Not sure why Butterfield seems to be dropping deeper game by game; first half especially was one of those games where you want him within shooting range to offer a different threat. He often becomes lost in those scrappy midfield battles.
Midfield is looking far too lightweight at the minute, if Clunan wasn’t captain he would’ve been dropped, just doesn’t look the same since returning from injury. I’d seriously consider dropping him for a couple of games.
Despite our faults, Tamworth are by far and away the best side I’ve seen this year. Very much reminiscent of a number of national league sides I saw us against last year. Tonight’s result was no fluke, and barring an implosion they will lift the title in may.
To finish a dreadful night on a positive, 5,000 home fans on a Tuesday night is absolutely incredible support for Scunthorpe.
