GoodridgeandGoater Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 love little for what he did in L1, he always tries and he's had some decent games of late but today he was massively exposed. Korey smith was giving more cover than Brownhill - don't know if that was a ploy but without him Kent had him on toast. If we want to progress as a team we need a first choice RB who's a better defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM88 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Love little but if we could get in someone like Darikwa it would be a huge upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 We've got Moore back next season. Should we have Moore as back up, let Little go and get a first choice? Or have Little and Moore fighting for their place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I've been really impressed by his return to form. I think the injuries he's had have really knocked him back. He will always give 100%. A lot of the time early on this season he had no help down the right flank. That's now changed and he's benefited from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't see him playing much next season if he does stay. He would be a good fit for Rotherham or Blackburn next season. I agree we need to improve , i'm just picking up on your comment about him upping his game because he's out of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatn Over Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Agree. Also impressed by his return to form. It was mentioned in a thread a while ago that such a bad shoulder injury creates a lot of complications and takes a long time to fully recover from; I'm no medic but apparently it affects sleep, balance, running, turning as well as critically confidence, something the Little moaners should take note of. Always like Little (unlike the guy behind me in the Dolman ! moans every single time he touches the ball) sentiment with regard to retaining players is something the club has been guilty of in the past, also I agree we will have Moore back but we will need a depth to the squad next season as with any season and I just feel Little can still contribute.

Pickle Rick Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 2 hours ago, Red_Wizard said: If a player only puts in the effort during the end of his contract, then he has the wrong attitude. I find people are a bit too soft at times on this forum, 3 games or so does not merit a contract extension when he's had two poor seasons in this league. If this club wants to progress, then the club need to move players like Little on. You've got the wrong idea here. The guy is fit, committed and finally believing in his ability, not suddenly deciding to start playing for a new contract. He's had a torrid time with injuries and was then thrown into it. I doubted him big time but he's turned himself round at this level. Granted we need 2 RB's though next season. 2 which will compete and perform if given the chance.

Donkeeebles Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 He's played very well recently but you know he's always just 1 bad game away from being "not good enough for the championship". I'd be lying if I said I'm not always a little (pardon the pun) concerned when I see his name in the line up, especially when he's up against someone as good as Kent (who he handled really well) That concern is down to almost 2 seasons of, at best, mediocrity, it's not easy to just forget that.

Agreed, first half he was shocking and even for their second goal he was very pedestrian in chasing back, fair play to the guy he's played well the last few games but overall he's not quite good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I apologise that some of my comments may of been harsh last night. My concern is if Little did get an extension, and then more than likely went back to his original play next season, I'd be 100% people would be moaning why we gave him a contract extension. I'm fortunate I have friends over the country who support other Championship clubs, clubs with history etc. When I see some of the players their squad contains, and then look at ours. You can see the gulf between a top Championship squad, and a squad like ours who are struggling in this league. Where do most of our players go once they leave this club? League 1, where they belong. I just believe it is time to stop thinking small, and start thinking we can rival the likes of Derby, Wednesday, Leeds etc. The structure has been laid, it's time to start believing.

Red Army 87 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Either him or Pack should have taken a yellow card to avoid their second goal, we should be a bit more clever in those situations, as other teams are with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Love Little but it's time for him to move onto a top L1 side and us to sign a Championship quality right back. We tried to do that last summer by signing Matthews who has robbed a living off us this season. Hopefully we'll recruit better this summer.

Was thinking the same thing at the time - as I imagine were most of the management, team and crowd. It was still a decent finish, but the 'correct' thing to do would have been to prevent the opportunity arising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TV Tom Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 He's been a great servant to us but I think he'll be on his way, a good professional who always gave 100 per cent who stole the show at Wembley, he puts that "fraudster" Matthews to shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thought I'd just "bump" this. Another 7/10 performance from him tonight, if he starts again next week I have changed my mind and I reckon we will offer him another deal.

However he is suddenly LJ's automatic pick at RB, we aren't bad payers at all and he may well find we are his best financial option. Think Wilbs will depart, so this decision is really the only one that LJ has to make, as I said earlier, the B'ham team selection will be a very big clue.
