Strangely I think Butler would be a better fit in the National League if he was fortunate enough to stagger us over the line.
His overly cautious game plans and seemingly spending the vast majority of coaching time on defending is a better fit in a league where a mid table finish would be deemed a success. Getting clean sheets against teams that are better than you is an achievement.
If we remain in the NLN his reduced budget will likely cause an even further shift towards the defensive. Together with lower quality replacements for Roberts and Whitehall and it could be a tough season.
As Brackley and Tamworth have shown you win this league by consistently beating the teams you should beat. While a clean sheet is a more valued prize than scoring a goal the you’re not going to win the league.
