever. Timlin was given a chance, seemed to take it and now Di Canio has done a massive u-turn. If that isnt freezing out players I dont know what is. |
