Without Hughton we would have gone down. Didn't we go something like 9 games without scoring at one point too? Not the best advert for our most creative player! Saying he was our best player that season is hardly a ringing endorsement either... the competition wasn't really up to much
So I agree with your latter point, but Tex isn't anywhere near good enough for the team now - and wouldn't be good enough if we went up. He would be a pointless signing. I would rather we used someone from the U23's to be honest, such as Bjordal or Tilley
Was he really that good though? He had one good game every 5 or 6, hence us being utter SHITE that year. Tex is hugely overrated by some people on here IMO
