Hutton’s faith in ‘fearless’ Cats
The Journal
|May 07, 2025
FORMER Sunderland defender Alan Hutton reckons the club's “fearless” players will stand them in good stead for the play-offs despite their poor recent form.
The right-back, who spent the majority of his career with Aston Villa, Rangers and Tottenham, played for the Black Cats in 2010.
Hutton told BoyleSports, who offer the latest EFL odds: “Sunderland’s form isn’t ideal for play-offs - but their players are fearless
“It's not ideal for Sunderland, they've lost their last five. I think when you go into the play-offs, it’s all about building momentum. The year that we went up, we were nowhere near it and then we won 10 games in a row and then we went on to go up.
