He and Bennett look like they could pass as extras in Grange Hill. And play like it sometimes too...

Seem to remember Lowton having a decent first season to be fair.  Yeah, he is twenty five, but he is still quite new to the top flight, and a lot of players don't peak until their late twenties.   I am willing to give him another year, unless we sign someone who is really that much better.

Meme mock-up of The Inbetweeners 2 with Bennett and Lowton and our other Peter Pans well into their 20's required please (Joe Thomas, aka Simon, is 30 now in fact).

I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion on Hutton since the weekend.  So what do people think now?  He's taken a hell of a lot of stick on here (and elsewhere) in the past.  Is he still a useless clogger who happened to have a rare good game or is he actually a decent mid to upper table right back who hasn't been given a chance?

I still don't see his good form lasting, but credit to him at this moment he is taking his chance and deserves a place in the team.

And concidentally Bennett could have played an extra could be a pupil at Rodney Bennett school - pre merger with Grange Hill and Brookdale though it would also involve a remake of that prior series..

There was one instance on Saturday where Hutton went flying into a challenge that was practically on Stoke's goal-line, in order to win us a corner. I really enjoyed that.

Bit early to judge, granted, but he seems to have taken stock over the last year, worked on his game, and come back looking more like a top-half right back, less like a red card waiting to happen. Here's hoping it continues.

We'll probably have a better idea in a couple of months.

He was woeful in his first season and can only assume this was a mixture of some lifestyle activities and playing under a utterly clueless and terrible first team manager.

Not sure if he got off on the wrong foot with Lambert and co - it appears so.

My guess is he'll try his arse off as is in the last year of his contract.

Defo Rodney

Justin (don't know his surname) was a posh kid from Rodney Bennett which was subsumed by Grange Hill.

I notice that Hutton picked up his first yellow card of the season on Saturday (I like consistency).

Hopefully the competition will give Lowton the spark to regain his form of the last 3 months of 2012-13 season.

I expect Hutton apologised and promised not to be as much of a tit in future. A bit like me......
