Come on mate, seriously - let's get back on topic.

Where does Will Hughes fit in? If we're going 4-2-3-1, I can see him playing holding midfield alongside Georgey boy. Then he can be The Boy With A Thorne By His Side.

Seriously, if we go up I'm gonna Oscillate Wildly, any more?

Personally, I think a fully fit and on form Will Hughes is the best player in the Championship, so if comes back in February as expected and gets close to his best quickly, he's an automatic selection for me during the run in. There's no need to rush him - a few appearances off the bench first - but for me a midfield of Thorne, Johnson and Hughes has everything. I think Butterfield is a tidy enough player but he's not in Will's class.

Thoughts?

I haven't read the thread, only read this post, but my thoughts? 

Butterfield's massively under-appreciated by some of you. Especially if you're picking Johnson ahead of him.

Wouldn't bother reading the thread, it will get you nowhere fast

Haha, nice.. 

I've just read it. Wish I hadn't. 

 

 

I love Will, he's probably the most talented midfielder in the division. I don't expect him to play much this season though, what's the point? 

 

But if we're not looking at a Hughes, Thorne and Butterfield triumvirate, we need to pack in and go home. That is a super sexy, English midfield trio. And they're good footballers too... :wub:

As we've seen recently, Johnson has been sitting deeper (sometimes within a couple of yards of Thorne) and Hughes also likes to drop slightly deeper to pick the ball up off Thorne and start the attacks, so if they're both on the field, one of them needs to be under strict instructions to stay further forward. In my (humble and no doubt ill-informed) opinion, playing with a midfield three needs them to be slightly staggered up the pitch. The destroyer (Thorne/Baird/Hanson) sits deepest, the play-maker (Hughes/Butterfield) just ahead and the runner (Bryson/Hendrick/perhaps Johnson) further forward still so the ball can be moved up the pitch fluidly.

On paper, Thorne, Hughes and Johnson sounds proper sexy, but the positional discipline needs to be right.

There is no runner in those 3.

I completely agree with your analysis - and have posted similar myself in the past.

If will comes in it should probably be in place of butters. But then I thought it would be one of BJ or George but they seem to play together so what do I know?  ☺
