Bunnski Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 He can't last 90 minutes, he should be back up. He always goes missing for the last 15-20 minutes of games. I'd rather Bree start 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Alan. I thought the first half was probably his best half of football since he signed for us. He was calm in defence, decent going forward and linked up with Elmo well. As other have said, still does the odd barmy thing, but pretty solid today I thought. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Yes played really well today. Could be one of those players raising their game with playing alongside Terry I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjvilla Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 He was ok today, still rather have another option though at rb. Lost his man for the goal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 One of his better games , doubt he has won sky man of match awards very often so fair play to him on winning it yesterday . Some poor crosses thrown in but at least he had an assist and gave his all . Id still prefer bree starting ahead of him though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't "his" man IMO. People just want to blame Hutton for whatever reason, it seems (not you, just generally). Once again, he was absolutely fine.

Stevo985 Posted August 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2017 He was fine. He does the basics of defending pretty well. Justified his inclusion yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I thought that even if it wasn't his man for the goal, he did his standard thing of being sucked into the centre and ball watching without knowing what's going on behind him. My main beer with Hutton is how he affects the team tactically. He's always too far back and gets space, always giving the midfield man a too easy option, which they always take, ruining every attack by going backwards and out to the wing. He then gets closed down, forcing a long ball and giving it away. I know it might look like an agenda but I really think he's the main point of weakness in the team both attacking and defending. He's committed but that's about it. I'd have Bree there in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 6, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 6, 2017 It doesn't matter who's man it was that scored. Hutton was out of position, he should be calling the CB's into position, he has sight of what is happening. Hos job is stopping someone coming in at the back post. I'm not blaiming him for the goal, there were various people at fault but he was certainly partly culpable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this in the main, however as we saw on many occasions last year he is often the player with the ball for us in the final third and 90% of the time our play breaks down, yeah he got an assist yesterday, but how many should he have had in the past 13 months, given his possesssion in good positions. Credit where it's due but still not good enough for where we want to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2017, your fullbacks need to do more than just defend. Hutton isn't good enough long term. But he's ok at this level. As soon as RDL is back I want him in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 6, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 6, 2017 RDL is a far better footballer, or at least was let's hope he is on his return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hutton obviously listens and takes note of what the manager says. The goal came from a driven low ball in. This is ideal for Hogan as he makes those across the front of the defender. Think he'll get quite a few assists like that this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Played well again, but I expect nothing less at this point. It's just laughable watching a winger trying to take him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2017 I hope Bree gets 90 minutes in the cup and wins his place off Hutton. I imagine both Bree and Hourihane are wondering why the hell they bothered joining us. Hutton is bang average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Bree is a prospect and needs game time to develop, brainless playing the utterly average Hutton ahead of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hutton has become somewhat of a fan favourite recently, but I hope once De Laet is fit he is given a go. De Laet + Elmo going forward is a lot more encouraging than Hutton. Hutton's assist yesterday was quite nice, but we need to remember that Hutton offensively is pretty bad. That cross is not the norm with Hutton. Bree and De laet are our future. Hutton will be 33 in a few months and we can't keep him around just because he is doing an okay job.

Not convinced De Laet is any better at all, plus he's coming back from a huge layoff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
