It's very interesting what has happened to Will Mannion.
Kaminski comes in, he drops to sub for the first game and then plays against Stevenage in the cup where he has a good game and it is rumoured he gets a slight knock.
But since then Maynard-Brewer has sat on the subs bench and actually played against Cambridge with Mannion on the subs bench. So he must be fit unless NJ wanted to put a crocked goalkeeper on the bench.
And after M-B hardly had an inspired game the other night, he still sits on the sub bench whilst Mannion disappears completely from the squad again.
Has something happened behind the scenes that has made NJ relegate Mannion to the number 3 position?
I think Mannion can consider himself a bit unlucky to at least not start the season as the number 1and I'm far from convinced (so far) that Kaminski is a huge improvement.
Any ideas why Mannion wasn't on the subs bench today?
Its either fitness related, because Mannion didnt get to have a Pre-Season, and then got injured after Stevenage... Or we'll be seeing him heading off before the end of the window, as he doesnt want to be a No.2
Think he's the most telling name to keep an eye on, on Monday
It’s a shame, but I don’t think there’s much between Mannion and AMB. Mannion started the season, kept loads of clean sheets. Got injured. AMB got his chance, kept loads of clean sheets, then got injured. Mannion came back in, again kept a load of clean sheets and we went up.
I can imagine that Mannion is on higher wages than AMB and is probably less likely to want to be a number 2, so makes sense if he is the one to leave.
Kaminski is the better keeper. Hasn’t really had a great deal to do the first 4 games (admittedly didn’t see the second half today). It helps having such a solid defence.
He shouldn’t be a number two , clearly showed last year he was a good keeper. Personally feel we’ve misspent the budget get Kaminski in there were more immediate areas of concern and Mannion was not one of them
Mannion was very solid at the end of last season and I expected him to start the season.
I don’t feel overly confident with Kaminski. Should have saved the first today. Hesitated for the third like he did against Watford and was lucky not to give a pen away then.

Signing Kaminski hasn’t stopped us being able to improve other positions in the squad though? We’ve made signings in all areas, with only a WB expected to join before the window closes, which wouldn’t have necessarily been signed sooner by not signing Kaminski.
I don’t think the problem is Kaminski in our team at the moment. Also, I feel Mannion is a better goalkeeper than AMB. He commands his box a lot better and that helps the defence out. I think that’s one of the reasons why Gillesphey played so much better towards the end of last season. Earlier on when Mannion was out injured and AMB was in goal he seemed more unsure and made lots of mistakes.

I do not think Kaminski is an improvement on Mannion or Maynard-Brewer.
Mannion is calm commanding but not a great shot stopper , in my view . Both he and AMB had good records behind solid defences last year. Whether Kaminski is an upgrade remains to be seen but I didn’t decry Jones from buying another keeper . He wanted a different first choice at the start or last season, don’t forget, but couldn’t secure one .
