Title: colin little
Post by: letsbyavenue on December 29, 2007, 06:32:13 PM
 Anyone out there who doesn,t think little is a spent force. Good service given but now it's time to go. Most attacks today broke down when the ball was placed at his feet. Thje fancy flicks don't work: whats needed is hard graft and simple but telling balls.

If Mcfadden starts again (which he surely will do) and plays well again then I would personally drop Little and start with Senior and Mcfadden when Chris is back from suspension.

It is often said that defenders don't like forwards runing at them. The likes of Logan & McFads can do that.  I don't know if it will make a difference, but it might be worth a try.

Nonsense.

Little is still our best player and to my mind the only one that actually looked capable of scoring today.

Agreed, not clinical enough, to many flicks and when things go wrong to apologetic!! Seems to be going through the motions to me.

Don't get me wrong he was a good player and has always tried his best for Alty, unfortunately that isn't good enough anymore. It's time for someone new.

Is he to much of a disruption in the dressing room also?

Its been a hard season for Colin, give him a break. I thought he played ok today and could have had a couple of goals. He is still second highest league scorer.

I do agree we need to look for new blood to give us options upfront.

Why would he be a disruption in the dressing room? I have always thought he was one of GH's biggest supporters.

I'm not disputing that he's one of GH's biggest supporters, but how are the other players around him? Does he come across as doing what he wants in games and not necessarily playing to the tactics that the team are set?

Was he (as one of the longest serving players currently at the club) a reason behind Dalton going or was it a collective team effort to oust him?

What evidence is there to support this theory???  It's just pure speculation!!

Which is why we should be offered an official explanation for Daltons departure.

See you next seaason Mr Macc supporter ;)

Yeah sure.  We'll see you next season!!

We won't get relegated and unfortunately your shower will (that's if they don't put Wrexham into the LOW) in which case you'll get your forth 'get out of jail' free card.

Two divisions apart it will be next season.

WE'LL NEVER PLAY YOU AGAIN.

Never say never

Look where Boston ended up.

With saint Graham at the helm we may just avoid the drop if some of these new players are any good.

Heh, I love that one. So many teams say it and it comes back to haunt them.

p.s. Did you use to play in goal for Redditch Utd?

For what it's worth, I was talking to Ken Mckenna in the bar after the match & he thought Colin was our best player yesterday.

I know the unibond was a whole different matter, but who remembers the havoc a fully fit Rod Thornley used to wreak by running at defences? We seemed to get a penalty every game. (two at Lancaster in the cup). I wouldn't mind seeing if Logan could play at centre to run at defences.

Clubs should learn to manage their finances and live within their means then shouldn't they!?!?   ;)

Ken Mckenna attends Alty home matches quite frequently when The New Saints are not playing & has done for a few years.I believe that Graham & him have a good relationship but have no idea if he would be interested in the Assistant Manager's job or indeed if Graham would want him as a number 2, but it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up at Alty at some point.

If GH is considering his future, maybe Ken as No.1 and GH as No.2, perhaps something is already being discussed.

However with 5 new players and some under performing players leaving, I am happy to give GH some time to get things right. But if a seamless switch can be done they I wouldnt argue with it.

Having the above would keep some continuity and maybe help us move ahead.
