No way is Johnson shorter and lighter than Butterfield.. Pretty sure Hanson is shorter than Thorne too..

Just had a look, Squakwa confirms the height and weights, even tells you the players' BMIs!

@Warren Hobhead (I'm not sure it's tagged you properly) - just a few revised statistics. I've set the parameters to show tackles per 90 minutes s opposed to per game as yours would have been a little skew whiff as substitutions would have effected the stats you posted, especially in the case of Bryson.

Also worth comparing his passing statistic to those of when he was at Huddersfield. His passing's clearly safer with us. If given a licence to attempt more risky passes he'd create over twice as many chance a game.

Regarding his fitness, it was revealed the Huddersfield player weren't fit enough at a Q&A event so I doubt it would be a lie. Here's the link but you need to make an account to read it I'd post the section about Butterfield but it's libelous. haha! http://spiritofthecowshed.proboards.com/thread/107/overview-last-nights

Is it the Q&A thing that their owner did? I saw something about it at the time. Some pretty serious accusations were made, and I saw a thread on their forum about it where some of their fans pointed out massive flaws or inaccuracies in his accusations. And just because an owner says something, that doesn't make it factual. Do we all believe every word out of Mel's mouth? 

 

Interesting stuff though. As are the stats you've beautifully pasted there, which indeed go some way to explaining what I already believed - he needs to play further forward and given more license/freedom to express himself. His pass accuracy will suffer, but look at the assists and key chances he creates. He can't do that on halfway for us. He's not Pirlo.

Yes, he said Butterfield feigned injury to come ff after 10 minutes against Fulham but played the full 90.
