A blend of both.
Edit. Actually, just pop Ulloa up front and perhaps Matty Upson on the bench and I'll be happy.

Which players from both?
For the first time I'm starting to edge towards Hughton. The present team is more street wise and has a greater physical presence to stand up to the rigours of Championship football.
If you could have Bridge & Ulloa in this team we would be near certainties for the title.

I think this squad is better, if we're discounting age I'd put Bridge in too, but other than Ulloa and Upson I think Hughton has built himself a devilishly good team

Houghton doesn't have a team you moron. Get the name right.
Hughton's team work harder when we haven't got the ball.
I don't remember too many occasions when Buckley would be bombing back to help his fullback.

This is the big difference. They work hard as a team, which seems to improve their togetherness.
Last night Knockers and Murphy were constantly tracking back.
I would definitely choose CHs team and based on the type of player he likes, the only Poyet players i would include would be Upson, Bridge..... AND ASHLEY BARNES

Probably Hughton's. Knockaert is better creatively than anything Poyet had (except Vicente in his rare games). Defensively we have far more depth and I think Stockdale is now better than Kuszczak was under Poyet.
The only player we lack from that team is Ulloa. He would be great in this team. Bridge was great but I think I'd rather have Bong on a permanent deal than Bridge on loan.
The best bit about this season is Hughton. He's far more stable than Poyet and tactically I'd back him in the play offs. And, if we lose in the play offs, we'll hopefully have stability this time rather than losing our manager.

I have no doubt with players like Bong, Rosenior, March, Hunemeier and Greer back in the squad this to me is a far stronger squad.

Our manager has been here over a year, and was famous in football for decades before. Yet still there are people who don't know his name.
I wouldn't bother commenting normally, but it's in the thread title and this I find especially irksome.
To answer the question, I loved Poyet's team, and I love Hughton's too. So I can't choose.

both sides have there pros and cons. I will back the current side. For a man who has been in the job just over a year it's an incredible achievement to have created such a good side on a smaller budget than the real big spenders of the league. Was nice he had his name chanted as well in recognition of this last night.

This team. We weren't very good in the Poyet era against teams that played a fast attacking game. Much more strength in depth in this squad as well. We would have run away with the league with this team in the year we finished 4th under Poyet.

Thinking about this last night. CH era signings not including loans Goldson, kayal, Bong, knockaert, Rosenior along with March, Stephens, Dunk, Kaz not a bad team at all just need the striking dept to get sorted

Let's see this team get us promoted... Then we can say they are better
Poyet's seemed to have more style and flair... Dave, Orlandi, Buckley, , but this one is more grafting . If the goals keep coming we'll make it
