is there any incentive for our second string to win?

I'm not suggesting they threw the game or anything of the sort, buy if players like Fox etc are in any way lacking motivation could it be because they know they will not get a chance in the league regardless?

Hughton either does not deviate from a plan, or does not trust/rate his players. Either way, it is poor squad management. Compare to previous seasons where every player was an effective and important player, we seem to be in a different place now.

Whether we can turn it around remains to be seen. The worry is that ten games aside we look pretty timid and short of a game plan. Fingers crossed. Rough ride between now and the end of the season.
