How Good Was John Sutton Tonight?

Sutton has been an unsung hero this season. When discussions on transfers was going on a lot of people said we need to replace Sutton, but his link up play and do or die attitude at times has been brilliant.

 

OK he's not scoring 10+ goals a season at the moment but the amount of work he does to allow others to score is fantastic. What summed this up the most was the home game against Flamurtari.

His work rate is incredible.

 

For a guy his size you wouldn't think he is fast, but he can fair turn the jets on, defends for his life and is fantastic at holding up the ball. Him and the Juke have formed a brilliant partnership upfront and long may it continue.

 

My only criticism of him is his shooting, he floats far too many shots straight at the keeper.

We play better with Sutton up front with Jutkiewicz rather than with one up front or the three with two wider players and a striker.

 

His goal scoring record isn't even that bad this season 23 starts 7 goals. In 51 starts he's scored 19 goals. Well within the acceptable range of a goal in every three matches.

 

Sutton isn't going to make any all time lists but he is a good solid SPL level striker and bringing in someone better is either going to be a transfer coup or cost a pretty penny.
