Manquer whatever confusion

I fear I may be forever confused by your explanations of manquer whatever. I'm in favor of the spaced repetitions method but I think your system puts too much conflicting information in at one time. I need to let manquer fade from my memory and then try another approach. Any suggestions?

Le jour suivant / Le jour précédent have to be used on their own, but they don't?

"As for le jour suivant (on the following day) and le jour précédent (on the previous day), they are used in a past context just like le lendemain and la veille, but always on their own."

And then you give the examples: "Il a été relâché le jour suivant son arrestation."; "Le jour précédant leur premier rendez-vous, ils étaient très nerveux.".

So, do they have to be used on their own, or not?

Why is this in the subjunctive. ‘Espérons que les nouvelles recrues aient un impact.....’

Thought espérer does not take subjuntive.
