If we were relegated and we were not pushing for a top 6 finish in the championship. Potter is exactly the sort of manager that Bloom, Barber and Ashworth want. He plays a passing game and is brave at allowing youngsters to gain experience. I don't see who would be a better replacement for the...

Sanchez Lamptey, Webster, White, Bernardo Trossard, Bissouma, Alzate, Lallana Welbeck, Maupay

I'm not interested in Leeds or what they may be achieving but more aware of those pushing for titles. Liverpool, Man City, Man United, Leicester, Spurs et al all move the ball very quickly and transition from defence to attack in an instance. I appreciate we don't have players with the same...

No, but I haven't any qualifications or experience in football coaching. I would look to set a formation and tactics and pick a line up to facilitate that plan, changes would be made within the starting line up but I'd have a preferred 11 and look to play that regularly. The benefit of that is...

If we had stuck with Chris Hughton we would probably already have been relegated. Most successful managers have a slow start and periods of uncertainty whilst they transition but once they break through the results start to appear. The only question is will the changes pay off in time to secure...

Dan Ashworth is part of a much bigger picture which Bloom and Barber have spent years defining and building. Ashworth has great pedigree and I hope he and Potter get many years to build this project together

1 yes, 2 yes but Potter isn't afraid to play people out of position, 3 Lamptey would be interesting as a RB I don't think it would go well, 4 our fullback option are not great

Duffy looked great with a defensive style and CM's sat in front and protecting the defence which resulted in lots of high balls into the box allowing Duffy to thrive. CH spotted his ability and bringing him in allowed us to be a solid defensive unit. Duffy would be exposed in our current set up...

There are certain things that are inexcusable like rape or child abuse but I don't think the death penalty would be a significant deterrent for those willing to commit such crimes. The issue will become where the line is drawn for what is deserving of the death penalty, not a decision I would...

I cannot vote for Boris he is a fool, Starmer has the makings of being better than Corbyn but still probably voting for Lib Dems as a boycott to the two main parties who cannot get it right. What I want to see most is an attack on tax avoidance and a party who were bold enough to try and cut...

A, some of the players who would get a run out in the Championship would be superb. We could regularly break records for the youngest starting 11 as more youngsters are given their chance

Man City are well drilled and hugely predictable, they have no plan B and always play the percentages. This doesn't matter because they have hugely gifted individuals and can rotate players in and out each knowing exactly where to pass, run and where chances will appear. We have a bunch of...

What horrifies me is how many people would seemingly prefer a Pulis style back to basics 4-4-2 with 2 massive CB's that "just get rid of it" and players who will "throw their body on the line" showing their passion by running for a full 90 minutes. Statistically all clubs that cling to that...

It's about the players having a clear understanding of who does what during play, currently it isn't working efficiently and the fans are getting frustrated. Constant changes to formations to accomodate differing personnel cannot help. We do 90% of things very well and as Potter is preparing the...

DCL also has the benefit of a manager who has specifically signed some class players to play a formation that allows him to get into the box and receive quality deliveries which he tucks away. There are plenty of key players aiding his season

Considering he was fighting for space and opportunities on the pitch with Wellbeck, Connolly, Jahanbakash and Trossard he did OK. I wouldn't be against him getting some more game time

Players willing to take the risk and have a shot would drastically increase our goal tally, frankly I won't complain whoever they are

We have Lallana, Trossard, MacAllister, Gross, Alzate and Propper would all be better options as a central attacking midfielder than Bissouma

3 CB's means the positioning is different when we defend similarly the space for the opposition is different to what the players are used to and the split second it takes each player to think about who is marking who has cost us. The use of Trossard and Lallana together nullifies one or the...
