His job should be to man-mark whoever the oppo's most attacking player is. He did well against Traore when he did just that. Don't let him think as he's not very astute; however, given a specific task and he'll execute it well.

Good question. None of them are long term solutions and all three are probably on a fair whack as well. Bin em all, thanks for the effort Elmo

Anybody that hates one of our own players should not be supporting the team. We all have opinions about players but that should not extend to hating them. Conversely,  we have to accept criticism of players we like without going on a frenzied attack of the poster or spreading the blame by picking on other players.

Personally,  I have never rated Hutton because of his defensive positioning and switching off. I do not dislike him because of this but I almost always think there are better alternatives to him. I respect him as a professional to keep going and wanting to be involved.  There have been and are far worse players picking up wages that should be nowhere near the club.

He looks like he's running frome the police when he bombs down the touchline. Big heart but by christ he and almahamdy are poor defenders.

If we get a left back in the window, what about as a holding DM instead of BB/Whelan?

If no-one was coming in directly, who out of the following 4 who would you prefer as DM - BB/Whelan/Jedinak/Hutton?
Genuine question as each has their merits and limitations.

Hutton would honestly be in 5th on the list of 4 you've given.

put all the names into a hat and pick one out before every game
wouldn't matter an iota which one got picked as there is nothing between the lot of  them

genuine answer to your question

He's a woeful player. Gives his all, but he's shocking.
