With the exception of Bunn, there's not a single one in that group I'd piss on if he were on fire. Not one.To be fair Hutton gives his all each game, its just he is a really poor footballerBunn has just been thrown into that group randomly, he isnt even second division standard lets be honest.these long serving players above can do one, they will be playing against us next term with the likes of Bristol City and LeedsYeah, Hutton does at least try.To be honest, we will probably need him next season.I really don't think that is the way to be looking at next season. We should be looking to replace the likes of Hutton, not just keep him around because he "puts in a bit of a shift". I would like to see us try and build a consistent and solid back four next season and I can't see Hutton ever being part of one due to his poor positioning. When you add in he's poor on the ball and can't cross, it's not a great outlook. I just hope Rangers get promoted and he heads off back there.

I disagree. If we were staying up I would look to improve on him, but he's one of the few players we have that are pretty much perfect for the Championship. Hope he stays
Garde's method sounds like Wenger's. Fairly standoffish, doesn't shout and scream a lot, lets the players get on with it.
Always take articles like that Telegraph one with a pinch of salt, but Garde's method sounds like Wenger's. Fairly standoffish, doesn't shout and scream a lot, lets the players get on with it.It's noticeable that the ones (allegedly) most riled by that approach are the shit British players.
To be honest if I never saw Bacuna, Agbonlahor, Guzan, Clark, N'Zogbia and Richards anywhere the club ever again I'd be happy.
I'll have you know there is nothing wrong with being an 'intransigent miserable old get'.I quite enjoy it :-)
Walked out of his press conference today apparently (Remi, not me).
