We're good (so far) going forward.

Lively, pacy and direct. Good at counter-attacking as well.

Defence less so. Obviously the plan seems to be play out, use midfield and build. There is no longer the Ruddy kick to Snoddington as an option which Hughton enjoyed so much. As a result I've seen Turner, and to a lesser extent Martin and Whittaker, put under pressure when on the ball and give it away. That may change in a competitive match when they're less likely to take risks.
