Josh Murphy then. A couple of things Grant Ferguson said about him to us at the kit launch:
- Still has a role to play.
- Is difficult to motivate.
- Unlikely to play for the full 90 minutes very much, if at all.
Clearly very talented - some of his cross-field stuff at Port Vale last season was excellent, and he's earned himself another chance vs Cheltenham, but clearly the club think he has some issues preventing him reaching is potential. I can't remember exactly what he said, but Ferguson intimated that this is a view that has continued under Manning. My view is that the difference here is that Manning seems more likely to find a constructive way of making that work for us, even if it's only sporadically.
