Manning 21:10 - Dec 10 with 4475 views | richranger | I've noticed that Ryan Manning hasn't played for Rotherham since we played them. I know he couldn't play against us, but seems strange he hasn't played since, as he was doing very well for them. I wonder if he, and Rotherham, have been told he's coming back to us next month so they are making do without him? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Manning on 21:50 - Dec 10 with 4353 views | bosh67 | We need him back. We don't have a player who can slip the ball through to the front players. The only one we have is Eze and he should be on the end of them. | ![](/images/avatars/1510.gif) |

Manning on 08:38 - Dec 11 with 3944 views | simmo | He didn't start every game anyway, but could be a niggle, could be that they're playing well without him or perhaps they're getting used to not having him in preperation for us taking him back | ![](/images/avatars/1322.gif) |

Manning on 12:19 - Dec 13 with 2846 views | mcqpr10 | Not sure he's pulled up any trees at there, do think we hype up some of the players that come through the academy too much (bar Eze who i think is special). I would leave him there till the end of the season, not sure he gets in ahead of luongo, cameron or scowen, who despite having a poor season this year, was a regular first name on the sheet performer last year. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

he's a young player who hasn't exactly figured out his best position/way to play. he may be overrated by qpr fans, but hes a decent player the rotherham fans like him, hes been given penalty responsibilities and hes won more than one MOTM its also possible that rotherham knows hes gone in January and are starting other players in his place | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

But certainly good enough for QPR, even if he's not quite a starter. Yet... | ![](/images/avatars/1322.gif) |

My impression is he's had good games but struggled for consistency (understandably) which basically means he's still working through what we already knew about him when we sent him out. I'd suggest he's better off left there undisrupted if we can at all help it while Luongo's away - unless we have a concrete plan for using him for something more than squad cover. | ![](/images/avatars/6250.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

...but I would prefer him as back up to Bidwell at LB unless Rangel went over there with Furlong back in on the right.... If he isn't going to play, leave him there for the season. | ![](/images/avatars/1742.gif) |

Well take away the loan signing of Cameron and we've got Scowen, Luongo and Cousins that can play that midfield 2 / box to box type game. He can also play 10, LB and at a push, LM, so a good card to have in the deck. I would agree that we should keep him at rotherham though, if Luongo wasn't missing for a month. | ![](/images/avatars/1322.gif) |

Rotherham guy who does the answers for this site said he started like a house on fire and faded. Which is very similar to what he did for us. Around the time of the Stoke game I heard the plan was to bring him back and loan Scowen out, who really pissd McClaren off which his Blackpool and Blackburn antics. But that has maybe changed. I'd bring him back January 1, give him the Luongo role for January, and make a judgement towards the end of the month. Although I think in that circumstance he could only go back to Rotherham. Though I think that's the case anyway, as he did have some minutes for us early in the seaosn. Thinking out loud now. carry on. | ![](/images/avatars/1005.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The long-standing unspoken thing about advocating for Manning is that another underdeveloped asset in our still-big squad will get sidelined if he plays. If the club feel certain by now that we don't want to move forward with either Cousins or Scowen then sure, bringing the kid back makes sense. | ![](/images/avatars/6250.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
