And why does Hughes think that a good attack necessitates a leaky defence? Leyton Orient last season were a good example of how to balance the two.

It all feels quite similar to Tranmere in 2016/17: quality squad on paper, high expectations, and the great crux of the problem, Gary Brabin as manager. Inevitably when he was sacked, and they brought in Mellon, they ran Lincoln close to the title. How long do we give Hughes before we bring in someone better equipped to utilise the talented players at our disposal?
Good post, agree with this. You are good with words!
