Genuinley, WTF? Pritchard is the very definition of "not a box to box player". He's a Poundland Pascal Gross

I disagree with you on that, because:
1. Whenever CH or TB say publically they are happy with the squad, it is 100% the right thing to say for many reasons including squad morale, not confirming deficiences to rivals, and because they are positive people who work hard with what they have to hand.
2. It’s all part of their expertly executed secretive approach to signings. They may or may not have had targets in the pipeline, perhaps they didn’t come off, but they’re not going to tell us.
Chris Hughton will have his sell-by date bit overall has been a superb manager.
The biggest problem has been the recruitment .
With the exception of Ryan and gross (last season) I wouldn’t say any of our recent signings have been any better than their price tag, and in the case of locadia and Ali j, way below.

Izquierdo before injuries. (£13.5m is modest PL money).

Just rate knocky over locadia every day of the week

If only Knockaert could pass like Locadia & if Locadia could attack like Knockaert.
That would be quite some player.

Which one do we take the heading skills from?
There's more to life than heading the ball!

And yet when Propper played this role against Watford we dominated the game and the midfield...

Also my view. Bissouma and Kayal fit the bill but neither can get into the starting 11. If I see Stephens and Propper in the, starting line up against Huddersfield my heart will drop.

Getting in the box more often thus hopefully getting a few favourable decisions from the ref (fouls, free kicks near the area etc) - if we play too deep for most of the game we're never going to get an iffy penalty at the other end.

If we took our chances, and were a bit meaner at the back - we'd be flying. I think Hughton has been unlucky in some regards, but I also think there are questions to be asked about the quality of coaching on the training ground. I think we need someone with a fresher outlook, but I'm reluctant to suggest Hughton should be fired because he's a good bloke and he's the done best job as Brighton manager that's ever been done.
Of late we’ve abandoned that deep lying Alamo defence.
Pushing up, we’ve allowed Mitrovic, Barnes, Wood, and Leicester to isolate Dunk/Duffy, and fill their boots.
Perhaps shrewd CH knew more about getting PL results than his NSC detractors after all.

Knew being the operative word.
Is CH yesterday’s man, to now get out of our club?

Anyone who thinks locadia should over knocky is deluded

Yes I agree. It's a tough pill to swallow playing the defensive game and relying on breakaways to Nick points. Fans get twitchy when you only have one or two shots all game. We should think how Man U have regained form since the departure of Moanioh..........not all gun ho and attack attack attack but a structured approach to defence and attack with speed to Nick points. Of course United have better faster players than us ( Gross, Stephens.....slow in attack ) so are more effective.
In my opinion it's why CH has used sparingly the like of Locadia, Ali, Bizzy, all very good players but not Premier league speed for defensive duties.......yet.Yes we have been unlucky but it's not all doom and gloom, players are being introduced and if or when they do the job Hughton requires of the then we will improve as a team. Bizzy is an exciting prospect but he also is a bit careless in his own half, when he improves this part of his game we can expect him to be a first team regular.

Do you mean as a pair? Because Propper's arguably our best player.
