ollywhyte Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Think we should bring this guy in till the end of the season to play at right back. Would add experience and reliable quality to our defence. Would fit in alongside O'Neil and Wilbs as an older guiding head, far to many times this season we have been caught out through naivety!

Major Isewater Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Far too complicated to have Joe Bryan and Joe O'brien playing at full back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Not another go at Little. I thought he didn't put a foot wrong today and certainly wasn't to blame for the goal or much else. But he still gets scapegoated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Little played well today. And we already have Matthews and potentially Taylor Moore fighting for his place. Right back is fine for us right now imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 I would be looking at a lower league player, Steven Capegoat. Should replace Little like for like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Unfortunately Little is a scapegoat on here. Certainly has his weaknesses but what bugs me is some won't give him credit when he plays well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Little struggles playing at home more than anything. Fans get on his back a lot quicker than they would any other player & then he no longer wants to run at people or play more than a 5 yard pass. He's not great, but he's not awful either. Yesterday he was our best player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take solace in that it isn't just our fans (France and Arsenal fans with Giroud is a very clear case outside of Bristol). Wasn't it Pack last season, who was then one of our best players after LJ came in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Feel sorry for Little, as others have said he is a trier who never stints for effort. Perhaps the real question should be what have we had out of Matthews so far for 5 months (probably very high) wages? I'll tell you, not much.

Unan Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Generally... Little is shit, you clearly don't know a lot if you think he's good, wether a goal is directly is fault or not. Often lost in no mans land, has lost his pace due to bulking up for the Championship (same as Freeman, Smith & Bryan imo), he can't take a man on let alone cross a ball. What does he do for us? Defend 'okay' at times, doesn't get the ball in to the box and can't pass it through the middle. It's either hit and run down the wing or pass to whoever's in goal.

Cider red Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Little has been steady more often than not since being back in the side, he's not the most natural of footballers but the stick he gets is harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from your post being exaggerated guff, you're also defending people trying to demolish the confidence of what is one of our current first team players. What an utterly terrible idea. No one has said on this thread that Little is a great or even good Championship defender, regardless by all accounts Little had a good game yesterday, and his run of good form earlier this season coincided with our best results of the season. On one hand we could get behind the bloke and support him while he does his job to the best of his ability until a replacement comes in. One the other hand we could give him abuse at every opportunity until, like with Fontaine, he actually does become a liability. And no, he isn't a liability as it is right now, as he currently offers more as a RB than anyone else we have, and while a better player would be preferable, if it makes anyone a liability it is the others in that position. Matthews is a better player, but for whatever reason he just isn't up to last years standard, that is the main issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get on his back, I post on a forum about him, don't shout or groan at games. He's not doing 'to bad a job' right now but he's by far off the quality we should have there.

My own opinion would be every position but there I would like to be walking away with the league like Newcastle are doing with a team that could hold it's own in the premiership ( or whatever it's called ) but I also don't mind watching football in a more interseting league like we are in.
