I like Garbutt but you'd think if he was gonna make it has been given more than enough time to show it.

Wow! Didn't realise how young that team was.

I forgot he was even here tbh!

Good goal but I wonder how well he defended. His biggest shortcoming is his defending ,which is kind of unfortunate for a defender.

As ever on GOT you’ll get mixed views, I thought he defended ok , got nutmegged once , others didn’t . He was up against a tricky young winger and I thought did ok. It’s his attitude which has changed the most , now he looks like he’s up for it , working hard for the team .........Unsy that.

Thought this lad had a bright future and seems to have lost track. Unsworth getting him right again it seems !

 

[degsy]

Brilliant free kick

Getting his mojo back?

I hope that's the case Stam, he was a great prospect when he burst on the scene, there's no doubt Leighton at best needs competition.

 

[messymascot]

Can't play in PL or Europa but could play against Chelsea in League Cup and if we get out the group in Europe could add him as a club trained player!

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

He's a left back. We need cover / competition at left back. He's not Cuco.

Winner for me in this context.

This in a nutshell is exactly what annoys me about Koeman. We have the young players but there is a marked degree of reluctance to use them. Now look at that 84/85 team if Koeman had been the manager very few of them would have had a game or even a sniff of the bench.

It is quite clear to me the U23s must be doing something wrong, they are winning matches - how dare they!!!!!!!!!!

PS one hell of a free kick, no GK in the world would have stopped that, but according to some Garbutt is only average, not good enough - HHMMM

..he was up against a goodun’ and coped ok I thought. Got skinned a couple of times first half but stuck to his task. I have to admit to thinking this fella had gone backwards in the lower leagues but he did fine against very decent opposition.
