agentwalker Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 the one thing that Hutch's performance last week reminded me off was madjid bougherra. A few times hutch intercepted the ball and just burst into midfield with ease. If he can stay fit we've got our first choice pairing for the season sorted.

At least sets us up ok for the first few weeks. Can use the full extent of the transfer window to bting in another capable, yet unexpensive CB for further cover at the same time as moving any transfer funds towards more important targets like a quality left back / Pudil / mesmerising, creative winger etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtommer Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I always think Hutch looks total class at centre back, and for some reason doesn't commit his trademark crazy fouls from that position either. Just reads things superbly and great alongside Lees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelswfc Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 If Hutch and Lees work out as a central defensive pair that would be immense. Perhaps a lack of height, but they might make up for that with tactical awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djorkaeff Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Using Sam as a CB is fine. We'd still need someone who is North of 6'2 in the squad. mariappa might work on a free. We would then need a CM who is North of 6ft to help. I need to see four or five players who expect to win headers at set pieces in a side. lees, Hutch, fletcher and who?

gurujuan Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Mariappa stands less than six foot, and heading the ball isn't his strong point. Yes it's a worry though, Hutchinson's inclusion in the back four, plus no Pudil, means we are even smaller than last season. When we are likely to be confronted by opponents who have half a dozen six footers at set plays, what are our two gonna do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djorkaeff Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Forget Mariappa then. That's my point and the two cb wouldn't be dominant. By that I mean and lump who's big stands next to them and they can't clear routine balls. Then you stand at a set play and again have no clear favourite to win and not enough to pick up their threats. Steven caulker on loan? He plays left sided too.

I guess that's why we were apparently so keen on Hanley, as he fitted your description to a tee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This quote is from Keiren Westwood in a recent interview; Quote “Sam’s a midfielder or a right-back but he’s good enough to slot in anywhere which is a massive bonus.” “He showed he can play there last year.

Sultan_Pepper Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Semedo has looked very good a few times at centre half, a few along side Llera spring to mind albeit at a lower standard than we are aiming for.

I wonder if others are feeling the same, or even the coach himself.
