Walsall vs Aston Villa Pre-season friendly

[ciggiesnbeer]

Excellent cross from Hutton. he is playing like a man who.. err .. wants to play.

Hutton. To be fair he has been really good.

Agree, why the fuck has Lamberk ignored him for 2 years? Sheer incompetence.

Let's not get carried away, he's scored against Walsall.

We'll be lucky to hang on to Hutton once the champs league sides start calling

Messi never scored against Walsall.

Advantage, Hutton.

Was that another glaring miss from Gabby?

he's become rather profligate has our Gabby. Gets in good positions which is the encouraging bit, but sharp as a a butter knife in front of goal.

Probably for the same reason most fans said that he should not play for Villa again after the McLeish season.

Ha, forgot this was on

[Toronto Villa]

the question with Hutton isn't when he is coming forward because he does look rather good, it is when he is asked to defend. Worse when he is asked to mark a winger as he becomes a liability. Now I will temper my views on Hutton because under McLeish he was asked to defend all the time and generally play only in his own half. Hardly playing to his strengths. It might be a whole new Hutton we see in a more attacking 3-5-2

Can't get avtv on a tablet so instead I'm building a little Hutton shrine.

Bloody hell. Gabby and Weimann are awful. Probably both be outscored by Curtis Davies and Martin Skrtel again next season.

[Goldie.7]

We were attacking then and Westwood decides to go back instead of a few strides forward into open space for a better option. These things annoy me.

Towards the end he just about gave up defending and was the furthest man forward (seriously he was ahead of the strikers). Not sure that is wise for a wing back but he is clearly desperate to play for us.

One of the problems in the past with Hutton was that he'd go wandering upfield or stroll out of position, and leave enough room to stage the Glastonbury Festival behind him.

I remember Brett Holman having a decent pre-season but being mostly naff once the season kicked off so it's best not to get carried away.

True but it beats being thrashed 4-1 by FC Groningen.
