zoggy21 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm pleased with all our summer signings but Mark Little has made me feel a little uneasy. He loses the ball a lot when attacking and NEVER tries to put an early ball in. His crossing is poor (however he did put in a good one to Wilbraham last week) and missed 2 pullbacks to give baldock a sitter! Would you rather play Wagstaff!?

TRL Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I think he is there purely for his energy and pace, he puts the opposition on the back foot. He is not the best defensively, nor with his final delivery. He is a all effort wide runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 What with 'he who cannot be mentioned' on the bench and Adam now feeling the love and us winning so Frank can't be blamed- it is only right that we turn to question the ability of this very astute and talented signing. And as for Freeman - he didn't so much as touch the ball for the last 30 mins. tut tut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good all pre season too. I don't think we played that well in general. Pack was not so great v Oxford but class yesterday . In L1 we are more likely to have players who make errors which is why they're L1. And why we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tower crane red Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 little is strong difencively but he lacked composure in the box yesterday when well placed to have a strike at goal or fined baldock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BcFcOneLove Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 His crossing wasn't the best yesterday but he is still an excellent player IMO, he is everything you would want in a wing back! Strong, quick, clever, and confident in getting forward whilst always tracking back.. he's not going to put in a world class delivery every time though, who does at this level??

Aaron-Bcfc Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Agree with the OP. He relies purely on his pace and power to get past defenders, but there's nothing wrong with it as it works. His crossing is quite poor but at least he still gets in dangerous areas regularly, if his end product was good he would be playing at a higher level than this but he will be key for us this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 little is strong difencively but he lacked composure in the box yesterday when well placed to have a strike at goal or fine baldock I don't think he is,Hhe is a player that rushes in and ends up on his ass a lot, he also finds himself out of position a lot defensively. I am not saying he is crap, I just think he is limited,his pace energy and enthusiasm make up for a lot at this level, I think he merits his place, but he has hell of a lot to do to improve his crossing and defending. The good thing is, he is able to get in to good positions,so there is a lot there to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Little was our best player in the first half, his energy levels is brilliant and his pace and power is superb, I'm really happy with the signing.. but there is a reason he's at league 1 level.. his crossing is poor at best if you want a take it easy option, run a few yards then pass it back.. then Wagstaffs your man.

HoldenBall Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 The 3-5-2 helps Litte a lot with Ayling and Smith/Elliot covering.. maybe in a right back position i'd be more worried considering he enjoys attacking more than defending.. But for this level he's a very good signing, and people making judgements on him already need to give him 10 odd games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfctim Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 For all that's said about him defensively, I think he's been more solid than Cunningham so far. Both games we've looked more vulnerable down our left, Colchester really targeted that channel yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red mist Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 The worst thing for me yesterday was everytime he touched the ball yesterday the guy behind me in the Doleman kept calling him Stuart. He certainly not a mouse and doesn't hide if he makes a mistake. He will make chances for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyRed Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 While I am one of those who is quite often negative on this forum, I have to take issue with the OP. I don't see how you can judge someone on 2 league games. Little, for me, was one of the best players on the pitch against the Blades. I wasn't at the game yesterday so cannot comment, but even if his contribution yesterday was poor, it would be inane to suddenly judge him on that, particularly after his contribution against Sheffield. Maybe he had a bad day at the office? We all have them, and so do players. Give the guy a break and let's see how Cotterill's selections pan out over a larger number of games.

Frenchay Red Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 As I said on another thread, the team needs more games to gel. Once they get a better understanding of one another's movement and how and where the ball should be played we will be a force to be reckoned with I hope. IMO Mark Little will be a key part of this.

Sleepy1968 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Good God. He got into some great positions, but made several poor decision with his final ball. So what. Get over it. It's not likes he's, oh I don't know, going to play better in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
