However, once you have given a player a new contract and he has proved himself to be better than other available options this season then to bin him off with 20 games or so still to play is daft. We won the last time he played and have since won 1 of 10 games. Not saying he would have single handedly turned our results around but not to have the option has been frustrating.

We were told he was removed for the good of the dressing room. The dressing room morale has hardly been high since this move was made. He has also put a point forward that he was seemingly expected to train at the same rate as everyone else which raises further debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't talk about Wednesday that much, just more about his depression, how it makes him feel and what he does to get through it. He does say Paul Smith (physio) was brilliant with him at Wednesday and says that when he gets sent off a lot it's usually because he's in a bad place mentally. He also says that all football clubs should have professionals that players can speak to when they're struggling. Was great to see that he's in a good place at the moment with all that's going on.

adelphi1867 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The same reaction when Hirst, Waddle and Sheridan's time came to an end at the club too. It is always hard to replace a legend, but Hutchinson has had his time at the club, having said that, with out his injury problems he would have been a regular in the prem league instead of us. You cannot build for the future while holding on to the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Out of this current squad he would be one of the first names on the team sheet for me. Imo we look a better team with him in the side. We are such a weak team, we need people with his tenacity and leadership in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffering from Depression myself I can only offer support to any one who also suffers. It is like being in a room full of all the people who love and like you, yet you feel so alone, the least thing can push you over the edge. No one really knows how you feel, some times you put on a brave face, laugh, be funny and yet feel empty and lonely inside, the last thing you want to hear is some one say "snap out of it" " Pull your self together", it is the loneliest illness in the world. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect to the level of training I was under the impression that Sam couldn’t train full time due to his previous injuries and that understood and managed by the club for the time he’d been with us. He said things had changed under the ‘new regime’. He said in his RS interview on the same subject that getting back into football after stopping through injuries, had saved him. Bottom line is, if he loves the club for resurrecting his career as much as he claims then he should be breaking a ball to fit in. Has fallen out with two successive managers. Not really the antics of a senior pro. Thanks for the memories and good luck with your next club; that is, if any want to take the chance on him.

Agreed, we’ve basically lacked either Hutch or Luongo or (both) in the middle of midfield since Christmas and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Swiss Toni Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 You can see why he retired from football at a young age if his body couldn’t take daily training. He’d be a big risk for anyone to take on after that admission. You’d have to think the USA would be his best option to continue playing as the standard (although getting much better) is lower and less intense. Having suffered from depression and anxiety for the past dozen years it’s still not nice to hear this it’s affecting him. Must be hard when all you’ve known as a kid is football.
