Not this again, he has dropped butt plenty of times before. If Guthrie is injured who should he play? Nolan is anonymous in a central 4-4-2.

 

Im saying he wont drop him now, after his recent comments about how Butt is basically our version of Zidane.

People have been moaning all season how he wont drop butt despite him doing it on numerous occasions. Its not exactly revolutionary for a manager to big up his players in the press.

 

As said, if Guthrie is injured then his choices were very limited.

Ryan Taylor is in the side because he is the only one who can take a decent corner, free kick etc.

 

That is my guess.

 

if nicky c***ing butt lets him take any of them

 

haha he will, Butt knows he is shit at set pieces man, he even joked about how he could't believe he was the best we had to take them last season.

 

Butt was waiting to take a corner when Taylor came on against Coventry and Taylor took over.

Had a feeling he'd pick Butt.

 

Never thought hed play all 3 of Smith, Nolan & him though, pointless man.

 

4-5-1 was acceptable when we had injured strikers and some were off form. Now even Harewoods doing alright, Ranger gets his first, Ameobis back & scoring, Lovens looking good and he chooses 4-5-1 with justglassedsomeoneinthefaceCarroll upfront ??

 

I like Carroll. But to choose him after recently with everyone else in form, seems a bit past moronic.

Nolan along side Smith. One of the 4 strikers on the bench up top along side Carroll. Simples.

I think Pancrate's pace down the right could provide space and alot of crossing chances for Taylor, if that is the case Carroll and Nolan could cause loads of problems.

 

True plus Houghton think Barnesly are a tough team thats why he needs4 5 1 formation...
