Alan Hutton will be a big asset, says Nottingham Forest chairman
ALAN Hutton's experience of playing in the Premier League will be a "big asset" for Nottingham Forest in the coming weeks, according to chairman Omar Al Hasawi.
The Scotland international full-back joined the Reds from Aston Villa yesterday before the emergency loan deadline came to a close.

Alan Hutton
The 27-year-old will be available for the trip to Wolves in the Championship tomorrow and then eight other games after moving to the City Ground on a loan deal until January 2.
Hutton, who has Champions League experience, was signed by Tottenham for £9million from Glasgow Rangers back in 2008, before making the move to Villa Park in August 2011.

"Like most of the signings we have made, Alan brings great experience to our squad," said Al Hasawi in a club statement. "He has played at the very highest level and will be a big asset to us over the next six weeks."
Capped 28 times by his country, Hutton provides the extra defensive cover boss Sean O'Driscoll had been looking for.
But it also means Forest now have four on-loan defenders in their ranks, with Hutton joining Daniel Ayala, Elliott Ward and Sam Hutchinson.
"We have been looking to add another defender for some time," said O'Driscoll. "We enquired about quite a few people but clubs are reluctant to let their players go which is understandable with the busy Christmas period coming up.
"Alan has great Premier League experience and is looking to put himself in the shop window, so it's a deal that suits all parties.
"He can play in various defensive roles and is a good character."

“it's strange Snennyram has been on OUR boards this morning posting his drivel on 2 stories but no reply to this one because he's not clever enough to come up with an answer. Not that his posts are in any way clever just his usual peurile rubbish. He's a typical keyboard warrior and just like the coward in a fight tries to put the boot in and then runs away. Come on Snenny let's have some real banter where you actually reply to a post with something intelligent.”

“33,000 in January, Snenny, a bumper crowd for you. Mind you you always get a big crowd when the world famous Nottingham Forest come to town. Be a nice change for you to see the ground more than 2 thirds full now you are only getting 21-22 thousand in. Upsetting for us because it means our boosting of your attendance will increase your season average up closer to ours but never mind we're big enough to live with it.”

“I wish I was on the wing for Wolves tomorrow.
Even at 50 years old and 19 stone even I would skin Hutton.
I hope you extend his loan, so I can see 4 goals thumped in against tin pot Forest rather than the normal 2/3 when you lose in front of 33000 again in January. It will be 4 in a row. Chuckle, chuckle.
Forest premier league dreamers. Third division reality.
Can't stop laughing.”

“Jusr watch the Wolves thump 2 or 3 goals past your tin pot defence.
Alan Hutton. Useless. Seen milk turn quicker.
Anyway I have put an Hawai five O on the game. 3 nil to the Wolves.
In 24 hours the fickle Forest fans will be saying.
We want our Billy back. Wewant our Billy back.
Can't stop laughing.”
