Even Dyche who is a long ball protagonist has a bit more attacking nous the 3 aforementioned.
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 game

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.

And if Hughton was kept on we'd have been relegated by Christmas. January at the latest.

Based on two years of him keeping us up, yeah? ???

Couldn't give a shit how you sent your snide bollocks, or where from.

I agree. it's ironic that if we'd been relegated he would probably not have lost his job!

I think there is a lot of truth in that. What a weird world football is! (Btw, which region of Essex are you? I live just across in Suffolk but work in Colchester.)

I am delighted for Chris that he should be back in a job soon, but it's far too soon and raw to see him at another club for me. :(

Yep, I’ve said exactly the same on another thread, given the right players Hughton CAN play attacking football. He was desperate to keep The Albion in the Premier League, which he achieved.

I really think the performances would have come, with time and improved personnel.

But imagine the standing ovation he will receive when he brings his new team to the Amex. The sooner he is back in a job the better it is for everyone.

I suggest you go and get the sand out of your vagina.

This. I'd clap him, and I wish him all the very best - and whoever he brings I hope will surrender the 3 points, obviously. :smokin:

100% this. Anyone who doesn’t think Hughton can play attacking football with the right personnel has a very short memory as we were pretty bloody exciting in our promotion season and scored A LOT of goals. Bet Norwich didn’t think he was too defensive when we put five past them at the Amex...
