CTRed Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I'm the first to admit I slated him big style, saying he was a liability. Credit where it is due, he has grown into this league, yes, for me, he's not a first choice RB for a team that wants to be challenging for promotion but he has certainly been good for us and I'm delighted for that. Massive credit to LJ, exciting times. BTW-as an exile, what unbelievable support and noise for the team in the EFL Cup game. Have yet to see the league game but with 8 times as many fans hopefully it was comparible. Well done to all. PLEASE post YouTube clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Maybe he's finally getting over that shoulder injury completely. I feel like maybe we rushed him back in too early, he couldn't move the same and his confidence dipped. Maybe now he's getting over it and is back to 14/15 form.

CTRed Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Absolutely. I believe we let the wrong RB go in Ayling but ML has been tremendous and I'm delighted. It's great to be proved wrong when BCFC is concerned!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTRed Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 No idea, I am in the States. I think 2700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 2600 officially. But I'm over from the states too and there were many others dotted around. On Mark Little. He was given quite a game in the first half by the two wide men. I thought he acquitted himself very well and has his place on merit from anyone else we have. Brilliant for the guy and it's noticeable that people are starting to get off his back a bit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 With Matthews still not fully fit (or being our player) I still worry about the RB position. I felt it was our weakest position last season until Matthews came. Feel it is still our weakest position, if we had a Golbourne/Bryan combo for RB i'd be very happy.

Luxo Jr. Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Watching him, he still looks like he lost a lot of pace in that injury and hasn't quite got it back. A few times he got the ball clear, but it was backs to the wall, skin of the teeth defending. However, what I did see was a couple of attempts at the classic Mark Little bomb down the wing. None of them quite came off, but was promising to see. Definitely a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 He`s nowhere near as bad as some on here make out (pub player etc.etc.). He always does what`s asked of him and while not the most skilful of players does his best for the team and always puts in 100%. I don`t get the abuse he gets on here, some of it quite nasty, but haters gotta hate I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 He always seems to struggle in the first half of games then improve. A lot of Fulhams attacks in the first half came down his end, not so much second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure people are hating on him, just rightly pointing out that RB is one of our weaker positions. Is Little as good a RB as Bryan or Golbourne are left backs ? Our first choice LB can be pushed up into MF or winger and do well with Golbourne taking over and being just as effective as LB, can we do the same with Little ? If we had the same options for RB as we do LB we would have more options / flexibility as well a good cover for the position, as it is we seem lacking in that position.

I don`t disagree mate but there have been some very unpleasant things posted about Mark by certain people on here, it`s like they`re just waiting for him to fail just so they can get on his back. I just can`t see what pleasure they get from writing abusive and totally unhelpful things about one of our own players. They retreat back into the woodwork when that player`s performances improve only to re-emerge when he has a game which they consider to not be to their standards. Why can`t they just support the team and if they feel the need to criticize do it constructively without resorting to nasty remarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he's been pretty solid and does not deserve any hate - all our players do their best and.. well people seem to have forgot that bloated overpaid squad we had not long ago where players just seemed to go through the motions and saw us struggle and then crash out of the Championship - setting us back a few years as we had to see out contracts and restructure - every player we have seems to give 100% and all seem to have a great attitude to the team / fans and manager.

Only at the moment, when Mathews is fit the we're OK. At the moment Little is doing a decent job as a back up. If he can get his early season promotion form back then it's even better. I imagine that we are still looking for another RB , if not for Jan then maybe in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Don't forget next season we have Vyner back. Feel he could be another Bryan and Reid If problem this season, can't Ekstrand fill in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
