I can see Hutton getting switched to left back It's not about wanting to hear it. It won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2017 A thought occurred to me the other day. After the dreadful way in which the club treated him, his continued effort whilst wearing the Claret & Blue is an absolute credit to the man. He's certainly not good enough for where we want to be, but I for one hope he gets another goal for the club because it would take the roof off The Holte End.

I wouldn't be 'shocked' but would think Bruce will stick with Amavi. He has already said Amavi will need a good 6 months playing to get back to consistent form. He can't do that from the bench.

ALAN HUTTON I can just imagine the build up Hutton wins the ball from *insert name here* (Costa, Aguero, Zlatan...) A quick give and go to Westwood who does a 1-2 with Gardner, dribbles past 2 midfielders, an inch perfect pass through to Gaby who skins 2 defenders with his pace backheels to an on running Hutton who dinks the keeper with a delicate chip. The Holte End is empty cueing for pies and a Bovril 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney_avfc Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 At least you had a half decent last game. (Brucie please pick Bree ahead of this pretentender for the rest of the season and don't make me look like a dick) Good luck Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Bye Alan - your time here coincided with one of our worst periods, in history. It's not all your fault, albeit you contributed somewhat by not contributing a great deal. B minus for effort, mostly, but your job is done now, and Birmingham City would be proud to have you next, make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 B- for effort, are you sure ? Certain aspects of his game are questionable but effort surely not ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Be surprised if he leaves before the summer. Still, this never gets old eh? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B - is pretty high non? I tend to think he has the label 'Mr Effort' simply because there isn't anything else positive to say about him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) B- would constitute around 80-84% so I'd say it rates pretty well on the effort-scale. non? Edited January 23, 2017 by osmark86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I know he's not exactly a world beater, but I've always thought he gets so much more stick than he deserves. We've seen far worse fullbacks come and go in the time he's been here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like a Championship 2nd choice right back isn't going to play like Cafu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Also where he came from That he followed Kyle Walker How much he cost How high his wages were/are and his performances in the shirt while he's been here. That about covers it I think!! players may well always get more stick than they deserve but then maybe they garner a disproportionate amount of attention for kicking a bag of air about a bit eh?

Tommo_b Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think I'd give Hutton an A for effort, tho possibly a D for quality. At times I almost feel sorry for him, it's like no matter how hard he tries he will never be as good as he wants to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people mean he gets a disproportionate amount of stick for what he does, in comparison to others players, who also kick a bag of air around. Amavi has been far more of a liability defensively which is their main job, but gets nowhere near the amount of stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Amavi has had a relatively short period of poor form, Hutton has been consistently poor since he arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
