I don't mind Manga going. With Flint replacing him. From what I can tell he is s similar player to Morrison. Would make for a very commanding defensive partnership at this level. With Etheridge behind them, 2 good full backs and Nelson protecting the back 4 I don't think they'll be many better defensive units in the championship.
Matt Connolly hasn't gone anywhere - on his dodgy ankles.
That's putting an awful lot of responsibility on someone we signed on a free from a League One club who has never played in that position for a concerted spell. It seems pretty obvious Flint became a target once it was learned that Bruno wasn't staying - I believe Curtis Nelson was bought in as cover.
Nelson has played in that position in pre season. He's smaller stature and a ball playing defender. I think he could thrive in that position with good players around him.
