My recollection of Gutierrez that season was that he was piss poor for the first 10 or so games, then started to perform a lot better and generally did rather well, other than the game against Perch.

Sherwood is a fucking bellend, but that's such a refreshing thing to read compared to Pardew, Carver, even Hughton wanting to "protect the young players by only playing them when I think they're ready" which actually translates as "I'd rather play senior pros out of position, allow these young lads to stagnate in the reserves and see them end up at Ashington by the age of 23".
The rate at which the current squad are dropping like flies, he should have been given some pitch time against Everton instead of Gutierrez after the red card, get his debut out the way.
If it ends up we have to throw him in for the derby as his first game, then I only have to direct you to Dummett's first start at the SoL to suggest the sort of thing which could happen (or, if we're going retro about it, a Stevie Taylor vs. Bolton away special).
Yeah, it'd be a big tick in one of the boxes on the "Trainee Pardew Wannabe" application form if he plays Satka then hangs him out to dry in the press when we get tonked. Bonus points if he fails to criticise (or even praises) the "senior pros" who play even worse than the young lad on his debut.
