Alan McCafu

I hope to fuck that it hasn't??

Ha! I'm pretty sure that Bruce said something recently that indicated that his number of appearances this season have triggered a clause that gives him an extension of a year. That's what's in my head, anyway. Could have been a weird cheese dream, I guess, but I normally only have them about Gary Penrice enjoying a platonic relationship with Andrea Dworkin.

He's deserved it - always gives 100%.

Mine are about Katie Hopkins playing naked leap frog with Alan Titchmarsh.  No cheese required. 

Hutton's star is in the ascent.  Expect to see him managing Rangers one day.

I'm quite happy to have Hutton one more year. He's not the best player in the world but his attitude is top drawer. He's a model pro, of which we've not had nearly enough of in recent years. On the pitch since he's been here he's often been expected to be our most creative player and then to be defensively rock solid too. He'll run that touchline all day long, but he's McCafu, not Cafu. It was our failing in seemingly always knocking the ball out to the right and expecting him to beat defenders and deliver quality crosses. That has, for too long, been almost our only attacking tactic. From McLeish, through Lambert through the rest and even in some Bruce games. But that's a lack of any discernable attacking gameplan.
Now at least we've got the inklings of some effective play and certainly Adomah and Kodjia have got a good understanding. We're playing well at the moment, and in turn Hutton is looking better. But, like other players, when you play well as a team, the pressure is off individuals somewhat.

We're in the Championship again next year so there's absolutely no harm in keeping Hutton, even at 33-34. It takes the pressure off Bree a bit to have experienced back up if needed. You always know assuredly that Hutton will work hard when called upon and for better or worse not pull out of anything (that's what she said...).

Gary Penrice?

If McCormack had Hutton's attitude we would in an automatic promotion spot by now. He is worth having on the books just to show a good example to other players.

He had a decent game again yesterday although it helped that he didn't have to worry too much about being caught out of position and having another defender behind him leaving him to bomb forward. He should have buried that chance he had though.

McCafu's miss was no worse than Hourihane's

They were both similar were'nt they? Both should have scored really.

I get the feeling that Alan Hutton could establish a place in any Villa team right back to 1874.  He would be comfortable playing with Archie Hunter, Howard Spencer,  Joe Bache, Mush Callaghan, Vic Crowe, Tony Morley or Mark Walters.  A player for all seasons.

Hutton has improved lately. Think he's found his level. He seems like a good egg, never gobbed off, even when in the bomb squad. Can't fault his effort

Interesting that Gabby is still the quickest at the club in his opinion. He would have made a decent X-Men member, would our Gabby.

What ? Did they ask who was fastest to the front of the McDonald's Queue ?
