I'm glad you said 3 seasons, because I'm worried about the expectation that comes with Hughton. He's a great manager at this level, but it now seems as though many of our fans expect us to go up. We've got a squad who finished 12th, there's a lot of quality in certain teams above us & I just don't see that same quality here. Hopefully Lansdown really backs him in the market.

Carey 6 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Just now, Monkeh said: we have the quality, we haven't had the tactics, Though we are short a combative centre midfielder I really don't think we do. Hughton likes a 4-4-2 doesn't he, who our are quality wingers? Eliasson possibly, but he's apparently off. We could need two of those. Jack Hunt isn't a top quality right back. Possibly need a CB. Williams is hopefully off & We'll be left with Baker, Kalas, Vyner & Moore. As you've said, an experienced CM, hopefully could tempt someone like Dale Stephens (available on a free) to join us.

Kingswoodactor Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 If Hughton does join, I think Duffy and Dale Stephens would be quite high up on his list for Summer targets. Might surprise us with a signing from abroad too. Definitely need a new right back, and that experienced wise head in central midfield to play alongside Morrell, Nagy, Walsh and Massengo.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Well if this is true and fans have got what they wanted I sincerely hope it works out, but I feel more deflated by the prospect of Hughton being appointed than I would if it was Ryan Lowe or a host of young coaches. Maybe Hughton can deliver success in the short term, but would he build something sustainable for the future? Would young, particularly homegrown, players get their chance? Would it be all about securing promotion as quickly as possible or would it be about the type of football we play, and the longer-term future? I suspect I may not be alone in being concerned about where Hughton’s appointment would take us. Premier League at any cost? Not for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Oh dear. 4-4-2. With the squad we have a 4-4-2 will need an even bigger clear out of our player ‘assets’ than I thought. We just haven’t the players to implement that system. Was never quite sure what sort of shape -aside from random chaos - we were building under LJ, but pretty clear it wasn’t a 4-4-2.

Upon promotion he didn’t have the players to carry on playing his 4-4-2 to great effect so he changed to a 4-3-3 and kept them up. Twice. https://www.coachesvoice.com/chris-hughton-brighton-newcastle-tottenham/ He isn’t a one trick pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to remember that our 1st team isn’t a youth/academy team, we are a professional outfit with the goal of winning promotion. A good manager will pick a team accordingly and if the younger lads (Morrell,Walsh etc) can be trusted and will aid the clubs ambition which is promotion then I'm sure they will be used.
