Phillip J Fry 0 Posted January 18, 2014 I actually quite liked the way he played. He wan''t particularly flashy, but he''s able to use his upper body strength to full effect and get others in the game. Having someone who is both able to play that narrow and is so defensively responsible makes it possible to play a 4-4-2 as he often acts as an auxiliary central-midfielder meaning you don''t get outnumbered in the centre.

lowlyfendweller 0 Posted January 18, 2014 A good signing, will allow us to use Redmond, who needed a rest today, in sharp attacking bursts from the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOO 0 Posted January 18, 2014 He did look very strong on the ball, also good at challenging in the air, provides something different for us and had a very good first game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted January 18, 2014 All things considering he made a good debut, should be a good a signing for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted January 18, 2014 Yep strong player who did all he could today. Good signing imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted January 18, 2014 What I like about Gutierrez is that he''s solid, but with Olsson we still have pace down the left. Which frees up Redmond to play on the right, and give us pace, and a change from Snodders.At last we have balance and pace on both flanks! And maybe our frontmen might get a better service!!

NWC 239 Posted January 18, 2014 Can''t believe people were slating him on the match thread. I thought he did ok for a player who''s quite ring rusty (no double entendre intended!)He looks to be quite a clever player - and football intelligence is something that we are lacking.

Delias Love Child 0 Posted January 18, 2014 And sadly he wont be playing the next game because he''s on loan which means he can''t play against his parent club.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drurys testamonials V 15 0 Posted January 18, 2014 A positive start. Let''s see how it pans out. We know all too well some loans work and some don''t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted January 18, 2014 He put a good shift in, definitely brings something while Pilkington gains fitness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peateabee 0 Posted January 18, 2014 His performance was just what i expected. Nice and solid, good work rate and some nice simple bits of composed play, but to be honest not much going forward in terms of a goal threat or creating chances. But to be fair most of our play did go down the right, so he didn''t see much of it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havemyhowsonit 0 Posted January 18, 2014 What a unit he is. When fit he''s gonna be a great player for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted January 18, 2014 Completely surprised me - we just looked more balanced and solid with him there instead of Redmond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigManInTheBarclay 75 Posted January 18, 2014 If Newcastle can afford to let players like him leave on loan then we should go back for a few more!Had an amazing game, shame he went off for Pilk''s substitution. Reminded me of Holty when he was smashing through their players.....Also didn''t go down like a lot of players do now. Quality signing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lavanche 0 Posted January 18, 2014 As I said already in those negative threads about him, he just is better builded for that 4-4-2 we are now playing.Made quite much difference in midfield at the start of the game were we really normaly struggle to get the posession.He wont be much of an attacking threat for us I think, but will give us more composure on midfield an bring some freedom for our second centre midfielder.Good solid performance from him.

Wiz 0 Posted January 18, 2014 I assume he won''t be allowed to play against Newcastle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,314 Posted January 19, 2014 He''s ok. A decent addition to the squad in that he looks strong and kept the ball pretty well.My only real concern though is that he is another winger who is not that quick and comes inside a lot and I can see him getting picked quite regularly ahead of Pilks and Redmond. That would be a shame in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock The Boat 1,324 Posted January 19, 2014 I have a feeling Gutierrez is going to be that leader we need around the club, on and off the pitch.Agree with what most posters have said. A very good shift, compact, efficient, balanced and unnervy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
