and no-one that I know of is denying Hughton a fair share of the blame.
But there are a lot of other factors (the nature and timing of the injuries to Tettey, Howson and Fer were terrible for example).
And I actually disagree with the argument that our style of football was terrible (by Prem standards, which has become a very safety first league). We have generally played far more entertaining football than, for example, Palace - whose manager is being touted for manager of the season - but if your players execute badly and you end up losing it LOOKS terrible through the prism of the result.
