Hughton generally plays with one striker dropping deeper. It's basically how we've played for the past season and a bit. It's just a fans perception thing of a striker playing deeper or a midfielder playing more advanced. Not many people were complaining when we thought Pritchard was signing and...

Elvis isn't that close. We'd just play Konckaert, Murphy or March behind Hemed or Murray and we'd still have a bloody good team. I'd like us to have another striker too but we may well get a free agent after the window shuts, or add one in January. It's not like this is it now for the next 41...

The prospect of a 4-2-3-1/4-1-1 with 3 from Knockaert, March, Skalak, Murphy and LuaLua behind Murray or Hemed could be pretty good.

Of course it is, I'm just saying if we matched last season but were scoring more it does make a difference. We only had Konckaert and Skalak for half a season, we didn't have Murray at all. I'm confident that if you apply the extra service and goals from the wide players and the extra goals from...

My point is not the ifs and buts of last season but that any extra goals we score this season are not irrelevant. We found out the hard way last season that it's not just every point that counts but every goal. I'm confident we can match or better our 72 from last season given that we should...

If we'd beaten just one of Rotherham or Forest by 3 goals at home last season we'd have been promoted. I'm not desperately trying to claim anything. I'd like another striker but I'm very happy with the squad we have.

This is a Chris Hughton team. Do you seriously think we're going to get rolled over every away game?

A few thoughts. Hughton wanted a number 10, ala Pritchard. Personally, I think Knockaert, March or Murphy could all play that role. Last season we signed Knockaert and Skalak in January. Pre-Knockaert we had scored 31 goals in 25 games, so 1.24 goals per game. Once Knockaert joined we scored...

It's almost like our two 3-0 wins this season didn't happen.
