Its popularity is not down to people largely in agreement with you, but people mainly disagreeing with you.I say YOU because you have written about a quarter of the posts!Quote from: Bentley Bullet on October 15, 2018, 10:19:48 amAIMH, the only reason this topic is popular is that it gets resurrected every time Mandy does something good for Morecambe, or Alfie May does something bad for Rovers.

But how else could I have done it with out make all my posts it was me doing the research and keeping other members of the forum informed.The reason that I have made lots of comments on this topic is to let those that are interested know how he is doing. The comments I have posted are those made by Morecambe supporters normally after their last game. I have not chosen just the good comments I have repeated all of the comments made about him. You may have noticed there have been no negative comments, in fact, I am the only one that has criticised Mandy. I think you could take it that their supporters really like what they are getting.By all means if the topic is not for you just pass it by.There's nothing wrong in you reporting on how well Mandy's doing right now mate, the trouble is there are some people who genuinely think that Mandy and McCullough should still be playing for us, despite the fact that we're playing so well.If they're both playing that well, which they obviously are, then they must be happy at their respective clubs, and the clubs happy with them. The best solution for everyone all round would surely be for them to sign permanently for those clubs in the summer.

I'd have McCullough back like a shot and given a run in the team instead of Whiteman. But I doubt it will happen.

McCullough is nowhere near dynamic enough to do the job Whiteman does and he most certainly is not creative enough. Whiteman has been impressive for us this season, I can't believe someone is watching his performances and thinking "I'd rather have McCullough".

Whiteman has been impressive for us this season, I can't believe someone is watching his performances and thinking "I'd rather have McCullough".Its all about opinions I know. However I'd say Whiteman has been better than last season but I'd still rather have a fully fit Luke in there. Don't try and say Whiteman is more creative. You've got short memories. Before he got the bad injury McCullough was showing real class. Anyone who went to Rochdale just prior will remember him running the game.If he can stay injury free and has got back to match fitness, he should walk into this team.
Steve, regardless of who McCullough plays for at present, with Houghton leaving he is our only real defensive mid fielder, and can cover centre half, where we are in danger of being short if the ones we have continue to collect bookings. I can't see any postings saying that either Mandeville or McCullough should be in the team that is playing regularly at the moment. Or that I am unhappy with the manager, or the results, or our standing in the league, all of which I am very happy with. Would they be better back up and strengthen our squad? that is a different argument all together, and is the opinion of individuals on this discussion forum which you may or may not agree with. You seem to want to put your own interpretation on others postings, that in most cases go off at a tangent. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but I am entitled to my opinion, and to respond to others opinion about my postings without getting personal. Something that I find is not always the case in response to my postings by certain people.
Hound, Do I detect a level of sarcasm?If you want to be fair with the kid its not the goals that he scores that are of great interest its his contribution to the team performance. I feel that Mandy would contribute more and score more goals if he wasn't played out wide on the wing.You could say the same of Copps no goals today but was he effective for his team and my guess would be that he was.

I really wish you hadn’t hound, I was hoping this thread would drift down the list and off the front page..... oh look what I just did Donny,Why on earth a small number of people take exception to this posting I just don't know...……I will say it again...…….if you are not interested in how Mandy is doing at Morecambe don't read the comments, is it so hard to do?
I’m genuinely interested to hear how Mandeville is getting along so personally I have no issue at all with the concept of the thread. I’m pleased he seems to be doing well. But to even mention him in the same breath as Coppinger is an astonishing misjudgement. Coppinger is arguably our greatest ever player and continues to defy logic with the level of his performances. Hopefully Mandeville has a decent career but he is not and never will be anywhere near the level of Coppinger. That’s not an insult to Mandeville, it’s just a fact and it would be setting the benchmark way too high to draw such a ludicrous comparison.
