Difficult one but I'd probably go for Hutton.

and there's the problem with not replacing Hutton
The problem with not replacing Hutton, is you are left with Hutton.
Seriously though, I think Hutton will be comfortable at Championship level, wasn't there some stat recently about him being our fastest player and in the top 10 fastest PL players last season.

He's good enough to play in the Championship.

But why is he ? the same faults in his game will still be there as always. He's 'ok' defensively (well, when he's in position) but he's completely useless going further up field.

We're not playing pub teams this season, it's a very competitive league with lots of decent players who will exploit his weaknesses no doubt

The problem is that he is only fast in one direction. Add into the equation that the statistic is more than likely without the ball.

I still cannot see what parts of his game make people think he will be good enough at this level.

Hutton flatters to deceive. His forays whilst welcome against a back drop of ugly dull football, they rarely amount to anything except our right back being at the wrong end of the field.

I don't think replacing Hutton is a necessity. So, I think we'll be looking at 2 maybe 3 more - midfield, wide player (maybe), and forward.

What does Hutton offer that makes you think he is adequate even at this level, putting aside the fact we would have to replace him if we get promoted.

Nothing more than a bang average player. But we're not going to go up with a team of 11 premier League level players so in some areas we will have to do with what we have. Hutton is a Championship level player and should be okay for the season. I wouldn't want him any further past this season though.

Apparently Man U are looking to send Wilson on a seasons loan. Worth a shout?

I suppose it depends on how we are going to play, if its full backs bombing on - I would not want Hutton doing that again. But I still think he's good enough for this league.

Hutton is quick. That instantly makes him one of the better full backs in the league.

Hutton is the least of our worries for this league.  Besides, he has the right attitude which is a damn sight more than the majority of the rest.

Think Hutton will thrive on the rough tough feeling of the championship. Also `big`tackles are more acceptable in this league ....
