I said it on the match thread so I'll say it here too.  I don't think Hutton has been that bad recently (Not saying he's been great) but he's basically been a bit better than a 3m fullback (that's what he cost right?) and we can't really ask much more than that.

I certainly think there are other priorities than replacing him next summer.

I agree he has shown a lot of improvement in the last 2 games.

Having said that, I'd still be inclined to bid for Clyne in the summer as he'll be available cheaply, possibly even out of contract.  He'd be a good reserve to have to keep Hutton on his toes and maybe replace him if he reaches his potential.

Surely this thread should be called 'The Changing Room'.

'The Dressing Room' makes it sound like it's a theatrical area for luvvies applying make up, throwing hissy fits because the director has shouted at them because they're shite and throwing their toys out of their pram.

Oh yes, right you are. Carry on.

I went up to Newcastle on saturday (for the night out) and come back down to mayhem! Unrest in the camp players not applauding the fans. Feckin twitter causing us more problems. My view on the game did ok going forward defence as we all know is a calamity waiting to happen.  Richard Tonne has to go on (on a diet). Cuellar isnt the centre back we thought. Warnock is hopelessly out of form. I actually spoke to Hutton in Touchwood (solihull) on friday believe me he cares! Thought he looked better. McLeish has to clamp down on any dissent whoever the culprit is. If I had my way we would be left with just Gabby as the senior player! I could make a case for getting rid of everyone else. finally not clapping us on sunday is a feckin disgrace. Our fans were up at all hours from everywhere to get to Newcastle for 13.30 on a sunday and we still took 1300 up. Fantastic support and they dont deserve it! McLeish cares. He made a mistake he should have brought Weimann on instead of Heskey but thats a small issue. Gazza Gardner has to play every game along with Clark who should be made captain. I know bannan tries the 'big' pass all the time but christ at least he attempts things. Get rid of the 'poison' in the summer.

[O'Neill]  sees himself as intellectually wasted on football.
Yes, I'm amazed he didn't find time to root out Maddie, Lord Lucan and Shergar while he was out of the game.

None of them can play rightback.

Glad you like it Kippax. He should be now known as Richard Tonne.

Don't apologise - it was open goal begging to be put away.
