I must point out, its Hutchinson. He's recieved injuries because he is a young guy still growing. He's only played a handful of games, Page has played atleast 3 times what Hutchinson has. Page also had experience coming through the youth set-up at a 'bigger club', Portsmouth I think it was. Hutchinson was nabbed from a Boys Club. Surely had a better level of coaching from a younger age.
Also add in that Page has always been a defender, Hutchinson only adapted to that position on his arrival at the club.

Love threads like this. At least two of his errors came from trying to do the job of two defenders, because Craigan was out of position.
Calm the fuck down.

I thought we did ok today and unlucky to be beat. Our defence was all over the place 2nd half mind you and when does big Hutchie get a game? Im very dissapointed but still hopefull of a decent season if we sort that defence out. I also dont think we should be playing Jennings and Lasley in the same team as they're too similar in style. Still the pitch was getting praise and im sure Craig Brown will sort things out.
When he get's fit and ahead of John Page in the pecking order.

the shape of the team wis all wrong 3 holding midfielders with not 1 of them looking to break into the box.murphy was working hard down the left side leaving sutton the only man in the box when a decent cross came in.were badly needing a left winger in that will then allow murphy to get into the box more often.lasley,jennings and hately are to alike we dont need all 3 in the team at the same time.the turning point was the penalty that we never got cause hibs when straight up the other end and scored but the ref knew he made a c**t of it thats how he gave us a penalty later in the game.im disappointed we lost the game when we deserved atleast a point but we simply canny cope with hibs front 3 thats 12 goals in there last 4 visits to fir park
Totally disagree.
The problem is that we run out of puff towards the end of the first half then start the second half pretty flat. I think this is down to our middle 3 being too narrow. Hateley was rotten today. Even the cross for the first goal looked unintentional, as he hit a similar ball into the box shortly after which Stack cleanly took. The biggest problem today was that no one was there to help out Saunders. He was bombing forwards and no one from midfield dropped in. With Hibs 3rd goal someone should have been tracking Miller but decided to leave him to Saunders who was already marking a man.

Referee wasted the game.
Can't believe some of the shite on the radio afterwards. Going down because Sol Bamba has all but raped you is apparently verging on play acting.
I really hope Blackman or Casagolda can hit shots with power, the amount of chances we passed into Stack's hands was unreal. Atleast get someone to test him.

Same team that beat the Norwegians.
This!

The picture advertising the sale of the shirts does not have a sponsor on it, so just ask for the shirt as advertised.
...and if they've none he should come on here to moan about it, right?
-
You can get it into your head mate.He was a great player for us and I didn't say that he was our most creative but he was creative.It will be hard to replace him
Hahaha, good one wee boy. He may have been vital for you in FM but he certainly wasn't to Motherwell in real life. That's why he's, what's called, a luxury player.
I didn't accuse anyone of saying that O'Brien was, the fact is that Hateley was far more creative and important to the team.
O'Brien had moments of greatness, but more often that not he lost possession and hindered attacks by running the ball into dead ends all for the sake of beating a man.
-
Canny be arsed quoting posts, but Tom Hateley was statistically our most creative player last year. Get the O'brien being important nonsense out of your head.

I'm going to rip the heed aff it when it's not sports relief and all these know it all c***s are shown up.
-
I was in the club shop yesterday and didn't ask who the sponsor is or when it would be announced because I'm not sad as fuck.
Does that mean no one with you asked either?
Sports Relief? Comic Relief would be more apporpriate given the hillarious assurances by some in this thread.
In before Comic Relief isn't hillarious.
-
Oh aye, what you got planned like?
Mainly, keeping him away from you I'd imagine.
-
Dont think It is, he was th efirst I looked at when I heard we had a guy called Salim with us, but our trialist is well over 6 feet by accounts,whereas Salim Tuama is 5`8, unless the guys who have seem him are wrong + he is 6 inches shorter, in which case I feel sorry for those guys wives lol
I think it was him.
He wasn't massively tall, just deceptively lanky. Was certainly shorter than Sutts.
-
Hahaha, SCDave is about to burst.
Is there a limit to the number of quotes in a post?
-
McCluskey did look good but i'm concerned by the fact greenock morton didn't want him and he played a number of games for them during this pre season.
Who's to say they didn't want them, maybe he demanded too much?
-
Wee rundown from what I saw of the game.
Randolph did okay but didn't communicate well with Page and Hutchinson. Page looks far superior to Hutch at the moment.
Meechan did nothing, although he was at right back. Fitzpatrick did okay at left back and got forward well, McCluskey ripped him in the second half though.
Forbes tried to control the game but was over run by Jennings and Lasley, his passing was outstanding though.
White No.7 was pish, had maybe one good tackle but other than that looked a bit wreckless and had poor positioning. No.11 was alright but didn't seem to be able to adapt to Fitzpatricks overlapping runs. By the end of the game it looked like he was pissing blood from his chest.
Gary Smith and McHugh worked well together and were unlucky not to score.
Tom Bradley, who came on fro Randolph for the second half, played really well. Made a few good saves and wasn't afraid to come for the cross ball, although he did flap.
Hollis was alright, did well with the few shots that he had to deal with and made a couple of good free kick saves.
Black No.2, did okay, worked well with Humphrey in the first half and a few good runs and crosses put in. No.4 was pretty solid, hit the bar with a header and at one point ended up running the length of park only to see his shot charged down well.
Dario Quinn was also solid at centre half. Lasley and Jennings worked well again.
Humphrey was outstanding, for his goal he cut inside from the right just over the half way line and turned Hutch inside out twice before unleashing a curling effort into the top left hand corner.
No.9 (the big algerian boy) had a good first half on the left wing although he dallied a bit too long on the ball at times. Second half he was played as a striker and worked well with the midfield.
Esteband Casagolda was pretty average but showed some great movement.
Jamie McCluskey was fantastic. I thought it was him at the time but obviously the team sheet was wrong. Scored a great goal and hit in a few fantastic crosses. Won a penalty and then proceeded to hit the worst penalty I think I've ever seen. Has got a great amount of skill and pace.
The centre min in the black side, Innes and Pollock, were fantastic. Innes played more of a holding role and was quick to shackle anyone breaking from midfield. Pollock showed some great touches and awareness, and really should have scored.
From the trialists I'd look to sign McCluskey or Salim.
-
He wasn't the worst player on the park. Wasn't amazing but he showed some good instincts, looked to play the other players in a few times and his knock on to Pollock at the end was one of many great first touch passes.
Was also about to burst the net when Jennings took the ball off of him.
Wasn't amazing and wasn't shite.
If 'that' freekick had went in, there would be a different response on here.
-
show us a photo....
Why don't you come to the game?
He is here.
-
CASAGOLDA IS HERE. Number 10 for the blacks.
-
Had another thought regarding us wearing our away kit. Is it possible the only home kit that was available to the squad at the time was that with the "Choose Life" sponsor, which obviously was only signed for the Breidablik games?
I wouldn't worry though, there'll be plenty of kit when we get to the group stages
Or... maybe, Choose Life will be on the kits. So they couldn't play in the home top as that would spoil any press gathering to announce a special sponsor.
Apparently there was only one set of the 'euro' shirts made, so why print a temporary sponsor on them if that's the case.

So Ruddy pumped yer maw. Deal with it.
Shh, I'm saving the story for when he's Englands number 1...
-
Ruddy has been conceding goals for fun in pre-season at Norwich. Of course that means he's better than a 'keeper who'd being tracked by a host of premiership teams.

Doesn't matter what the facts are. Folk love to moan.
We've conceded goals recently which is not down to the personel in defence, It's down to the way the team play the game.
