MATCH QUOTES

“It is only a minor operation [Brian Little’s stomach operation] and if everything goes to plan Brian could even be back in the reckoning for Saturday’s match against Manchester United. “Brian has done tremendously well for us recently. He has turned out week after week although he has not been really up to it but after Saturday’s match the specialist decided that he would have to have the operation.” "He [Evans] argued with the ref after the first booking, which didn't help. I had no real complaints, although you could say it was harsh." Ron Saunders.
