Get the feeling with a few that we have signed them on the basis of what they were doing 2 or 3 years ago and have ignored that many have struggled for game time or form since then.
More hope than expectation that they would rediscover their form.

I was really hopeful at the start of the season and liked most of our signings. But if certain players such as Ribeiro, one of our better players last season, can’t get a look in, there has to be outside involvement from the owner on the first team.
I think CH is the right man for the job 100%. But it does make you start to ask certain questions of the people at the top.
Where is he? Where is the leadership? Where are we heading?

Well Ioannou is now out for the next 3 games. In my opinion Ribeiro is the best LB at the club. If he isnt in the squad for the next game I will conclude that something has gone off behind the scenes. Read into the reasons what you wish.

I think that is a bit of an insult to Hughton's intelligence.
He would have spoken to people and he would have been fully aware if there were serious problems behind the scenes.
The truth is that there are no serious problems and no chaos but one or two little teething problems that you get in every business and every football club.

Think there is a massive difference in that Hughton has been appointed manager, a proper experienced assistant in Paul Trollope and a no nonsense coach in Stephen Reid. None of those 3 are going to take any crap.
Let them manage the first team with proper support from the hierarchy and we will be fine.

I'll be AMAZED if Ribero gets a look in at any point.

Well - if he doesn’t - who is making that decision?
I doubt it would be Hughton.
