Didn't Best play at Cardiff and Wed? (I hope he did as this will be even less relevant).
Straight after the Forest debacle, Hughton had 2 opportunities to keep clean sheets and play accordingly, without expectations.
Whichever striker he played would have been on an absolute hiding to nothing...
After Forest I imagine the first words Hughton said to Jones and esp Calderwood:-
'That's not happening again'.
From that base he's been tactical astute and flexible.
I'm already looking forward to next season.
