On the Hutchinson note you are correct....but...he has been poor enough to be dropped on several outings and still gets picked.
I didnt cheer when he got the red at MK but i was relieved and we played better without him.
He has split the vote...all the lads i stand with are split some agree and some disagree.
You are also confusing opinion with fact.
Prutton is piss poor IMO.
Sky is blue...fact. Opinions vary to what shade.
Grass is green...fact. Opinions vary etc etc.
Prutton is an overpaid 'mediocre at best' midfielder and a disaster of a signing.... fact.

I expect alot of the time 'he still gets picked' because Ferry has been injured, Douglas has been suspended and Timlin has been out on loan!
Overpaid? how would you know?
Mediocre at best? probably but arent they all at this level?
disaster of a signing? give over...

Never imagined me saying this, but that's spot on. |

In the context of our current squad then Prutton may not be the best, but off the top of my head here are the players who have been utilised in the centre of midfield in the past few seasons (and since departed):
Nalis - Past it, slow and despite being able to pick a pass was by and large useless.
Tudur-Jones - wasn't bad but not worth £250k. Could only pass sideways.
Pook - Had his moments, but league one was far beyond his level. A genuine source of frustration.
Adams - Forgot about him until he was mentioned the other day. Oops.
Kanyuka - Actually did better in midfield than people would have suspected. Not a class act by today's standards.
Comyn-Platt - Really thrived in the midfield position. Not.
Easton - Had a quality season with us and then his form went awry. Probably the pick of the midfielders here.
Weston - Showed glimpses of good attacking threat but his ego got in the way. Pretty much as soon as Wise left he wasn't very good.
Whalley - Shit, waste of space cunt. Possibly the worst central midfielder we've had for some time.
Peacock - Did a job in the midfield and his effort was notable. Still, not the quickest player or most skillful player.
Prutton has shown more than most of the chumps in that list. Hardly a disaster signing at all. If Prutton is a disaster signing then Timlin is too (which is not my view: Timlin, whilst I do not rate him much has had good games for us and has been a useful squad player).
I can understand the annoyance of Prutton playing ahead of Ferry earlier in the season, particularly when a midfield of Prutton and Douglas just didn't work, but it seems a few people are moaning of his selection when we don't have other options (Douglas being suspended).

Right on the first point (i hope). His performances have been more disappointing on the back of last season and the hope of Wilson signing some players to kick us on.....in that respect he is not alone. |

good player brings a bit of quality to the side.not a holding midfielder so does not play well when asked to do this but his runs from midfield is something we have been missing.

Going back to Prutton. I do think he has been a massive problem this season.
He doesnt play very well with Douglas, because he doesnt like to tread on Douglas' toes. He goes missing.
I think his big pals act with Douglas has caused massive squad rifts because he plays every week in front of Ferry. Sometimes when you get 2 who are very close it upsets the equality of the group.
The best thing would be for him to go. He's not playing very well anyway.

But Timlin is playing ahead of Ferry too Spencer, it's not that simple.

I dont see how Timlin being in front of Ferry invalidates my point? Doesnt it make it more likely that there is a problem? Ferry is a player we spent a lot of money on. Proven more than good enough for this league by last season. Has Timlin proven himself in L1? |

If we let Prutton go then Timlin would still be ahead of Ferry is what I was getting at.
I do suspect there is a problem between Douglas and Ferry

Which is astonishing as one of our biggest strengths last year was the Douglas-Ferry partnership.
Whoever the supposed problems are between, they're all professionals FFS.
You're being very well paid to do a job, nobody sees eye to eye with everyone they work with so just fucking get on and do what's best for the club.
