Still one of my favourite players of all time. I don't look in to that one too much though. Now I'm typing it, I never thought I'd say that about anyone guaranteed to miss a 1v1 with an open net. He's had his moments though and to me there's a balance there. I think it a bit harsh not to give a testimonial to someone with over 300 games. His goal record isn't even that horrific. I wouldn't attend a Gabby testimonial if it took place in my back garden tbf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's easy for me to suggest, I wouldn't have to attend, living in Australia and all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he won't even make the bench imo, and rightfully so. Hogan will start and Davis and Grabban will be on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I don't think he'll ever make our match day squad again and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few polystyrene fast food containers blowing around and a small pile of Nitrous oxide cylinders on the carpark floor next to where he used to park at the training ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont need him. Grabban should be on the bench if Whelan makes way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 On 2/3/2018 at 13:21, markavfc40 said: I think Hutton is a lesson to Gabby as to what might have been. Like Gabby Hutton is not the most technically gifted player but what he lacks in ability he makes up for in desire and determination. Hutton has to be one of the fittest players at the club and something that isn't often talked about one of the quickest. That doesn't happen by accident though that is because he has kept himself in top condition, trains hard and gives his all. I'd imagine Hutton will still be playing at a decent level for another five years where as Gabby, who is a couple of years younger, looks to be pretty much finished. Gabby has wasted the last 4 or 5 years and despite him applying himself in the right way under Bruce, and showing signs of having a bit of a swansong, the damage was already done and he simply can't stay fit for prolonged periods . What a waste but he only has himself to blame. I think a number of players have shown that Steve Bruce's pursuit of Character ( possibly first) mirrors the thoughts of his mentor Ferguson and the Iconic Shankly.....and also Lord Ron of Witton. We have been bankcrupt of this crucial attribute in our players for years, bar one or two........ thankfully it is gradually returning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he won't get a new contract off the back of a goal in his first appearance for six months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2018 He's going to come off the bench on Sunday in the 89th minute. Snodders will bounce the winner in off his fat arse, he'll wheel off towards the Holte End to celebrate and just keep on running right out the ground, waving as he goes. Never to be seen again. I think there's an ending we could all get behind. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
