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

Hutton?

😂

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.

This, right up there with the play Hourihane and left back idea 

Taking Kante as the protype ideal DM, pace coupled with tackling ability and reasonable passing ability,it would be possible to convert a few full backs into a DM.
Sadly,not Hutton.

I always though JPA would have been great in centre midfield he was the most creative player in the team

[Matt Collins]

Right Alan, what I want you to do is get on the ball and spray it around. Play two touch. And hold your position

OK boss. I normally just get the ball, get my head down and run in a vertical line I until I hit someone.  Can I do that?

[Jon Crofts]

Astounded he’s still here, even more astounded he gets to play.

Time is up. Love his effort and application, but an absolute liability who shouldn’t be anywhere near the first team.

The mere fact he is , sums up how poorly this club has been managed ......no continuity or decent replacement planning - we now find ourselves in another rebuild scenario under yet another manager

[itmustbe_it is!]

How about centre forward - least he'd head towards goal every time he got the ball and we wouldn't need to worry about his defensive frailties

February 2012, Wigan away. That was the day I realised how poor this man is at defending. The away support turned on McLeish that day too. Since then I have been waiting patiently (OK, not patiently) for Hutton's time in the team to end. Despite being bombed out by Lambert, and having his contract actually expire three times, he is still here buggering up our defence.  Seven years.  Seven bloody years.

This guy, McCafu jokes aside, is fucking rubbish.

Have you watched Elmo & Bree lately?

I realise he has his limits but you're  talking about the club's best right back who has dug us out of a hole  by playing left back for the last few weeks now filling in as an emergency left centre half flanked by Elphick & Taylor, a brand new keeper with Wheelan screening.

And despite all this, on a day full of shithouse performances it's still Hutton who gets the pelters?

Elmo has been a walking disaster. As for Bree, maybe there is a player in there, but I'm clearly not seeing what others are. He's OK, he's average and doesn't offer a great deal going forward.

As you say, Hutton is an easy target.

[Ads]

What hole was he digging when he cost us the first goal at the Albion?

[Roysmert]

Bree wouldn't get in Barnsley's team now. As for Hutton he's a legend for that goal, but has struggled with being moved out of position constantly and suffers for being the fall guy in a shite defence.

[UK Redsox]

Hutton is still a class above Bree.

To be fair to him, he had good two seasons in the Championship after we got relegated.  Like the manager though, he should have been thanked for his efforts and released after the play off final. 

He has scored two iconic goals this season, but like others such as Whelan, it is beginning to look a season too far for him.
