Can't disagree with you more, on all of that, I know you didn't like the Butcher signing but he was very good before he left towards the end and was a big miss in the relegation season, has been the best signing we made last January and but for shanks exploits would be stick on player of the year, he is also clearly better at cm than cb, and he is quite clearly better than powers and I could say that seeing powers just once and nothing he has shown since changes that

Opinions and that.
