RDL, and Bree. Although Alan can also cover Left Back, one of them would definitely have to go. So unfortunately, it seems the best thing to do would really be to sacrifice him.

TRO Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 On 2/3/2018 at 22:20, Keener window-cleaner said: I think it's a good decision not to give him a new contract. For all of his good attitude, energy, running and commitment, he still can't pass the ball properly. And he is a liability, although he has been more reliable of late. What is worrying for me is the reasons given, that we can't afford to give out any new contracts. If that is true, does it mean that even if we go up, we can't give out new contracts? Never mind signing any players? No.....They have said that the decision could be reversed, depending on where we finish up at the end of the season.....If we stay in this division, we will have cut backs, so why give new contracts out now? so all Alan has to do is score 40 odd goals , get us promotion and his job is safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Didn't offer much going forward today but very solid at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) He didn't go forward that much but made some useful forward passes, good game overall. Edited February 11, 2018 by poitier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2018 Good game Alan. However, it was a bit funny when he had to set up his position perfectly to be able to make a simple pass to Albert with his left foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2018 Today summed Hutton up. Lots of running and effort but absolutely woeful when called upon for a final ball. Summed up VP's love for him too. Couple of times today Hutton went on a good run, was picked out, and then delivered a dreadful pass. Yet VP sang his name after it. Bit weird. Anyway, can't fault his effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 He had a chance to shoot before half time, pity he didnt try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I know I'm in the minority but I really like Alan Hutton and am glad we have him in our team. Yes he can be reckless, can get caught out of position and makes questionable decisions but he gives 100% every game and seems to really care.

Provides consistency in the squad, is a good professional and can cover both left back and right. Also galvanizes him for the rest of the season playing for a new contract. However if we go up I hope that we will be purchasing 1st team starters in both of those positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose we want to keep things as stable as possible if we do go up. There will have to be massive changes so keeping the first choice left back (on a short term deal) may be a sensible idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems people are under the impression that we are going to sign 11 world beaters as soon as we get promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go up, I would hope we would try and keep as much consistency as we can from this seasons squad. Re upping Hutton would be a sensible part of that. As well as permanently signing as many of our current loanees as we can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully people will buy into the plan to consolidate our place in the premier league and then push onwards from there - it won’t happen overnight . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
