The Ben Mansford Interview

I've had a sports hernia. You've no chance playing football in the park with one, let alone professional football. They can be cured with rest in some cases, otherwise it's an operation.

 

I'm not saying he can play, it was the well hes always injured and yes he's injured at the moment but it's not because of a knee or ankle it's a sports Hernia and I think thats a little big different.

 

It stops him from being selected ffs. Just let it go man, you're wrong.

 

I'm not saying he should be picked with it.

 

I'm not sure what you're trying to say anymore. You began by complaining that he hasn't been played, so yyou could have a dig at DW. What's your point then?

 

My points was over 5 month not 1 of which it was since he had a op for the Hernia

 

He's had other niggles. Didn't DW play him when he first came?

 

Supporters need to work out what they want. Playing young players is fine if they are of the Stones variety, but most are going to have bad games and possibly cost us points. When we're mid table and not playing too well are fans going to understand this? Or are we going to have a doom session calling for Wilson's head and a slating of the youth system and claims "They aren't good enough..." etc

 

One of the (few) positives from this season has been the improved communication from the club via Ben. He tackles the questions head on and, as far as I'm concerned, answers them as fully as you could expect anyone in his position to do.

Excellent interview.

 

Agree with this completely. No idea how good he is at the rest of the job, but as the public face of the football club he's excellent.
