I also think Chris Hughton is a decent human being with integrity and honesty in every bone in a profession full of vanity, snideness, petty point scoring, deceipt, fraud and Neil Warnock.

Said this a lot myself, DP played the deep role when DS was out against Watford and the game flowed through him very nicely.
He changed the tactics twice on Saturday.
As for the budget, it's got a lot to do with it, the research shows a clear correlation between player investment and success.

I bet in terms of the 'stack' of teams our 1980-1983 team was FAR more costly and near the top of the pile in terms of salaries paid out to players.
Correct, we had the highest paid player in the country at one point during that period.

oh yeah, the first half 4-4-2 was one, which just translated to 10 men behind the ball but in a different formation.
Genius
It was changed at half time and we played better.

With 10 year contracts. That was the start of slide into the debts which resulted in the loss of the Goldstone in 97.

Very much this. And as for Neil Warnock, who recently blew a gasket when Chelsea beat Cardiff with a blatantly offside goal in the last minute (am I remembering that correctly), does anyone remember his reaction when Cardiff did the same to us earlier in the season - very much "you win some, you lose some", and then Bamba was not booked for taking his shirt off during the celebrations. Warnock is a hypocrite, a bully and a thug.

Now that I don't disagree with. But I don't support him. I support the club and that's what this comes down to.
Err...but I thought we had to speculate to accumulate, that's what people say on NSC.

Indeed, but lets not kid ourselves.
We couldn't have played any worse if we tried.
It comes down to Tony Bloom, as it's he who underwrote the losses in the Championship of £20 million a year.

It's all about Player Amoritisation, apparently.
I dunno, second half against Bournemouth takes some beating.

Absolutely it does. Tony Bloom the gambler... (and the millionaire businessman).
I think Warnock has topped that with his Emiliano Sala hypocrisy.
Billionaire if my sources are correct!

I'll concede that with 10 men CH team was really shit , where as with 11 we're just plain shit.

Name 3 better managers we've EVER had? I'll wait .....
By "thinking like a League One side" I take it you mean, ah but we can attract much better managers these days. Hmm, ask Man Utd how that's been going lately. And they can attract the very best, but they've had none since Fergie that I'd like to see replace CH, including their current guy.
As for the dreaming that we could be playing beautiful football higher up the League .... that comes down to TB. No-one is up there doing that with paying bigger transfer fees, and higher wages.
Maybe you are younger than me, and therefore don't remember, but much of what you say sends the words "Charlton Athletic" rushing through my brain. Or if that doesn't ring any bells, how about the old Aesop Fable of the animal with the fish in their mouth, but they think they see a bigger fish, in the water and go for that instead. But it's not a bigger fish, it was a reflection of the fish you had, but have now cast aside. Careful what you wish for my friend.
