What's happened to Little??

[The Goat was fed]

I'm confused about the info - or lack of it - coming from the club about Glen Little.

He wasn't included in the Arsenal squad, nor is he included on the injured list. However, just radio
silence about his availability, or lack of it , for Wigan.

I spell a rat....anyone know what's going on?

[Southbank Old Boy]

I think Coppell said in the Post yesterday that it wasn't worth risking Little against Arsenal because they move the ball about so quickly and Little would be wasted.

Something along the lines of Little is our manipulator of the ball, we wont have the ball very often because they're so much better than us, so I left him out.

He would have been wasted against Arsenal, save him for the games that matter good management, cant believe i just said that, oh well too late now.

They took him out into the paddock behind the Mad Stad and finished him off with an old service revolver.

RIP Blakey.

Starting for the ressies tonight and likely to be involved at the weekend.

Article in todays EP says

Coppell said "Glen is still a bit anxious and he didn't feel comfortable playing against Arsenal after being out for so long. He will play tonight and a great deal of what role he will play on Saturday will be decided after that"


Sounds fair enough to me

[Man Friday]

sounds blimmin' odd to me - I thought he was raring to go, so I'm surprised to hear that he was "feeling uncomfortable playing against Arsenal".

Just plain old Kidology.

It doesn't to me. If you are not sure about your match fitness then surely you would not want to try it out against Arsenal

...or in fact any team if your club is in a relagtion dogfight.

Reasons why there was no point in playing Little against Arsenal:

1) He is coming back from injury and his fitness isn't going to be fantastic
2) He is slow, Arsenal are very very quick
3) We wouldn't and didn't have the ball enough for him to do much.

[Whore Jackie]

I'm expecting at most, a cameo substitute role from Little against Wigan. The nature of the opposition, Coppell's likely game plan and the JJB pitch aren't going to bring out the best of him after his long injury.

A start against Spurs at home is much more plausible.

I think he needs to bust a gut this year, keep us up and retire a true Reading Hero, as i doubt he's got much future in those creeky bones, one last push Glen, one last push...

That made me LOL.

Little is going to have an impact in our staying up. I can picture a cross from Little with a finishing header from Leroy.

Reason FOR playing Little v Arsenal:-
He has been out for all but 20 minutes of the season so needs match practice (even if only for half an hour) v Arsenal ahead of the really important games to come.

Hence his position in our reserves against Portsmouth.
