Shaun Hutchinson, at 33, remains a steadfast presence at the heart of Millwall’s defence. Known for his combative nature, his style of play is rooted in physicality and resilience. Remarkably, Hutchinson excels in duels, winning an impressive portion of his ground battles, highlighting his dominance in direct contests. He's a no-nonsense centre-back, with his aerial prowess being another defining strength, comfortably winning the majority of his aerial duels. Despite these defensive strengths, his ability to recover the ball and intercept passes is much less effective, revealing a crucial area for improvement in anticipation and positioning. His retention on the ball isn't a standout feature either, as he tends not to carry the ball forward, leaving the progressive play to his teammates. Although he's proficient in progressive passing, crucially for a defender, his pass accuracy leaves room for improvement, potentially causing risky turnovers in dangerous areas. Notably cautious, Hutchinson's physical approach means he does tend to commit more fouls than his peers, which could be something of a double-edged sword depending on the tactical demands of the game. Overall, Shaun Hutchinson remains a reliable, tough-tackling stalwart for Millwall, though adjustments in his ball recovery and interception capability could elevate his contribution to their defensive resilience even further.
