I think Sutton is decent, so I'm happy


I genuinely think he's underrated

 

my gran used to say if you don't have anything good to say, then button it. She'd have a field day with your constant negativity.

 

Happy with that. Good squad player to have with his versatility.

He tailed off quite a bit after he got Covid, but sure he will be back to 100% for next season

 

Sweet .


Happy with that. Good work Mr sutton

 

I have a feeling that a number of the contract extensions were all signed at the end of the season and are being drip fed to maintain interest.

 

His core skills are just asking for him to be used as an attacking right back.

 

It was obvious to anyone who's read up on the after affects of Covid on certain athletes, that Sutton was not the same when he came back.

Lot's of us pointed out the the dipping of energy towards the end of matches in January etc, had to coincide with Covid. This wasn't excuse making, it is just sheer fact - some elite athletes (and that's what professional footie players are) have taken a long while to recover fully. In fairness, Adams never used it as an excuse.

So I think Hughe's statement shows a manager who understands each of his players and has probably seen the 'before and after' stats for Sutton - hence why he didn't play much under him.

And the fact there was L1 interest, shows that plenty think he's a decent player.

So it's good he's re-signed

Happy with that. I think he’s a solid, committed player and will run through brick walls for the side and get us up the pitch.

i’ve no idea on this, and merely guessing, but I reckon he’s a good character to have in the dressing room too. Have seen him having banter with other players (one of them jovially said he was very dense lol) on the media clips and on social media and he’s well liked in the dressing room it seems.

 

Happy with that. Hendrie next.

 

Sutton is a decent enough squad player who has his uses.

But I'd like to see some proven quality come through the door next, particularly in the spine of the team. Players like Lewis, Young and East have all got potential but we can't build a whole squad on potential.

 

I actually like Sutton but if we went with a him and Watt in the 2 holding/defensive midfield roles that we seem to employ I think we could do better. He can definitely rat about and pressure people but his strengths from an attacking point of view lie in running in behind the defence from a midfield position rather than holding. I think using him as an attacking right back could possibly be a better position for him over someone like Hendrie as he has more pace, is his delivery good enough to warrant this? As I say I like him, he has come across as more committed than a lot of others and tries to create something but can understand if he divides opinion.

 

What an utter shite post

 

Not really a surprise. I was on a real downer with him to be honest, but in fairness I hadn’t realised how much Covid affected him. Fair play, a good squad acquisition.

 

he missed the start and COVID seemed to hit him hard and he was building back to full fitness and the manager recognises what he brings to the squad

 

He missed Hughes’ first game then was on the bench the next, he was in 9 of Hughes’ 13 squads only starting 3 times one of which was the much changed team against Colchester. I don’t doubt he’s a useful squad player, but very unlikely to be a starter. He brings some energy of the bench but in a possession based team is pretty poor due to his very limited passing ability.

 

Which is his best position? He’s a useful bench player but I don’t fancy versatility players starting out of position. I’d like specialised players playing in specific positions who know their roles.
