Binky Griptite Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 If Hutch isn't a Wednesday player next season he needs to be offered some other role at the club; unless of course he wants to carry on playing, in which case good luck to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Baggins Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think he has a part to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think he’s proven over the season definitely good enough for L1, as long as his wage demands align with our budget I’d take him back Reality is we’re unlikely to get Storey back Dean may well be offered good money elsewhere Iorfa doesn’t suit moores system ball playing Dunkley also doesn’t So unless we’re getting an entire new defence I think he’s the main one who suits what Moore is trying to do 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganowl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 its dunkley and iorfa what need to go both appalling defenders with an appalling fitness record . massive saving on wages 25 grand a week what can be used elsewhere 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Been a decent player over the years but Hutchinson should be replaceable and for much better value too. Our wage bill will need to drop next season and players like Hutchinson are the first who should be replaced. Same applies for Luongo. Good players but not worth Championship wages on a 3rd tier budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re looking at another loss in the tens of millions for this season and next season we will be cutting our cloth. Our squad is going to be very different next season, there will be a lot of churn and people moving on, many of the players on big wages will be gone. There are a few that ideally we can keep and Hutchinson for me is way down that list. Gregory and Bannan for the senior higher earners are much more important.

Orlando_Trustful Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I’ll be gutted if he’s off. Deserves another year after how well he’s performed at times this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinowl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Don’t matter who comes in if they keep getting injured. We were hamstrung for a large part of this season and if they continue at that rate we’ll get nowhere. Need fit players. Also need to get the average age down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuben Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I hope it was their last game. Loungo in both play off games look shattered and we were playing with 10 men, he obviously cannot do a dozen games in a row. Hutchinson, we have been good for each other as a club and player but it's time to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behindthegoal Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 The question is whether you could get a better player in the positions he plays. My answer at this time is no so give him another contract, he has proved his fitness and shown he can guide younger players to be more astute about their game. One more season for Sammy please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPF, Storey, Dean, Hunt, Luongo, Paterson, NML and Berahino are all either out of contract or have finished their loan with us And along with Hutchinson, Shodippo, Gibson and Kambieri..... will all leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandwhitematt Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think we’ll offer Hutch something otherwise we’ve a big job on recruiting centre backs this summer. Luongo will quite rightly be off - for his benefit (playing standard) and ours (financial). Our biggest task this summer is going to be keeping hold of Gregory. Way he’s been playing you’d think lots of Championship managers will be having a strong look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does he need to be offered some there role and as what? Cant keep people are well paid cheerleaders because fans are too sentimental to let them go. Been a decent player overall but time to move on to a younger side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Big fan of Luongo but he’s definitely lost a yard of sharpness these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorrallOwl17 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 He's sort of put to bed the myth of being a crock this season, he's been a consistent rock and in the top 3 or 4 players of the season. I'd offer him a year, but only if he's in line with the budget as said elsewhere. He's still only 32, and if we're going to play from the back like DM wants, then Hutch fits the bill. Storey, Dean and Gibson will be going back, Dunkley and Iorfa don't fit the style and Iorfa seems to have inherited the biscuit legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
should know better Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 3 hours ago, Athelwulf said: Yes, but what a mistake. Made a bad mistake at Sunderland in trying to play the system (pass it back to the keeper and keep possession) but also made a crucial block later up there and tonight (the one where Sunderland were claiming a pen). Has easily been our best CB this season and will compete unlike a few of our other players. A fault is his tendency to go for everything but I would rather take that than the weak passive players we have. We got level then lost a goal last night that wasn't so much a mistake as a habit from one of our players (watching the ball not the man). Had a good season performance and injury wise thank goodness because with our defensively pathetic midfield and defensively weak wing backs teams are quickly into our back four. Hunt the only one of the wing backs that tries to close an opponent quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smhouston Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 8 hours ago, Emerson Thome said: I hope not. Hutchinson has been a stalwart - but he's still only 32 and still has a bit of pace about him. Playing centre back could prolong his career, and since he came back last January he's played 52 games in a season and a half with only one long-ish spell on the sidelines. He's apparently taken a big wage cut to come back, so don't think he's one of our higher earners. I would rather offload Iorfa who doesn't look comfortable in a three-at-the-back and might fetch a small amount of money. Or Dunkley, who would be on similar wages. Would rather see Hutchinson given a good run at right-sided centre-half in the back 3. He's done a job filling in on the left, but always has to check inside. A victim of his own flexibility, because Storey looked all at sea on the left. Disagree with Hutch at RCB. He's just too vulnerable covering out wide. He's always looked his best sitting in the middle. Get him and couple younger faster players aside of him at the back and he can lead them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
