Totally. As good as suggesting that he has ruined Solly, Knocky, AJ, Dunk and Duffy.

Really? I thought he was saying we have some good players but the good defenders were always under siege and the good attackers weren't made the most of.

Really?! I think Dunk and Duffy have been pretty much brilliant this season!

He said, in so manmy words, we have some good players who had suffered due to Hughton's tactics, unable to play their natural game. may be ruined is too strong an expression.
Agree, but pleasing to see someone, in a position, not jumping on the fake news horse and galloping off into the sunset of their own bum hole, as several have done.

I'm quite impressed by the integrity of Ian Wright. The vast majority of pundits or journalists were highly critical of Hughton whilst in charge, but there are very few who continue to stand by what they said at the time. Ian Wright is one of that minority, I actually respect that. He's admitted to being quite torn about whether or not he thinks Hughton's sacking was called for.
A lot of the other pundits who slated what they described as Hughton's brand of "anti-football" at the time are now being quite hypocritical in their coverage of Hughton's dismissal.
For what its worth I'm gutted that Chris has gone, but I'm also quite irritated about the two-faced nature of the coverage that the club's actions are receiving.

Yep, hilarious isn't it. The very same twats slating our football are now claiming we have made a fatal error in dismissing the man who facilitated it.
Definitely have respect for Wright, he could so easily have joined the Chris love-in or even gone down the BAME route. He has stood by to his opinion, which is a cross-section of BHA fan opinion - split.

Especially Dunk. His passing ability from his position looked to be so high class.
Then this season we don't seem to have seen that side of his game anywhere near as often as we should.

Let's hope he gets that back. Love those long range slices out to the wings.

not sure what Duffy's natural game is, if its not the one he's played these years under Hughton.

Having now listened to the relevant section of the show i’ll Take back what I said earlier...he indeed gives a more balanced view than the thread title suggests
Ps have we really spent £140m on transfers these past two seasons?

Aye, it seems so, near enough. If you include youth teamers etc.

He often talks a lot of sense, including in that example. Doesn't jump on bandwagons but has his own opinion it seems.
Why his ex-partner Brighty is anywhere near media is beyond me though.

This. Our "defend, defend, defend" tactics have pretty much made D&D the best centre back pairing in the league.
I get any argument that we have stifled the skills of anyone playing up front, but our defense has been absolutely top notch.
