*Confirmed* Glenn Little out for 4-6 months

[Daniella]

Think this is the end of Glen, he's just too injury prone.
By far the best winger I've seen in a reading shirt though and will be a sad day when he officially hangs up his boots. I fear that might be this summer to be honest.

Latest on Little.

Glen Little went under the knife on Wednesday for an achilles operation.

I spoke to Glen out in Sweden this morning but i wish i hadn't because my phone bill will be enormous

He tells me he's on Episode 23 of the first series of Prison Break, with another seris to go, he can't move much!

John Fearn was over with him and bought back some beautiful photos on his phone. They've cleaned up the wound, the scar tissue.

We've got great confidence in the surgeon, Glen will be out there until Monday and then he comes back to start his rehab.

We're happy with how its gone, if we had our time again we'd do things differently but we thought we could fix it. We had to be more radical in the end

If that was the case I ssupect Geln wouldn;t be bothering with the op. At his age you don;t have such major surgery unless the prognosis is good. No point going through the pain and the hours of rehab if there is no chance of getting back into football.
If you are 20 you'll do anything to try and get fit again, at 34 you think differently.
Of course it may not work, but I think it is a positive sign that he's had the op and look forward to a few cameos towards the end of the season.

I think Glen will be back this season to play a part in a handful of games towards the end!! Until then let him enjoy watching prison break

It really depends on how serious the injury is. It's just possible that without surgery he might struggle to recover to the extent that he could live a normal active life, let alone play professional football.

However, just for once, I'm hoping you are proved to be right!

I don't think it is that sort of injury. He seems to have been getting back into light trainingthen not being able to step up, and he seems to be walking around OK.
We shall see - I too would like to be right for once ! maybe we can compare notes in 6 months time !!

[Daniella]

When he gets back his other will go. I love glen little but he's injury prone. Some player's are just like that, darren anderton, kieron dyer, etc They are just cursed and thats the way it is. Been a cracking player for the club but at his age we've seen his best days, even if he does ever get match fit again.

Lets face it, if you are a club, in the Premiership, and John Oster is the best option you have...you are struggling and you are in trouble. End of.

Let's see what you say when Oster gets a couple of crucial assists over the next couple of matches...

[Daniella]

Im a fan of oster personally. He's the only player apart from little and Kitson with a premiership brain. He always plays the ball ahead of players where they should be running, rather than where they are stood. He likes to play with pace. The goal against blackburn we conceded went down as a bad ball, but if shorey was attacking where he should of been he would of got there first and had space. He's clever with his passes and he can beat players. Can't wait until oster is back.

Certainly agree with that. Oster's only start this season, he was fantastic against Chelsea-shocking decision to drop him for the Everton game and for what its worth, if he hadn't been dropped he probably wouldn't have picked up the injury he did, in theory

Oster is a good player but over does it a lot in my opinion, he does tend to try and over do it sometimes with passes which puts us in danger, usually in the middle of the park. I.e Bentleys goal against us last season

[The whole year inn]

Good job we signed a right winger in the transfer window then

Exactly, the whole Glenn Little situation (his injury and lack of replacements) is a monumental fcuk up from the manager and backroom staff.

Point proven a bit today, though was his first game back for a while

Even in that time it was still the archetypal Oster performance - that's as good as it gets.
