bobbyhutchscurlymullet Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thought he defended fairly well when he had to, no glaring errors, just caught out of position a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?, he looked to me like somebody on his holidays strolling around looking at the sights and for their goal he was so far out of position he might have been taking a selfie, far too casual all game.

samo II Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Don't agree at all; his aggression and availability for Freeman meant their right hand side was nullified for much of the game. Yes; didn't cover himself in glory for their goal, but the whole move saw multiple errors from multiple players, so not leaving that at his door. Happy for him to continue there in Ayling's absence.

bobbyhutchscurlymullet Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 That was poor defending all over from our own goal kick,couldn't get hold of the ball then all out of position. Pretty much one lapse in concentration all by the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 He is a literal wing back and not an overlapping full back. A football rarity. Ayling is missed, but Wagstaff does offer important protection on that wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Little was perfect away to Charlton, he wasn't great today and I would rather have Ayling. But I'm not sure he needs his own thread ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Aylings injured...who else in the squad is going to fill this place better? Ok Little had an average game...but what other defender doesn't make mistakes that lead to goals in this league. He had an 'average' game...so did others...but we won, and generally we were solid as a team all over the park. Give the lad a break...we all know Ayling would be playing if fit.

He gave the ball away far too often and almost always dangerous positions, he was OK further up the pitch with Freeman, but was generally poor, I am surprised that he is struggling to adapt so easily from his wing back position into his full back position, he just looks off of the pace to me.

From what I saw, he looked like you say...but I really don't think he needs a thread about how poor he was. He had an off game...he's struggling...but who else could we play? Like I said...Ayling would be playing if fit...plus it was a far more solid team performance...and we won. I thought Bryan was off the pace too...but he's clearly not 100% either...strapped up knee and inner thigh. The manager can only pick what he has available to him...and today, I think he got it spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about Bryan, I suspect he was rushed back to enable Tomlin to play central, which is great because Freeman actually looked like Freeman today, but Bryan's best work was defensively IMO. I never mentioned the manager but he didn't get anything wrong his substitutions were spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Can't get on anybody's back after today but Little did look troubled too often. Ayling at Arab and we have a good team there.

REDOXO Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 We won. We are on a run. Not sure yet if Pitman was offside yet, but if he was then you can hardly blame Little for the decision. The bloke is playing in a team that has just won two on the bounce and has hit some form....!!I suppose at least Pack and Freeman are getting a rest! Take the win and move on to Dons. Little has the shirt and there is not much chance of that changing anytime soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth pointing out - Freeman had a really good game today, but he was leaving Little with a lot more work to do behind him (as opposed to Bryan/Golbourne) it was a worthwhile trade off though. We looked a lot more fluid today, was nice to see a good attacking display with a pretty solid defence, and later stages bringing Wilbs and Agard on to keep pressuring their back 4 so they could not push up as they were looking for the equalizer was solid (and playing down the clock.... solid).
