So in a way the likes of Hutton have been brought back out of desprartion, but thing is it is kind of the manager's way of admitting his mistakes and up till now has worked quite well so why complain or question it?

The massive waste of money and talent that didn't need to happen? We've paid Hutton somewhere in the region of £4m since Lambert took over, and for the majority of that time we've had nothing out of it. Based on his form this season, we could have had a competent right-back for the last two and a half years rather than the last two and a half months.

It's great that he's now an important player for us, but I think the bulk of the credit for this should go to Hutton for his professionalism.

I'd agree with Dave's last line. He hasn't moaned about the situation he's been in and just got on with it. I'm not a massive fan of him as a player but he's been a plus for us this season and that's down to him.

I hope he gets the first at the Shrine and just stands in front of the Brummie Road end with his hands aloft.

This, please McGrath, Little, Santa, this. With a perfect picture taken from behind him that I can steal, get blown up to poster size, emblazoned with the words " Merry Christmas", and, under cover of darkness, sneak it into the Express&Star sandwich board outside the post office.

I'm not sure I'd be moaning if I had been banking £30 - 40,000 a week for just training either!!

I agree with your second sentence though.  He is still prone to the odd error, but has been solid enough so far this season.

The amount of high pitched squealing that would ensue if that happened would be enough to shatter every pane of glass in a two mile radius.

Huge credit to the Lad.

Was delighted he scored yesterday. If anyones deserved a goal this season it's Hutton. He's worked harder than anyone and been our most consistent player.

From Henry Winter,s match report in the Telegraph :
  “Hutton dressed as Lahm” as one Villa wag remarked.
...............Godzvilla!

Hutton ought to renamed Lazarus. Fair play to him, in my humble opinion he's been our best player this season.

To be fair, "Hutton dressed as Lahm" is brilliant! Worthy of a thread re-titling??

[Dave]

It was brilliant when it was first used on here more than three years ago.

Except that he couldn't have looked any less like Lahm back then!

It was a bit of pillow talk and I did tell her not to mention it again but there we are.....

Couldn't be happier for him. Well played sir, what an inspiration. Hope he maintains this form.

They should cancel the vote for PFA player of the year and give it to him, because I doubt there's a better example of professionalism in the English game.
