The error, either made by Sutton or someone at the BT Sport graphics department, mixed up the two Boyds at Kilmarnock, with namesake Scott Boyd (a centre-back) grabbing the game’s only goal in the win at McDiarmid Park.
After the team was posted by Sutton on Twitter, fans immediately leapt on the error, prompting a second tweet to be sent out a short time later.
It read: “Just teasing on Boyd. Was just checking you were all paying attention.”
The second tweet included an altered graphic which included Boyd in the back five, with the formation changed from a 4-4-2 to a 5-4-1. Curiously, it’s the first time Sutton has used such a formation since taking over the Team of the Week duties for BT Sport. He usually prefers a 4-4-2 with two strikers.
