Lighthouse Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Thoughts on this? He was in the League 1 team of the year, last year and I reckon could certainly do a job at NpC level. Butterfield has been super consistent this season and has kept FR out for long periods, but I think Frazer is the better option longer term and much younger. His season never really got going what with his shoulder injury and being in and out of the team a lot. I reckon if we give him a decent pre-season and a start in the team next season, he will be an excellent RB. His inconsistencies will improve with matches.

Matthew Le God Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 (edited) I reckon could certainly do a job at NpC level. He has already played 97 Championship games in his career. Including seasons in the playoffs of the Championship with Leeds United. - Dan Harding over 120 games at Championship level. - Danny Butterfield over 350 games at Championship level. People questioning if they are up to it, forget their pasts. Of course it is no guarantee just because they have all played many games at that level before, but at least it gives an indication.

I thought he was alright, then people on here started pointing out his faults, and ever since then i have seen them for myself. Sometimes he looks ok, other times he looks poor, especially defending. I prefer Butterfield but i wouldnt be at all surprised if a new right back doesn't arrive in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me we need to sign a right back unless the young Stephens can step up to the job,not confident of that for next season though. Butterfield might be able to hold down the place for one more season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainchris Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Richardson has been no better than poor in nearly every game I've seen him play. This post is very accurate. We cannot afford to give the ball away continually in Championship and that is precisely what he does far too often. As someone said, wouldn't be surprised if we brought someone in.....Butterfield is the better option if not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Yes must have missed that then, I thought they oscillated between League 1 and League 2 a bit and finally fell back into League 2.Hadn't any idea that they have been in the Championship in recent times.

richardc Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Butterfield is a good defender but will never run with the ball therefore limits our attacks from the back unlike harding and dickson he will not run beyond the midfielders or certainly not to the by line - if he does get the ball in the oppositions half he can deliver in a good ball - so although i wont criticise him - I think we can improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 3 May, 2011 Share Posted 3 May, 2011 Butterfield has been much the better of the two this season and is easily good enough to do a decent job next season (he is better than most of the right backs that played for us last time we were in the Championship). Richardson is quick and strong and a useful member of the squad but seems to make far more mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marino Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Butterfield has been a pleasant surprise - signed as a stop gap after FR's injury and has been a consistent performer all season with some excellent crosses. Deserves a new contract imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Richardson is one of our worst signings in a decade - take a look at the Brentford pen to see why I have come to that conclusion. Bit harsh IMO. Still remember those nightmare Lowe signings that no other club wanted when we were relegated from championship? Ryan Smth, Lee Molyneux, Antony Pulis etc or previous signings of Euell, Donkey Powell, Madsen, Neilson, Jackobson, Davenport, Barnard... thats just off the top of my head so plenty of others i would think. Richardson has been solid alot of games i have seen apart rom Tranmere when he and the whole team had a mare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Richardson is no where near as bad as people on here are making him out to be. He's stronger, quicker and better in the air than Butterfield. He gets forward and pings a decent crossfield ball. Butterfield has been decent in the second half of the season, but both lack that raw pace we could do with. As for worst signings in last 10 years. Powell tops that list. Worst footballer I have ever seen here ever ever ever. Total ****. No, he's not that good. Total bag of ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 4 May, 2011 Share Posted 4 May, 2011 Oliver Barnard not Lee. Olivier Bernard. I know he wasn't a particularly memorable player for us (not for the right reasons anyway), but come on! How many French people do you know called Barnard!? FWIW, I think Richardson is good back-up. Same goes for Butterfield. Difference between the two is that Butterfield is out of contract in June, Richardson isn't. Either way, one of them will probably be playing second fiddle to a new RB next season as Adkins hasn't settled on either of them for a starting spot this season which indicates a bit of indecisiveness on his part. We need players that can grow with the club, so I reckon we should go for Nathaniel Clyne from Palarse and keep Butters or Richardson as back-up.
