In your opinion Trent but our defence has been shite all season, it's a shame Hutton takes the brunt of it more than others it seems. I am not saying he is immune from critism but I feel the whole defence is as poor as each other. Again,page after page of critism is no worse than his positioning of late.

Yes it has and more often than anyone else he has been responsible for giving away goals. He isn’t the only one getting criticism. He is in absolutely no way a scapegoat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avcol Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I think Hutton is terrible. I think Taylor is terrible on the opposite flank and when Elmo plays, yep terrible. They all deserve and get equal criticism from me. Makes me long for the days of Reo-Coker being slotted in at RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2019 Someone really needs to put up the clip of the second Hull Goal yesterday. You could see it coming. I shouted at the top of my voice "go with him Hutton" as the overlapping player ran beyond him but he just left him and casually jogged into the box instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hutton's 35 remember. He can't bomb up and down the pitch for 90 minutes like a 22yr old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His abysmal final ball should be enough for him to think it's not really worth bombing forward anymore (If it ever was).

AvfcRigo82 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Well, that aside - I hope I'm still invited by you folks to the VT Alan Hutton leaving party when he leaves come June... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the criticism of Hutton being caught up the pitch so often would be more valid if Smith didn't want him to get forward, but that obviously isn't the case. I saw the Spurs - Man Utd game the other week, and Man U consistently targeted the space that had been left by Spurs full backs when they went forward, but surely those full backs aren't just crap, more a case of you can't be in two places at once. And Spurs other defenders did their best to cover for the missing full backs by actually adjusting their positioning, it also helped that they have a bit of pace, unlike us without Tuanzebe. A lot of people who say they want to see us play attacking football get very pissy in the match threads when attacking football actually costs us a goal, it's like asking for attacking football without actually committing people forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 He was partly responsible for second goal. Elphick had come wide which gave him Hutton opportunity to get back and track the runner. What does he do? He just stands there. This is basic stuff man!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, players can't be in 2 places at once, in such circumstances a midfielder should cover....in a 3 the wider one should deal with it, in a 4 the winger should track back I think its more to do with the whole team not closing down sufficiently, standing off is our biggest problem Imv. we simply have too many players in the squad, who don't naturally get in to the oppositions faces.

TRO Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) What i don't understand is....our opinions on Hutton have been up and down with his form....He is typical of most villa players, good at somethings mostly bad at others...with the odd exception. With 8 years in the job and Oodles of managers......How is that progression and an ambition to get out of this league.Alan is a good egg, but a weak link. We really do need to get ruthless in pursuit of players who really are better than we already have....not play lip service to it. I am not saying spend Big......I am saying find Big.

Lord Willard Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Another player we have whose legs have gone. It's a young man's game. You can get away with it at CB if you're a good reader of the game but not at RB, too much running involved. Thanks for the laughs and giggles and the hard work over the years but it's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted February 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2019 I appreciate the team has been useless and we all need a scapegoat but the lack of quality from Hutton is just so saddening, his failure to do anything useful with the ball going forwards is like pure attacking football abortion.
