jep Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Butt signed in July 2004, SBR was sacked August 2004. That was probably no coincidence. A sign of what was to come, at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The midfield general returned to the side for Wednesday's 2-0 victory at Coventry and gave a typically authoritative display in the anchorman role. Butt, who turns 35 next month, covered every blade of grass at the Ricoh Arena and won special praise from boss Hughton for his assiduous efforts. "Nicky was magnificent against Coventry," Chris told nufcTV. "He's had a couple of injuries this season which is unusual for Nicky, and, of course, the form of Alan Smith has also kept him out at times. "But he came back in and I thought he was excellent. "You need that type of character away from home and he is an important player for us in those types of game. "He's played in a few away games now where we've won narrowly and in each of them he's been key." Still, as long as we keep winning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 To be fair, a few have said he was alright at Coventry. As long as he's not playing every week (because his best games come after he's had a rest) then he's alright for this season. Need to get rid this summer though.

Only listened to it on the radio but all I heard was the commentators saying he had given it away. it even reached a point where Lawrenson, who had been raving about him all night, said his distribution was shit. Depressing when Hughton comes out with shit like that. Those quotes, along with the opening post, concern me massively. I can see Butt getting a new contract in the summer.

TRon Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I was disappointed that Hughton played safe and didn't give Guthrie a go in Nolan's place on Wednesday. I suppose Hughton can point at the result and justify his decision but it puts a big question mark over his trust in Guthrie's role in the squad. If Nolan was available he'd have played, what was Chris scared of in putting Guthrie in his place? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Its an absolute joke that Guthrie is missing out because of Butt. The quicker that ginger cunt retires the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 it's not just butt, it's whoever plays that role as smith is just as bad and guthrie has hardly inspired confidence in a more box to box role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 it's not just butt, it's whoever plays that role as smith is just as bad and guthrie has hardly inspired confidence in a more box to box role. It's a constant theme that all of our central midfielders seem to end up in the centre circle in the holding role and the forwards are left isolated. This has been the case whether Barton, Smith, Butt, Guthrie or Nolan have been in the side, sometimes near enough all of them. Even Nolan who has scored goals in his forays up front spends the majority of the game catching his breath in his own half. Which of that lot would you describe as box to box? Guthrie is probably the closest in effective terms for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
