Not a game I'd have expected us to win under most managers, but what worries me is Hughton's overall approach. We never start on the front foot, and we aren't making use of our attacking players.
I could understand that under Sabri, because we'd 1 recognised striker, and if anything happened to him we were screwed. So making defending a priority made sense. We also had Cash & Ribero, so driving from the back made sense too.
Now however, we've 2 15+ goal strikers, another workhorse striker as backup & to compliment, and enough wingers to rotate semi-regularly too. We also don't have fullbacks the of the quality we had last year. So it seems strange to adopt a similar approach.
We really need to get at Cov & Wycombe from the off.
