I see McLeish has flown them to Newcastle but it isn't snowing where they are stopping so must be on the coast as it is snowing in the city.

I went out on a limb on Wednesday night by saying I've got a feeling Hutton's actually going to turn out to be a good player for us.

I thought Hutton interchanged pretty well with the likes of Ireland and Keane when attacking in the second half on Wednesday.

going to grab my helmet before i post this... based on wednesday's performances i'd rather have hutton then young all day.

I'd rather have Young, but I also thought that Hutton acquitted himself very well indeed on Wednesday. Partly helped by Cuellar drifting over to the RHS when required.

Hutton's best games have been alongside Cuellar - the home games against Arsenal and QPR.

That isn't necessarily Huttons fault though. If his caught when we are on the attack your CB's are expected to cover.

Just to add the Huttons list of good points, not very big yet i know, the third goal at Wolves came from a tidy ball into the box.

Is it just coincidence dazzy g and Chris Smith both disappear on the same day?

To lose one loon may be considered unfortunate..

Did I miss something, what happened to Dazzy and Chris Smith?

I havent changed my opinion of Hutton, gives the ball away too many times, dives in when he dosent need to, gets caught out of position a lot, lacks pace on the overlap and stamina to get back, he does put in a decent ball every so often

I'll always have a special place in my heart for Hutton after the challenge on Long
