I'll continue to whisper this quietly, but Mannion is/was a better keeper than Mitov.

Mitov will either be at Aberdeen for years or he’ll go to the top end of the championship to a big club like Sunderland. That last year he was with us he was immense and mannion is nothing more than a solid league one keeper

That last year he was with us he was immense and mannion is nothing more than a solid league one keeper Mitov wasn't as good as people believed. He was prone to a fair few mistakes, flapping at crosses, being way out of position at times. However, he was a formidable shot stopper and had about 6 months, which included the Newcastle game where he was imperious. Mannion was a very solid, strong and reliable keeper. He was first choice for a couple of months in the 22/23 season when Mitov was injured and shouldn't have lost his place when Mitov recovered. But for whatever reason, Bonner never rated Mannion. Hence making Stevens first choice in 2023/24. Their respective next clubs says it all: a lowly St Johnstone, rumoured to be on less than at Cambridge, and Charlton with a heavy investment in the first team and a clear favourite for promotion this season. However, I'm comparing two very good goalkeepers - two of the best we've had in decades. Shame they were in the same squad. I'd have either back in a heartbeat.

Great to see both getting such good reviews at their new clubs.
Charlton have been linked to a couple of other goalkeepers like Karl Hein, Ruddy and someone else I can't remember so I get the impression Mannion was signed as back up...hopefully he's done enough in pre-season and in the first 3 games to change that view though.
As for us, not surprised we decided to change our first choice goalkeeper this season - I am surprised we went so young with it though. Reyes is our youngest keeper, right? Younger than Chadders even.

Mannion is probably earning 3 times what we offered. He would’ve gone anyway regardless of his standing here.

I got the impression he wasn't going to be chosen for international duty while playing in League 1.

Only one I've spoken to has said he's barely had anything to do yet, but has been solid enough.

It’s not a hard and fast rule, but often enough it’s easy for a busy keeper in a poor team that concede a lot of shots to look great. What you don’t know until you put them in a better team, is if they’re capable of having a quiet 89 mins and stay focused enough to save the points with a last minute worldy.
