I think few would doubt Manga’s committment. Undoubtedly he is better at centre back than right back where he has played most of the season with mixed performances. Do we have anybody better to play at RB? NW presumably thinks not with Peltier and Richards the obvious alternatives.

Not sure why Bennett was out yesterday. Whilst he offers something going forward he does get caught out of position at the back too often. Not at all sure about Cunningham but on balance prefer Bennett.

On a good day Peltier can put in a good performance, so back to the question as to why Manga gets the call first.

Rainy day Connolly.

Richards. The player I would most like to see given a sustained chance to make the right back position his own. Seems unlikely to happen.
