On what was in the highlights of that game and others, his crossing was excellent, he was prepared to run at defenders (partly why he did so well at Exeter when he came on as sub and scored), he moves around well finding space, but... something lacking in the engine or the mind behind the engine. He could have pressured that goalscorer, been agressive and decisive rather than leaving it to the defender.Maybe that's just the one occasion or maybe it reflects his game overall. Definitely has potential but from what I've seen not quite sharp or punchy enough for League 1. Add a bit of aggression, a bit more ball control and he's just about there.
I have seen Mandy play this season
You don’t have to agree with me Alick but that doesn’t make you right either.Why don’t you call the Morecambe manager and tell him where he is going wrong?I find it interesting that there are some negative posts about him on the Morecambe fans forum.Perhaps he has found his level and sometimes struggles to keep it up.

I may be remembering this incorrectly but didn’t Copps play RB in an emergency?For some reason or another I seem to recall us being without a recognised RB at the time.I think it is fair to say that Copps will have had plenty of games where he has impressed people over a long time and yes, of course it is true that players have bad games.They all do.I keep saying that Mandeville has only fleetingly impressed me and it is probably fair to also say that he won’t have impressed as many people and done it as often as Coppinger has.You may be interested to know that I have been compared to Copps.Someone told me that compared to him I am rubbish.
But Copps only played a very few games there in an emergency, not a third of the season.Our manager soon moved him back to his best position.The Morecambe manager may not share the same opinion as you.
How many of those comments do we need to ignore?
More comments from Morecambe supporters>>>>>>>It looks like along with his team Mandy had a poor game today and it sounds like the Manger played him in the middle, what do I know?.............................................Its happening again. Mandy off, 1.0 down, 10 minutes to go and 4 or 5 strikers with 1 defender.............................................Mandy had another poor game, although he wasn't alone. Speaks volumes when the player who replaced him for the last half an hour got Man of the Match!............................................Probably wouldn't have been my first choice to be subbed, but he was poor today. Looked anonymous in the middle, had one spark with a long shot. His crossing, especially from corners, was dreadful.Still looks lively, I'm sure he'll bounce back especially if he had a dangerous out ball to work with..............................................Mandy is becoming a scapegoat. How you could single him out as poor in that first half is beyond me..............................................Not scapegoat at all, but this thread is about Mandeville! He's being "singled out" by virtue of being the subject of the thread. Do you think that he wasn't poor today? If you want to start a thread for each other player who was on the pitch today, you won't find many not being described as having a 'poor game'! Tutte worked hard. Ellison made a difference when he came on. Lavelle was okay (although I think he was probably at fault for their goal, but not 100% sure if it was him?) The whole team were below par again against a poor Notts County. I'm still a Mandeville fan and know he'll come back strong... I just hope he comes back strong soon!...........................................A quiet first half for Mande, but definitely not on his own. Second half,he started like a different player. Invloved in our two most threatening bits of play all game, within minutes........then gets subbed AGAIN. He is going to get well pi$$ed off if it carries on............................................Agreed. Not singling Mandeville out, but I was looking forward to seeing if playing in the middle gave him a bit more freedom, and he didn't have a good game. I'm sure he'll be back on form soon, but today he was way off it. He was better in the second half, but didn't even get 10 minutes so impossible to judge!

The middle was very compact with hardly any room to move. Other teams will watch our games and its pretty obvious Mandy is our only spark. He is closed down pretty sharpish. Going back to the system, it looked horribly like the 7-0-3 of last season.I don't hold back on the comments positive or negative about Mandy, I put them all on the forum. I find it fascinating how some supporters are so keen to highlight the negative comments to make a point when in fact there are many, many more positive comments made about him are just ignored.

Fair enough, however I disagree that Odriscoll is weak and unable to stand up for himself.
