Haven't read the game thread but I just wanted to give a shout out the performance by Hughes yesterday, I thought he was really good & picked up the assist for Kosta's goal.
He's been good every time he's got a chance, was unfortunate he got injured last season.

Likewise, I thought he was excellent. What stuck out was his determination and speed getting back in cover, when they broke.
I reckon in a straight sprint, he would be up there with Kosta.

His tracking back to give Olu options when we played back to him was similarly impressive. He was confident on the ball, not scared of a tackle and maybe already our best player aerially.
He's slipped straight into the best XI without missing a beat and I really think at the end of this season we'll be bemoaning Hughes being signed overseas the same way Surman was last year.
