[Albion] Hughton’s old guard give him time to bed in Brighton’s reinforcements

I was impressed with Bissouma initially, but after watching him against Wolves I'm beginning to have suspicions that he can't jump. For a big lad he seems extremely weak when challenging in the air.
Hopefully it's something that can be improved upon with coaching.

I think Bissouma needs to develop of bit more 'ooomph' (cliché klaxon alert) he's a bit lightweight for the English game.

Last night I was thinking about Kayal v Propper, and I wondered if we were more backs to the walls because of Kayal's 'attacking intent'.

Propper holds his position and releases the wingers.
Kayal pushes forward with the ball then either releases the wingers or takes on the role himself.

Just a thought - happy to be talked out of it.

Perfectly valid theory. Pröpper is comfortably our most 'controlled' CM. King Kayal charges about (mostly to great effect), and Stephens is prone to the occasional rash tackle, in pursuit of the ball. Davy is the most likely to stop for breath, put a foot on the ball, and pick a pass.
