Either player at their best would be an asset, happy to see both putting a shift in and we seem to have moved from the language ‘out in the cold’ to ‘pushing for a place’ with is great IMO
Under23s win 2-3 at Liverpool on Sunday lunchtime apparently Thorne was very good and Butters beats six men to score Could we possibly be seeing them in the first team squad again

If that's not having a go, I dread to think what you'll say when you do have a go. He, unwisely had a pop at Rowettball last season and Derby fans interpret it as a criticism against the club.
We need to support all our players, you never know when we may need them. it is possible that Mount, Bryson and Johnson may all be unavailable for the Chelsea game, thank god it is away.
Hang on Ram, think you need to read my opening comment again before you start ‘having a go’ yourself. It states quite clearly that, imo, Butters should be ‘up for consideration’ and I am clearly agreeing with Andy’s positive thread.
When mista responded I realised that my comment could have been misconstrued and immediately clarified.
To be clear, I think Butterfield is a talented player who has let himself down by a combination of poor attitude, a lack of commitment and making unprofessional comments. If he’s prepared to put in the effort, as he appears to be, then I will unequivocally welcome him back. Mista is quite right to suggest that having a go at Butterfield will do no one any good...I completely agree, but would suggest that you ‘look before you leap’ into your own criticism next time.
IMO Butter's comments were born out of frustration and, in that context, understandable. As with Hughes, he wasn't and still isn't, a Rowett type of player. He was very good at Huddersfield. He started very well with us. Then he "disappeared". I, and many others on here, have been consistent in both our criticism of his performances prior to his loan period at Wendy and in saying that the pre-dip Butterfield would be a welcome addition and we all wondered where that player had gone.
I stand by my criticism of him. I also stand by my comments on how good he was and the hope that he finds that form again.
As for Thorne, we all know what he CAN do and want to see that again. If he had a blinder against Liverpool as has been suggested, he might be close to getting back in the squad and what a boost that coud be. It is only 2 or 3 weeks ago (can't remember which forum it was on) that someone was saying they had heard a rumour Thorne's contract was going to be paid off in the near future...... if he really is close to full fitness then we might have a very valuable addition to the squad. Two if Butters is almost there as well.
