Ooh Ah Mangala, Orel Mangala

Ooh ah franz carr predated both of those

Wish that was true, but sadly not. I remember the Mancs singing it long before Trentend taking it up for Franzie.

Which player did they sing it for?  Can’t have been Cantona, he was still at Leeds I think when Carr left Forest!  I might be wrong though

Hope he is back for Leeds we need him asap.

I like this lad, he puts a shift in, never hides, tries to bring the ball forward, clearly has some skill. Heaven knows compared to some of the dross we have had over the last 20 years he is a revelation and anyone who gives 100% in the Garibaldi has my full support.

So the but is coming…. He makes so many mistakes. The 2 saves Henderson had to make 1st half were directly from errors Mangala made. He gave the ball away so many times and was rightly hooked early 2nd half. At least he wasn’t booked for one of his clumsy challenges this time.

Like I said many of the errors were because he was trying to do something positive but how many can we put up with?

Think you've nailed it. Felt a bit sorry for him as both times he gave ball away -including near their box- they broke and created 2 cracking chances, otherwise he was outstanding in 1st half.

Also,disappeared completely after half time. Colback though? Fair play to him.

He's young and settling in a difficult league, fitness perhaps is an issue too given he always gets subbed early and Steve has referenced it too.

He's likely to have more competition soon by the sounds of it.

He's the progressive player in the midfield 3 the mistakes will naturally come from him trying to go forward, the other 2 aren't as progressive.

Still a player there just adapting, though Freuler was great defensively last night on another note.

Are you sure? I’d say Yates gets up on the right for Brennan a hell of a lot, and in most matches.

[BadDog]

Ryan and Mangala are the most progressive yes agreed. But like I say Mangala still adapting I feel he will get there

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Much tidier on Saturday, reckon Cooper had a word and told him to take a few less risks although that maybe comes with hime being a bit less effective too.
Never seems to last 90 mins which is odd?

We need more from this lad he seems to have stalled a bit but hopefully it's just a blip. He's had fitness issues to be fair but I'd like him to dominate games more.

Well with Danilo now here, he if steps up his game to keep him out of the squad or drops off. Competition for places at its finest
