A relative of mine got "done" for drink driving BUT his drink had (genuinely) been spiked. He pleaded not guilty and was not banned. Apparently it's not a straight defence as such but something called "special measures". Bit of a silly name as his drink certainly turned out to be a special measure!

yarddog73 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I reckon Radcliffe might be sniffing around for a defender or two from us, looked good pre season but giving goals away for fun when it matters, Sutton maybe Hogan might interest them?.

Pretty sure Hogan was in talks with them, Marine and a club from our league at the start of pre season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good for Sutton to get a run of games in his favoured position, might be over two years since he's started a game at centre back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t bother, he’s garbage Sutton. He’s been played out of position far too often but he struggles even with the basics. Mellon knows it as well. Hogan who Mellon doesn’t even want currently makes the bench over Sutton which says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen it before with young players, Sutton will get picked up and he will do just fine elsewhere when he's somebody's signing. I'll guarantee that.

Thought he improved as time went on last year, and put him in a back 3 including Raglan and Monthe..with 2 decent full backs and he would look just fine. Plenty of time for him to improve further and be a pretty versatile member of the squad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Plenty on here highlight that Fondop needs talking through a game but perhaps Sutton needs the same as he's failed to "move up" with the back line when he has been played in the correct position. I wouldn't dismiss him as some have but am not convinced he could play at much higher levels as others maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre backs can mature with time, look how many slated Cameron Burgess when he was here. He's still young and will undoubtedly learn IMO.

aaronoafc Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 I just don’t see it. Sutton will be gone at the end of the season, certainly if Mellon is here. There is no chance he will go higher than L2 and even that I’d be surprised. The youngsters who moved on such as Hamer at least showed something. How long do we need to wait for him to show something? Like I say, there’s a reason he’s not fancied behind someone who isn’t fancied… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hamer has carved a steady career as a league one player so I wouldn’t write Sutton off. He has the right physique and defenders don’t mature until later. Hobson might improve as he matures but the rest of them are as good as they are ever going to be. it would be interesting to see where Sutton is after 50 consecutive games as a centre back.

Hamer looked a half decent prospect time and time again though. Sutton gets absolutely rinsed everytime he plays no matter the position. No pace, can’t dribble, can’t pass, doesn’t exactly dominate in the air. He started CB at Alty away back end of last season and it was a travesty. He’s also 22 in a few week, when will he show something? I legit 100% hope I turn out wrong and he becomes a big player for Latics but I can’t see it. We need miles better even as a backup.

Him and Hamer are very similar, both got a mistake in them because they’re learning the game. But loads of potential. Also Hamer wasn’t asked to play out of position for the vast majority of his appearances and then judged in a position completely alien to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Hamer actually had a rough start and wasn't rated much by quite a few people on here at the time. We are going to need back up and for that reason we shouldn't even entertain moving out Sutton. Squadrophobia Appears to still be a thing amongst us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamer along with a succession of players particularly young defenders got absolute pelters on here from plenty, majority have gone on to do just fine away from Latics, Sutton will be another. Going back to when Tarky played for us we still had some on here criticising him, knocking his positioning, his pace, etc...... he's not done too bad for himself despite what all the shrewdies thought.

Crusoe Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Yep, I was a Tarky doubter, never thought he had the pace (though I never slated him, just doubted his potential). Boy was I wrong about what he could achieve. It’s why I’m circumspect about jumping to criticise these days (that, and like many clubs’ fans, I’m not sure we always value the right attributes). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) If we remember properly with Tarky it took him 3 years before we really saw him come into his own, in that time he at times lost his man, got done for pace, and was still developing physically but he came good. We seem to think a player will come good after a year or 6 months but in reality it usually takes a few years of ups and downs before the become the player they are meant to be and if we are going to have a youth system of any kind then we need to give players like Sutton time to develop he is still learning.
