Two Mandeville stats

[drfchound]

Good point and what about DF for the other award as well.

[Dutch Uncle]

As far as I can work out he has joined a list of only 6 Rovers players who have scored 2 penalties in the same match - the other 5 being Tom Keetley (1926-27), Ian Snodin (1982-83), David Roche (1994-95), Nathan Tyson (2014-15) in the league and Norman Curtis (1960-61) in the FA Cup.

Rovers also scored 2 penalties in a match against Bristol Rovers in 2007-08 - but these were scored one each by Paul Heffernan and Brian Stock

Mac,  you are Liam Mandeville and I claim my £5!

Sorry to disagree but the 2 things that let him down are his lack of pace and his physicality. Centre halves at this level must love playing against him. Well has he has played, Williams is streets ahead of him. JMHO
Get him built up a bit and his lack of pace wont matter. Carry on like he has and he could be our next 6 figure transfer the big boys love a goalscorer. I think we have had one before haven't we?

[IDM]

Raven today, if not before, Mandy looked a lot more physical than ever before..  Agreed he isn't the quickest, but he's developing nicely isn't he?

[IDM]

Back to stats, has he now got 7 goals this season, if you include the checkatrade trophy?

I could not disagree more.

JMHO..

I have said elsewhere that he could be our next 6 figure transfer but at the moment Williams is streets ahead, Apart from the penalties what else did he do to trouble their back 4 today. He was never going to score with his jinking run and shot in the 2nd half. I repeat at the moment he he is not physical enough has no pace and as for his heading ability under pressure don't get me started.
He has definitely got the potential but is far from the finished article let's not get carried away

Heffs scored two in the same game in the JPT second leg against Crewe, the year we won it!

Dutch,
That brings back memories. Norman Curtis, player manager, my minds picture of him was his long shorts pulled up over his bellybutton, Benny Hill style.

I think that was one penalty he was made to re-take JD

Yes he's crap nowt to see here.......

Who is the youngest player to get to double figures for Rovers?

[The Red Baron]

Who is the youngest player to get to double figures for Rovers?

Without checking I'm pretty sure it's going to be Alick Jeffrey.

[Donnywolf]

He nearly broke the bar in the First half with a tremendous shot ?

Agree on the physique.Players in the olden days were often "treated" to Steaks and other stuff to bulk them up and in these days of Sports Science this problem will be addressed. Pace wise I am less bothered personally because he can and does get past defenders a la Copps

I am not getting carried away because you see players over the years who flatter to deceive but there are many who do improve continuously (as they learn or are well coached or both) and if LM continues his progression I AM going to enjoy what I see of him

[DonnyOsmond]

And some people wanted him released last season.

[ravenrover]

And to Donnywolf, so am I for a few more seasons to come I hope.

[Donnywolf]

LOL yes of course !

If they let me continue with the Charity Penalty thing I will be insisting he takes them for me. Nearly broke net last time !

Daft question really. Obviously Jeffrey having made his debut at 15.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

More and more he's reminding me of Peter Kitchen. Very clever footballer, not blessed with great physique but made up for with technique and guile.

He's a cheeky little scamp who'll hopefully continue his progression and make some defenders look very silly. He's in a great position to learn from Copps and Marquis. I wouldn't be surprised to see an overhead kick in his repertoire at some point.

[Sammy Chung was King]

If you don't have pace you have to have a quicker brain to make it in football. Mandeville knows what's needed intelligence get's him the edge he needs. He has a lot of work to do but he is coming along nice.

[ravenrover]

full agreement there SCWK
