Agreed - Hughton doesn't use the squad

he has 15 players he trusts. The players he doesn't know he doesn't, and if they do have to play then not surprisingly - because of lack of match practice and lack of confidence - they don't perform at their best.

When Fox played last season we kept the ball much better and I'm pretty sure our results were, on the whole, better with him than without him.

Has barely had a kick, and when he has he's not ready.
