I wish my glasses were as rose tinted about the current manager.
he certainly got something of a performance, namely effort, commitment and 60% possession, i think there is a case for saying we have played much much worse and won, the possession thing is a bit of an anvil around the neck, win/60% possession combo's are rare.
I'm tempted to watch the game again and work out where this went wrong but looking at chances created compared to possession i'm concluding we spent alot of time 'probing' but trying to get 3 men through on goal against 6 defenders type thing.
I think Hughton got an ok performance, could of won, but the rigid tactics possibly end up nullifying us more than the opposition, in the end, and i think our lads work very very hard, get tired, hence late cards, goals and injuries
Those 'rigid' tactics saved us from a graver beating.
Imagine what he could do if he had a LB, CM and a Striker?
Dane? DANE? (Are you there, Dane? Come in no.7...)
