It's unfortunate that 1 is injured while the other experienced one has struggled for fitness as well but having 4 right backs would usually seem silly. By pure luck. Vyner went out on loan a centre back, and has come back having thankfully (for us now at least) played a number of games there. Okay; played for us there prior too, but as he had said himself, he's a centre back by trade. And I'll believe Matthews is fit when he gets through a full 90 mins. So, yes; I'll concede we have three, but being Little was playing because Matthews was injured, and now Matthews is coming back to cover Little who is injured, and Vyner only stayed around because they were both injury concerns, and is a central defender by trade, I'm not 100% convinced this situation displays foresight of any sort on our part. I'm hoping Vyner can step up TBH as get the impression Matthews isn't really game for another drop zone scrap, and that would mean we could potentially start against Fulham with both left and right wide areas fully staffed with academy graduates of various vintages.

054123 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Never questioned his effort, but quite simply one of the worst full backs I've ever seen at the club. clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Went up to Peterborough yesterday on business and my hosts were both Posh ST Holders. Knowing I was BCFC the first thing they asked was 'Hows Mark Little ?' Told them honestly that he seems to have slowed a bit but they said he was a very popular player at Posh and missed him when he came to us. Dont wish Injury on any player and hope he recovers soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little was a key part of the only title winning side in my life time, and scored in and help win us a cup final. I'm not saying he's Roberto Carlos, but to say he's one of the worst full backs we've had is hyperbole of the highest order. Edit: and if we're saying full backs as a whole, that Nothern Irish lad we got on loan from Man City might have been a left back, but was ten times worse than Little. Just another in recent memory not fit to clean Little's boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only 'good news', even on your terms, if someone else does a better job. Well Matthews but he is rarely fit. Not sure about Vyner. We have a real problem there but I honestly don't see anyone doing any worse than Little...as much as he tries, he is liability. Good at League One though and we may be back there soon.

Yeah, I don't agree. Not saying he's a world beater, but seen far worse, both for us against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad news. Agreed, he gives it his all inspite of the flak he receives. If he works on closing down the oppo quicker, his awareness & distribution he'll hold his own. Wish him a speedy recovery.

He's got a lot more ability than Orr though. I do think he could do a OK job there but Bradley was a battler and made for that right back role - won headers/tackles etc etc. Whereas Brownhill has a bit more guile/skill etc about him.

BobBobSuperBob Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 In the day of the 'modern footballer' spitting their dummies out I've got real respect for the bloke Out with a nasty injury and a battle to get back he immediately has Adam Matthews signed and is clearly 'second choice' It would look like he's been used when AM is unfit or 'not in the right place' and must realise that, but has given his all in every game There's many players , probably the vast majority who wouldn't have reacted in the same way Little has Nowhere near the awful player some try and make out, and decent enough at the top of tier of L1 if not the Championship No Roberto Carlos but I can't help but struggle to criticise somebody who has a good attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carved out a pretty decent professional career for himself and played up to Championship football , a few medals to boot Atrocious ? If he's atrocious I'm sure there are buckets of Professional Footballers , let alone semi-pros , or top amateurs who wouldn't mind being 'atrocious' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
