I think Coutts is the same player now as when we first signed him. Similar circumstances. Coming back from a long term injury. The only difference is that back then, most of our fans were screaming for his head, saying he was crap. They couldn't see the good footballer in there and appreciate that he was recovering from a long term injury and it would take time. Now most of our fans are screaming for him to be picked, saying that he's brilliant. They still cannot see that he's a good footballer but is recovering from a long term injury and it will take time.
Indeed - some of the crap was quite simply ridiculous - the fella was signed after a long injury and it took it's toll on him.
The issue for me now is that we have Norwood. We can play Coutts/Norwood/Fleck as has been seen, but it may be that Coutts is used in a different way.
