Hughton usually always makes measured decisions. Even if we don’t like them.
But that formation for this game was just bizarre. Totally unlike him and a total ****ing disaster.
Ryan 9 - he's too short
Montoya 7 - caught out a couple of times, but did well
Duffy 9 - immense. Saw him mouth "I had so much time" to Dunk after his header. Didn't know what to do with it!
Dunk 10 - unreal performance
Bernardo - 8 very good. Made important tackles
Jahanbakhsh 7 - great cross...
Dunk's position is slightly too central and Kayal could be half a yard closer. Stephens is covering the shot to the far post and Maty Ryan perfectly placed.
On any other day one of three Brighton players blocks that shot or Ryan makes the save. It was just a quality strike from one of the best...
My worry is that, although we've remembered how to defend, we still might struggle to create any chances. If toon can nick a goal we might be in real trouble.
