I don't think people are moaning about the league position

or even the money we've spent. I think most of the moaning has actually been about Hughton's perceived negativity.

So think it's just the same old football conundrum of people having different opinions about playing style.

For what it's worth, I would rather see a more expansive style in an ideal world, but equally realise that we could get ripped apart if we did open up. Wes is the real issue here, and always has been every since he's been here, as Hucks was before him. He gives us something no-one else can, but it's not easy to fit him into a system with two strikers without leaving yourself more open.

I do worry a bit about keeping strikers motivated and involved though if it's going to be Holt plus three competing for the last few minutes of a game. Didn't help Moro's form or sharpness and Becchio is in form and may go off the boil if he spends 80+ minutes on the bench every game.
