Time for Manga?

By Chris Wathan

Conceding from a set-piece has not been much of a Cardiff issue this season and the finger of blame appeared better placed on Aron Gunnarsson than Sean Morrison, but the number of goals shipped of late does beg the question whether Slade needs a change at the back. Having now found their scoring boots – Cardiff have scored 12 in their last six games having only scored 15 in the first 15 games of the season before that – they have now conceded ten goals in their last five outings having shipped 12 all season before that spell. Matt Connolly has been one of Cardiff’s players of the year and no-one is in of any doubt of Bruno Manga’s quality, so is the busy Christmas period not the perfect time to reintroduce him?

Everyone I speak to at games asks why Manga isn't in the starting line up, I personally would bring him in for Connolly, I know a lot of fans like him and he's a trier but a fit Manga to me is in a different League......Or he will be if we don't start using him! :?

Manga is our best player and should never be on the bloody bench ... it borders on stupidity keeping him there.

Replace Morrison for him that's what I would do.

Not starting with Manga is MADNESS. BY far the best central defender we got. I think Slade should go to specsavers :sladeout:

The two have done well especially Connolly, conceding goals is not always about the back four but the pressure they are under and being exposed which they now will be due to our more flamboyant approach. You can't keep them all out, I have said previously the two cb haven't deserved to be dropped and they are still doing a job. But I would now bring in manga :thumbup:
