Pring is also more of an obvious transitional player against an Ipswich side who are likely to want to dominate the ball. It could be coincidental but when Manning declares the team needs leaders, he’s an obvious figure in that regard. The issue being, after so few minutes this season, can he really be expected to start two games inside four days? The Robins need consistency and invention in possession when they get the ball and Williams and Gardner-Hickman have proven previously they’re capable of such, now is the time to rediscover their best.
