Hughton is not a long ball protagonist - as a player he was skillful and nuanced. He did what he could with what he had at his disposal. Give him better players and he will play an expansive gameEven Dyche who is a long ball protagonist has a bit more attacking nous the 3 aforementioned.
Dyche has a better squad - and two strikers who scored 12 and 10 goals respectively and the midfielders popped in another 10.
This is what Hughton can do with a decent squad of players in the PL - except Mike Ashley wanted a 'big name' so he dumped Hughton for Alan Pardew.
