However, that’s all in the past and as someone who criticised Hughes last year, I will happily admit he’s been fantastic this year and deserves his place. He fits in well with Price’s structured style of play, running some great lines and also showing off his passing skills on the odd occasion.
we appear to be be having a a new version of smith's first season, where players who hadn't met potential are now hitting straps they didn't know they had.
noticeable improvements amongst hughes, lineham, ratchford, cooper clark, hill is somewhat near his previous best as well.
Its a work in progress.
