I reckon the reason Butterfield was less effective in the second half of the season was that opposition managers had sussed him out. Or more likely Dean’s reliance on him as the kingpin of the team.
Disappointing we couldn’t keep hold of him but if this is an indication that Butler’s managerial style is not going to be the same as Dean’s then it could be a positive.
I think we all knew that we really needed to bounce straight back at the first attempt. We didn’t, and unfortunately this is what happens when you don’t!
