Yesterday we had a better overal 1 -11 than Derby and more strength on the bench but we’re grateful for snatching a late equaliser after being out played for long period. We were outplayed by Bournmouth under 23,s and Coventry. The latter are getting more than the sum of their parts because they have a more tactically adept manager who can also motivate his players. Hughton has over a full season and we have got significantly worse. Hughton is very inflexible in his approach and the championship has moved on since it last worked for him. No matter what players come in we will hardly improve until a different method is employed. EM and board please do what most fans know needs to be done.
He's signed one permanent player in a year. A goal keeper.
He had 1 fit outfield player brought in (a loan) for the 1st four games.
We (finally) got Garner in with game 5. It certainly helped. (Another loan.)
We drafted in a LB (we did? No, really...) in time for the subs bench in game 5.
We started the season weaker than we finished last season. Is that possible? (Dunno. We somehow managed to recruit ourselves backward from mediocre fullbacks to no fullbacks.)
We're still doing the same thing. Signing no strikers. It didn't work last year. Or the year before that. I hope Dane knows what he's doing for Tuesday's deadline.
