We absolutely did not deserve to win that, not even close. I'm not sure we deserved to lose though.
Hughton is having to try to find the right balance as SL did between us carrying more threat and being more vulnerable.
Today there was much better passing and movement, probably the most threat we've shown all season.
But we were also incredibly vulnerable against a side unlikely to be in the top half come season end. They could easily have had 5...
Knockeart lacks discipline and Christie isn't remotely good enough to cover him. Which leaves the team horribly unbalanced and our midfielders and center backs getting pulled out of position.
Colback looks a shadow of Watson, and the likes of Freeman who we had high hopes for just aren't performing at all.
This is where a good manager earns his corn...
Yup.
9 out of the 12 teams we've played currently sit in the bottom half of the table, with us only having played 1 top 6 team.
We've looked shit against shit sides. I doubt we're suddenly gonna start thrashing the best ones.
