Sam Hutchinson availability

[Screen Door Slams]

DM - "I,m going to be positive and say we will see him again this year , he`s a top player for us but we need to make sure that when he comes back he stays back "

[matthefish2002]

Around Easter it is then.

Thank god we resigned him, who knows where we would be without him.

[bladeshater]

Waste of recourses should have gone for a young centre half but I suppose we did that with Gibson

[Ray Von shabba]

TBF it makes sense for a strong finish in new year.

[trev]

Cool.

Does he mean stays at CB and not ventures into midfield?

Seems the rumour mongers with stories about Sam and DM alleged fallout were wrong yet again. He was sidelined due to injury nothing else...

How do you conclude that exactly?

[CircleSeven]

Basically we’ve broken Sam again by playing him in a position his body couldn’t handle. I’m sure there would have been niggles if he stayed in defence but playing him in midfield has ended up here. I personally don’t really believe any falling out would keep an essential player out of the team for this many months. It just seems too childish. Anyway, we are where we are and now all eyes will be on the Jan window again hoping for a seasoned centre back or two.

What injury does he have that would keep him out this long?

[alanharper]

This is just soooooooo Sam Hutchinson

 

 

"We're not risking him this week, but he should definitely be back in contention for the next game"

 

About 8 weeks later - "We hope he'll be back by the end of the year"

So is DM telling untruths or does it not fit your anti Hutchinson agenda ??

Could be any number of things or indeed a combination. He definitely got injured as we saw him limping around. The bloke actually retired from football in 2010 because of his knee problems so it could very well be that.

Absolute anything to do with the knee, which I seem to remember his are made of bonfire toffee.

Big assumption that. Iorfa is in his second long spell of injury within a year whilst playing in defence. 

[Willie Henderson]

That'll be two weeks then?

[Mr Farrell]

He's consistent I'll give him that.

 

Fell out with every Manager, and when he doesn't, he's injured.

 

Very difficult now to tell which is which, as both happen that often.

Yeh true

Wonder why they've not said what it is?
Surely it will be his knee again?

Fair comment. But it’s how I see it. Players get injured in any position but there is definitely more strain on a players body in that DM role, particularly how Hutch plays it.
