Appy Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Good i think, i'd imagine he is a pretty good player for Stephens to learn from.
beatlesaint Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Well I am surprised, but pleased, he's decent back up on the right.
Saint Garrett Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Very strange. I'm guessing we're not intending on bringiing anyone else in at RB and have full confidence that Stephens is going to make the grade sooner rather than later.
wireframebox Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 A palace supporting mate just brought this to my attention... http://www.imscouting.com/global-news-article/VIDEO-Danny-Butterfields-Crystal-Palace-Six-Minute-Hat-trick/5541/
toofarnorth Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Think it shows his absence has been caused by injury not that NA doesn't like him.
Minty Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Danny has always done a decent job when called upon so I think this is sensible.
david in sweden Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2614729,00.html not a bad deal. of course, Richardson is first-choice but Butterfield seldom let's the side down when called upon. He has experience and is not too old to be a part-season player.

Sour Mash Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Another SW bull story put to bed. You lot are just so ITK!
Saint_clark Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Think it shows his absence has been caused by injury not that NA doesn't like him. Are we even sure he's injured? Richardsons been the best right-back in the league so far so it's not surprise to me that Butterfield hasn't had a look in.
buctootim Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Richardsons been the best right-back in the league so far so it's not surprise to me that Butterfield hasn't had a look in. Maybe its just the games Ive seen, but Ive always preferred Butterfield to Richardson. He adds something to ther team, not just the position.
Saint_clark Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Maybe its just the games Ive seen, but Ive always preferred Butterfield to Richardson. He adds something to ther team, not just the position. Not sure what that means in all honesty - and at any rate, Richardson is up the top of the league in terms of assists. If it wasn't for Lambert being absolutely sensational, he'd be my player of the season so far.
buctootim Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Not sure what that means in all honesty - and at any rate, Richardson is up the top of the league in terms of assists. Not dissing Richardson, he is probably the better right back but Butterfield is more vocal and the team as a whole plays better with him in it imo.
Thedelldays Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Not dissing Richardson, he is probably the better right back but Butterfield is more vocal and the team as a whole plays better with him in it imo. better than being top of the league..?
krissyboy31 Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 I like both Richardson and Butterfield. Happy with either in the team. To me they are interchangeable, which seems to be Adkins' plan for every position.
buctootim Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 better than being top of the league..? Yes. We'd be beating Barcelona if Butterfield was playing regulalrly.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 It's quite clear to me that Butterfield has many intangible qualities off the field that the club value highly and want to keep him around because of it. I personally thought we'd see Butterfield leave in the summer and Stephens become the backup to Richardson but no harm in keeping Butterfield around and I can't recall him ever letting us down on the pitch. Explicitly trust the club on this one.
InvictaSaint Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Well, I like Butterfield.....and I also like Richardson. But which one is better? There's only one way to find out.....
Stepgar Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Don't forget it was Butters who was keeping Frazser out for pretty much most of last season. I am happy, but like others surprised. Culd not have blamed him if he felt he needed to get away to get some football.
Suhari Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Well, I like Butterfield.....and I also like Richardson. But which one is better? There's only one way to find out..... Dance off? Is it on?
Sheaf Saint Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Good news IMO. I don't get to watch that many games these days, but I would keep Butters on the sole basis of his performance against Man U last season.
Minsk Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 You lot are just so ITK! I'm amazed that Butterfield has signed for another year seeing as he "isn't a fan of Adkins". http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?35643-Millwall-Replay-Build-Up-Thread/page2 Or, as you would say: you are just so in the know!!

Get your tiny, little brain around this, why the f**k would someone bother to come up with such a made up story about Butterfield & Adkins? Weirdo Because they were full of the brown smelly stuff? (As in, "Adkins always plays Harding ahead of Butterfield at RB, he obviously doesn't rate Butterfield as a RB" or words to that effect - which is obviously why Adkins has just given him a new 1 year contract!?) Or, maybe to try and make yourself look big and important? Many schoolboys try to do similar on internet forums. I don't know, you tell me. But, whatever the truth may be, the fact that Butterfield has just signed a new contract would indicate that there isnt a problem between him and Adkins. I most certainly wouldnt agree to work an extra year under a manager who I disliked! P.S. Well done for toning down your insults. However, they do still indicate a very young mental age (if not your actual one!!)
Lazlo78 Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 What's the story with Butterfield recently? Seemed Frazer had permanently claimed the RB slot, but apparently Danny is picked ahead of him and doing well (judging by match reports). Never our MoM but never our scapegoat either. Just a case of two RB's that are equally rated by the manager? Frazer not firing at 100%? Butterfield picked as a specialist for certain games? Edit: maybe slightly stupid of me to bump a thread with this title, but it seemed the most appropriate thread to use... and it's too late now to unbump it anyway...

I think it's that Danny is a better deliverer of the ball to the box which is what we've needed recently.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 I see as follows: Richardson has a great partnership with Guly, but when Guly isn't playing right midfield I think Butterfield suits our other options there (specifically De Ridder and Chaplow). Richardson gets forward a lot more and offers more of a threat in the final third, but Butterfield has been very useful in certain games firing in diagonal crosses to Lambert at the far post (a tactic we've see a lot in away games since Christmas). I genuinely think it is just a matter of who the opposition are, how direct we're going to play, and whether Guly plays right-midfield or not.
dubai_phil Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Another SW bull story put to bed. Now now, not everyone has a mate who washes the trucks at the RMC depot across the road

IMHO Richardson has had a knock this season and maybe that is why Butterfield is now in the line up.
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 18 April, 2012 Posted 18 April, 2012 Butterfield was outstanding last night. Put some greats balls up the front two and looked calm in defence. That's all I'll say. Has certainly taken his chance.
