Fans of Port Vale and Carlisle both said they weren't exactly sure what Butterworth is. Given his performance yesterday I can see what they mean. He's not really a number 10, not really a central midfielder, not a winger etc etc.

If we do transition to 4-3-3, which sounds like that’s Hollaway’s preferred formation, that might actually suit Butterworth

Don't think Smith is getting enough credit personally. He played the No 9 role to perfection, won pretty much everything and before scoring had probably our second best effort. Drinan was excellent and for me he's afar far better option than Tshimanga

I agree. My issue, and it's not Smith's fault really, but it's the other players who never seem to be able to read where his flick is going to go. Quite often Smith and A N Other are right next to each other and his flick on is just easily picked up by the defence

There is a good chance he's going to win his header so I think the other players need to be a bit more intelligent and 'gamble' that the header will be won, and run in behind.

Also with Smith, we could vary corners by getting him to try the front post flick on sometimes
