Hughton's negative tactics from last season have returned?

I would agree about tactics an d substitutions tonight 83 mins gone 7 to go and 1-0 down Greer is injured so on comes Crofts what was wrong with going for it and bringing on Baldock we had nothing to lose.

This. We moved the ball quickly in the first half of the season, since the Boro defeat we have become pedestrian and it is noticeable that Stephens delays passing quickly, even Kayal does not drive forward as he did earlier in the season. The wingers are playing deeper and this appears to be a trait by Hughton when the side is struggling like last season. He couldn't turn it round last season. Let's hope he can this time round. If we play higher up the pitch especially at home then I am sure the players would respond with goals and take pressure off the defence. At the moment the manager is playing fear football trying not to lose and also not to win.

Spot on. At least last season there was method in the madness as we had strikers and wingers who never looked like scoring. With the likes of Knockaert, LuaLua, Wilson available we should be setting out to attack one of the worst defences in the division, trying to play for 0-0 and steal a goal just heaps pressure on a woefully out of form defence.
