We really have had a lot of shit right-backs over the years, in fact after Mark Delaney (who was nothing that special) there's noone that has been even better than average. Maybe I've forgotten someone?

I'm not a big fan of Hutton at all, he's personally one of the poorest right backs of I've seen down there. Although, apart from his balls up at Blues which nearly cost us a goal, I think he's been decent since Bruce has been here.

His defensive limitations do not get exposed in the Championship. That's why I would prefer to go with a better attacking fullback that can be constructive when we go forward.

Kyle Walker was very good in his loan spell with us. Gary Charles up to his injury I guess

Luke Young was excellent when he first came at right back, MON messed him around a bit shuffling him to LB after he lost faith in Shorey.

Watson, Nelson, Barrett, Cuellar, Hughes, De La Cruz, Richards, Bacuna, Hutton - how many more on our hall of shame?

How dare you! I used to love Earl Barrett. Delaney's main talent was last-ditch tackles in the box that didn't result in penalties and for that I will be forever grateful.

What on earth is Barrett doing there? And you forgot Lowton.

Some decent right backs on that list. Barrett the best of them but Watson and Nelson were parts of good Villa teams that never stood out as bad players. Hughes wasn't too bad. Cuellar got the MON treatment. Richards Hutton and Bacuna comfortably the worst right backs on that list for me.

No way Earl Barrett should be in a hall of shame, even though his best position was probably centre half.  For years, Ryan Giggs used to say in interviews that Barrett was his toughest opponent.

Surely Barrett wasn't all that at right back?

Wouldn't agree re Watson, Nelson, Hughes or Cuellar. Lowton was another special case and not in a good way. Mellberg was okish at right back, Phil Barnsley another one to steal a living with us and other teams.

Earl Barrett?!?

The man Paul McGrath said was his player of the season the year we finished second?

Another vote for Barrett here, he was ace, Giggs never got a kick that one year against him

Bardsley - in fairness he's still getting a regular game for a safe PL team.
