Butters looks to the past and prepares for the future - Butters - 2026-11-08
With the rookie season for Butters Stotch behind him, he now looks forward to seeing his squad compete amongst the division 2 minors. Last season the club came up short trying to avoid relegation but all that means is we have new goals to achieve and some new and old opponents to get reacquainted with. With 14 games completed last season, Butters was able to get 2 goals, 1 assist and 1 player of the match award. With 16 shots and 8 on target he just slightly surpassed his 1.92XG. However the 1.75XA rating looks like there is still room for improvement on his setup passes. With an 84% passing completion 13 key passes made Butters looks to get those numbers up much higher. Only 2 successful crosses on 10 attempts was not his strongpoint and might need to be addressed during the season. He also knows his heading is not a strength and achieved just 29% of his attempts, which leaves a lot of room for improving over the career. Tackling was reasonable with 81% success and 2 key tackles made. Interceptions and clearances was something to be proud of with 22 interceptions and 18 clearances for his season. Fouls were a bit lower achieving just 14 of his own while getting 12 against and only receiving 1 yellow card for the year. With the friendlies now over and Butters looks poised to take a big step this year and wants to command the midfield area on both attack and defense. Media and critics will be watching closely to see if this is a breakout year for the young star.
