I'm sure Hutton struggled with things off the field, and I doubt it takes much of a distraction to affect a player's physical fitness and mental focus sufficiently for them to fall short in this league. Maybe things are different now and he can be a useful part of the team.

At least it looks like he is trying.

Watch out Shane Long

[Risso]

Hello Risso, nice to see you back.

Thanks Percy, and everybody else. 

[Duncan Shaw]

Whatever his ability, and hopefully he can keep up Saturday's good form, we can do nothing but praise his attitude.  He never bad mouthed the club or went to the press bleating ( there were a couple of interviews when he was on Scotland duty) and he seems to have taken his chance to be back in the fold very well.  He was the first to jump on Andi to celebrate on Saturday and fist pumped the crowd admirably.  Even if he just ends up being competent this season it will be a huge bonus in that position.

I don't think he was as bad as we made out he was under McLeish, I just think he copped a lot of our frustrations from that season. And i'm not saying he was great either!

I will give him a lot of credit for his attitude as well as his performances since getting back in to the side.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

I have a lot of respect for the way Hutton has conducted himself through his time at Villa. And the way he is now playing. May it all continue ........

[Risso]

I just can't understand what the club were hoping to achieve with their treatment of him.  Completely excluding him made his resale value next to nothing, and I bet we didn't get much, if anything, in loans fees for the periods he was at places like Forest and Bolton.  I know that the wages and general finance issue had to be sorted, but you don't do that by continuing to pay players for not playing, and making them unsellable.  I don't recall him causing much trouble either.  I know he was present at the Chris Herd nightclub incident, but even in that footage he didn't appear to be doing much wrong.  But whatever, it's just good that he's being given another chance.  He's a better defender than Lowton, if not as good going forward.

Hello Risso, nice to see you back.

Thanks Percy, and everybody else. 

Boooo. Risso is back. Bomb squad him. Booooo!

Welcome back buddy.

[Ron Manager]

Could it be Eastie is due a recall from the bomb squad?

[Legion]

Unlikely. He is quite happy now over at TBAR.

[mr underhill]

nobody stays happy for long on TBAR

[Woofles The Wonder Dog]

I know it's only a couple of games in but:

If the answer to the question is: "Alan Hutton"

In what sort of drug-addled state would I have had to have been in a couple of months ago to have come up with: "Where can we find a robust and reliable right back."

Kudos to the bloke. Long may it last.

[PeterWithesShin]

He has got a lot of respect from me for how he has got on with the job and has looked very good.

[Rudy65]

And seems to have cut out the kick everything that moves attitude.

Fair play to the guy for wanting to even play for Lambert after what happened

[peter w]

You have to say that not many of the so-called bomb-squad made any type of waves whilst not playing.

[dekko]

Out of contract at the end of the season, PANIC!
