    Edit to add imo Butcher is a major part of our midfield problem. Always on a yellow and can't pass consistently.
    Other opinions available.

    Agreed. Butcher is a fkn nightmare for flying into tackles,an absolute raj and he holds Fuchs back from doing his job as our best holding midfielder because Fuchs can actually find a tangerine jersey with a pass.

    Butcher and Powers didn't work and neither does Butcher and Fuchs.

    Butcher and Fuchs does work. In a 442 with wingers where their sole job is to win the ball back and give it to creative players... you know the rest...

    I had hoped you'd sense the sarcasm in my post, but anyway...

    Ross County away 2-0 victory - Butcher and Fuchs played holding midfield roles with Sporle, Pawlett and McNulty playing in front of them. Butcher and Fuchs focused on winning the ball back and playing it to guys like Sporle and Pawlett who can run with the ball and create things (not too often, but sometimes).

    Killie at home just before Xmas. 2-0 victory. Butcher and Fuchs played with McMullan and Bolton either side of them. Shanks and McNulty up top. Wingers.

    Livi home 3-0 victory. Fuchs and Butcher played with Pawlett and Sporle either side of them and Louis up front with Shanks, we were 1-0 up within the first minute and it was one of our best performances of the season.

    There are a couple of examples.

    Cheers for that Bud. That's us sorted then??!? No more signings needed. We DO have wingers then👍

    I hope you sensed the sarcasm in that post👍
