Bris Vegas Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Assuming Huddlestone comes in and becomes a regular, it will make competition for midfield places even tougher. If you had to assign one of Butters, Bryson and Bradders to one of the following, who would it be and why? A) first-teamer B) Bench player C) Sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 B, B and A in that order. I'd sell one of them if a decent offer came in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Sorry I don't think I explained the opening post very well. You have to choose one to be first-teamer, one to be a bench player and one to be sold. Thorne and Hanson are other midfield options, but I don't envisage them being in the picture all too often.

Cam the Ram Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'd have Bryson as the first-teamer, Johnson as the backup and Butterfield to be sold. I'm just not sure a midfield of Huddlestone and Butterfield would work well because they're both probably better suited to being the play maker and I'd have Thorne as the direct backup/competition with Huddlestone, so we could probably afford to lose Butterfield. And I'd choose Bryson over Johnson simply for the understanding he has with Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFc Dyycheee Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 A) First team - Johnson B) Bench - Bryson C) Sell - Butterfield Ideally though, I'd like us to sign a new younger box-to-box mid to come in and partner Huddlestone and maybe move Bryson on as well.

Gypsy Ram Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm in agreement with Critters here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 3 minutes ago, David said: A) Johnson B) Bryson C) Butterfield I think this is how they currently rate, however it's fluid, apart from Butterfield. Utimately I think Huddlestone & Thorne would be first choice, but Bradley has the shirt I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 First team : either Bryson or Johnson. Sell or give away for free: Butterfield bench : none of them. Choose Bryson or Johnson and sell the other. Bench is for Elsnik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 A Bryson B Butterfield C Bradders But I'm not sure a decision can be made without knowing the rest of the team. Thought Bryson has been good box-to-box, Butters has seemed more positive and Bradders looked aggressive and dangerous up front. So it does depend on what is needed as to who might be AB or C.

RamLad1884 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Not sure where I'd have each, maybe sell Bryso. Bench Butters? All I know is that this season we'll have a wealth of skill/experience in that midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Johnson - we could say for him he is also relatively mobile, but his passing is terrible. C) Butterfield - slow, he is not a really useful in this system 4-2-3-1. Should be sold.

Huddersfield were his previous employers, we might offer them Butterfield as an extra bonus in return for what they paid generously for Ince.

Sexydadbod Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 First team: Johnson Bench: Butterfield Sell: Bryson Bryson has been finished for years. I remember that thread I made a few years ago about us not needing him and how we played better without him and I've not changed my mind since. It was after we beat Wolves 5-0 in 2014 when he was unavailable. He just kills any momentum in the side and the stats from last season back this up as he had more sideways and backward passes than any other midfielder, despite people criticising Butterfield for the same problem. People kept telling me that he was going through a bad spell but I was never convinced. Unfortunately, no-one will buy him with the wages he's on. We should have sold him to Burnley when we had the chance with hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 But having said all that Bryson would be a bit useful at times if we play 4-3-3 because he has a good partnership with Martin but any other formation he's useless. I'd be surprised if we made top 8 if Bryson started regularly. He's been a good servant but it's gone far too stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
