The Commentators on BBC said they would have had Thomson, Craig and Heffernan in the team for today. These guys know a lot more about football than I do, but I say the same. I don't understand Butcher's thinking. I absolutely think Butcher/Malpas are the men for the job next season with their own team, but I am bemused by today's team selection.
i also don't understand why football managers (not just Butcher) wait so long to change things. I think they should always have an alternative shape/plan in mind at the start of a game. If after 25 mins it is not working, a change not only gives you different options when your initial plan is not working, it upsets/disrupts the system the other side are playing, and does not let them settle into dominating the game.

We lack composure. Heffernan and Thomson could probably offer that.

I was amazed at today's line up. If there ever was a day for experience it's today. Butcher does not give me any optimism for the future.

Thomson is the best football player at the club.
When he came on he got the ball on the deck and there was genuine urgency in his play.

These "experts" probably haven't watched a lot if recent games for us where Craig has been torture. You can't choose a player based on what he's done before.
Heffernan I just think isn't mobile enough or strong enough to play by himself or cause problems.
Thomson IMO should start every game
Think the 2 better players today was Stanton and handling, who both tried to play football

He was up against tired inexperienced legs. Had he been on from the start, he would have looked nowhere near as urgent in my opinion.
