I'd say it's one of the hardest and most thankless. Expected to be a good defender, a good winger, up and down the wing continuously, slated if not forward to help the attack, slated if they are and the attack breaks down and they are caught out of position.

And he's played mf for France U21s.

I mentioned a couple of times on here when he was signed, but he is a converted midfielder.

Despite the penalty and his poor crossing, I have to say I'm impressed with his work rate and attitude.
Maybe one for the championship.

I think he offers nothing. I liken him to a mate that you bring along just to make up the numbers. Carl going forward, can't beat a man, not a great defender. However, lower down the league's, he might do ok. All about opinions I guess but I really don't rate him at all. Works hard enough but I'd prefer quality over quantity.

I don't think he's been that bad since he's come back in and let's face it, it was either him or Richardson.

Never mind can't beat a man he doesn't even try to.

Blimey, I'd forgotten about him!

That's the point, he's obviously not great but he might be decent in the championship - he's strong and doesn't mind putting himself about.

I'd love to get rid of the lot of them but you have to be realistic that it's not going to happen.

Hutton, Cissokho I am not to bothered if they do stay, at least they seem to have some form of professional pride, poor footballers technically but willing to put a shift in.

Full backs are one of the most important positions in the modern game in terms of attack and we have quite possibly the worst full backs I've ever seen in Hutton and Cissokho. Absolutely clueless attacking wise and equally as poor at defending.

Part of the awful summer 2014 crew

Ridiculously poor footballer and not even second division standard.

Just do not understand how Hutton gets badged as some hard working player. He's also a defensive liability. Get rid ASAP

Sissokho's positioning is shocking and it is frightening how many times goals are being conceded from balls coming in from our left. He is full of endeavour: he's just inept.
If we want to improve, he needs to be got rid of along with many others in the current squad.

How very dare you sir!! Ha ha.  I guess it is an issue for the new man coming in though I suppose because we are not gonna get rid of all of them in one summer and some of them, dare I say it, even Westwood, might actually do ok in the Championship.
