Hide AdNsiala had come off the Fleetwood bench three times previously following last month's move north from Ipswich Town, while striker Butterworth was a deadline-day loan recruit from Blackburn Rovers last week.
Head coach Crainey said of the pair: "Toto was really good on his first start. He's a good, physical presence at the back and we needed that today.
"We just felt that in the second half we needed to change formation and match them by going 4-3-3 and that's the only reason I took him off.
"One of the centre-halves had to come off and it was Toto but he's going to be a great addition for the group.

A player who may not have made such a favourable impression was Callum Camps, sent off in stoppage time for using foul and abusive language.
Crainey was uncertain what had occurred but said: "I think it was a straight red card but I'm not too sure, so I'll speak to him tomorrow and see what the cause of that was.
"At the end of the day it's disappointing to lose a man but we held on and got the point, and now we'll try to get three against MK Dons on Tuesday."
