Hopefully we will see a significant improvement from the lad. Shouldn't be hard, after all.
But of your two scenarios I think it is safe to say which is MORE likely.

Really hope so. Get a few in their right positions, with a different attitude and things will look markedly different
Bloody hell, he is playing from the left! But he entered the box.
Good finish but the right back is more asleep than you before parkrun

You don't have any idea which is more likely....did you watch all his performances this season with your eyes closed?
I'll be delighted if he bags a load of goals and assists, I do have an opinion on which is more likely though...

It does make quite the difference. I wonder how differently his Albion career would be going if one of his long range efforts had gone in. He had one dip just over and another cannon back off the bar.. if either of those find the net then his perception is totally different.
Spanish Dave comes to mind a little bit with Jahanbakhsh, and the CLASSIC thread, "what does he do?". At the time of posting, that made sense. But then came the game where Dave found himself at right back and all of a sudden it just seemed to click for him - he became a force on our right wing and then started chipping in with goals and assists. What man, what a legend. I honestly believe the Jahanbakhsh story will be very different.
Worst case scenario, I can retire my green Jahanbakhsh 16 shirt along with the yellow David 21 shirt.
Didn't he hit the bar twice for us from range? Once at home and once in his otherwise totally inept performance away at Everton?
I didn't watch every game but got to 30-odd
Our tactics were dreadful at times
He was played out of position
Plenty of others looked shite too
We'll see.....

For many people there is an awful lot riding on players being:
shackled
played out of position
tactics
At the end of the day, they still had responsibility for their performances once they crossed that line.
I hope Potter isn't under too much pressure too quickly to deliver real notable transformations to our performances. If he gets us to a points total we got at Xmas last season, we should be delighted.
For the whole season? No. He and Ashworth have been brought in to do better than we did last term. Evolve. Progress.
Where I agree is that I think it’s inevitable we’ll have a slow start as his tactics bed in. I’d actually like us to get some of the top 6 early on as there won’t be any expectations against them, we can pick up points against the others later and one performance like Swansea’s against City in the cup will make everyone team Brighton again.

Indeed. I'm still in team Ali J. I didn't divorce my first wife after she cooked one shite meal.
Oh, hang on. Sorry. I did

Well yes, obviously we don't want a repeat of the points haul post Xmas to the finish.

Good points about the bedding in period, and the preferred fixture list.
Notices this thread has reappeared.
Excitedly opens it.
Scrolls up anxiously looking for news he's on his way.
Ends up disappointed.
You utter ********.

Talk about setting yourself up for a fall.
I rarely gamble, but I'd bet heavily on that either-or.

Yep, thats what i was hoping for too.
I am willing to wait and see how he performs under a new coach and a new system BUT lets not kid ourselves that he looked like a premier league footballer, not even for one game.
Yes he was played on the left and prefers the right but so do Solly and Knocky, and neither of them look terrible when they have to play on the left, not as good imho, but still do a job. Every time ive bothered to watch Iran, admittedly not often, they hhave also played him on the left and he hasn't impressed me for them either.
Here's hoping he stuns us all next season, there have been glimpses, but i expect far more than glimpses out of a Premier league footballer.

Not seen such Bravery!
Nice goal.
More of that next season please, Ali.

That's a bit strong isn't it?
A poor first season in a new and very challenging league, with only stop start appearances, in a team playing very poorly.
I have no problem with being critical of his start with us, but this post in bordering on mean.
While he wears the blue and white we should try to be supportive.
If Ali scores.
If Ali's debut goal is at the AMEX.
I absolutely need to be there.
The thought of an Albion player scoring at home and the goal being met with near silence and murmurings of utter contempt will be fantastic and not to be missed.
Something like this would be nice:-
