To be fair to Luke Young, he was absolutely solid. Even played most of the season at left back and was still great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he'd actually be near the bottom. 1. Mark Delaney 2. Luke Young 3. Kyle Walker 4. Matt Lowton 5. Olof Mellberg 6.Ryan Bertrand 7. Carlos Cuellar 8. NRC 9. Alan Hutton 10. De La Cruz 11. Didier Agathe Would rank him 11th for his inability to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) He deserves a contract extension for 1 more year imo. Even at 35 he would be a great backup to have as cover in either FB position in this league. Edited March 3, 2019 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A comparison to Agnonlahor is ridiculous, they're at the opposite ends of the scale. I meant complacency of the management....we could have got better years ago. Yes I agree, his attitude cannot be compared.....but I was talking in the context of the clubs complacency, not the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Not sure if it's been mentioned, an I am a Hutton fan. He has a lot of the ball, but he destroys any creativity with his poor crosses. Dare I say without him today we looked so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy wouldn't have scored yesterday if Hutton had played. Hutton would have ran that instead of passing, taking him out of position as well.

I thought the opposition had much less licence out on the wings without Hutton and Taylor. Both of them seen to constantly get sucked inside leaving acres of space for oppo wide players to exploit. To me it was very noticeable that Derby did not have that space although Derby were of course dreadful so it may have been more to do with their failings than our good defensive play.

Perfect end for him this year, that goal against the Blues will live on forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
