Beestin’s not really been at it now for quite a while. Ever since he was diagnosed with long covid he hasn’t been the same player. I know this may seem odd but we may be better off starting Pugh for Beestin. Beestin is the better footballer of the two but Pugh would add that steel we need.
As said above Butterfield best work comes higher up the pitch and he’s not the most athletic of players at the best of times, he comes into his own when attacking.
Pugh’s a bit sloppy at times but one thing you do get from him is 100% effort and he covers every blade of grass. One thing you do notice is that most CM’s at this level lack a little bit of quality but they all tend to cover the pitch really well and Pugh is a player of that ilk.
