[Football] Boo Boys.......

[Justice]

Sorry, I think I may have clicked on wrong emoji, should have been this one!

Your last post was garbage and now your pressing wrong buttons go for a lie down fella #safespace

 

[Guinness Boy]

This is basically divide and conquer isn't it? Bring the players together by splitting the fans into good and bad.

Let's hope it pays off tomorrow,

What a bizarre post.

So you believe he's suddenly found a Premier League team to support so that the world can be full of puppies and five yard passes and the evil Maureen can be sent back to his dark castle?

Because people, including you, keep it going.

Probably will be half forgotten by Wednesday night.

More than that, there will be more cheers just to show the boo boys how wrong they were. Thats how it works.

I get the impression that we still have quite a few on here genuinely hoping that GP fails and gets the boot or walks.

I know, bizzare isn't it how some people would gleefully wish bad results on a team they purport to support, just so they can say "told you so" - worse then the boo boys in my opinion.

Yep…heard a few murmers when Maupay came off (or, more accurately I think when DJ Donut came on), but many more at the final whistle (but still a small minority). Potter has got it more or less right in what he’s said today in that the performance on Saturday didn’t really deserve it (was much better than v Norwich, Newcastle & Villa).

Did they boo their performance or the result, or having 20 shots and no goals, or 16 shots off target (the most any team has had this season). Only the people who booed know the answer.

I think the performance overall was great but came away frustrated,

Utterly bizarre in our best ever season (so far). Some really spiteful comments about Potter have appeared on this forum, albeit proceeded by the obligatory “I didn’t boo, but……”.

You don’t have to be that bright to realise that most football clubs finish where their budget dictates (I’m sure some dullard has a spreadsheet on this!). We clearly have a bottom 6 budget and a bottom 3 striker/forward line-up yet people still relish the opportunity to get the boot into Potter because it’s ALWAYS the manager’s fault.

Spot on. The 'Potter-outers' are only ever hibernating, they haven't gone away. Seems as though some are salivating at the prospect of being able to jump on his back again.............what a sad existence.

What a bizarre comment, No one here is wishing a bad result on the team. Can you please find me one quote on NSC that says that? Then again, you're the bloke who doesn't get the Palace rivalry, aren't you?

People are perfectly entitled to point out that we've not won in eight and not scored from open play in over 270 minutes though aren't they? And I think one or two need to remove blue and white specs. I had two mates at the game on Saturday who are Brighton based fans of other teams. Both said the quality was poor from both sides, but particularly Leeds, and that the weather conditions were partly to blame. That's not unreasonable is it?

The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Saturday was classic Potter's Brighton. Dominant but totally unable to score / win. If that had been the first time ever I think most in the ground would have heartily applauded the performance and just shrugged their shoulders at one of those days. But it's been the most dominant pattern of the last couple of years. At some point we need to accept that this group of attacking players isn't working for this coach. Then we either need to change that or just accept that this is another groundhog season and that our lot is to follow our budget to about 16th for a couple of years before quietly slipping into the Championship. There are many who will be happy with that so long as the football is nice. Will Tony be?

One thing is for sure. The way to win the fans over is not to split them into good and bad (or, if you are [MENTION=20746]Change at Barnham[/MENTION] clever and thick) camps and then double down on it.

I can think of two posters immediately who would like to see the back of Graham Potter, both of which have made their feelings clear on this thread, for that to happen we would have to lose a lot of games, as I can assure you Tony Bloom won't sack a manager for drawing games, even if we "should" have won.

Ergo, if they want Potter gone they must want Brighton to perform badly, not exactly a great leap of faith is it?

Finally, and on a personal note, as a mod you have a bit of a tendency for being a bit unnecessarily snidey with your comments, your recent comment to [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION] and now digging up previous comments of mine on a totally unrelated thread bear testament to that.

So no one's said it. you've inferred it for yourself. And no doubt pointing that out is snidey.

And it's quite reasonable in context to go back to other posts. There are fans who have followed the club through thick and thin, who have the Palace rivalry as part of their lives since they can remember and who would be there on a cold January Tuesday in League Two, They're the hardcore support and they want to see us win because the 90 minutes they're at the ground for are the highlight of their week rather than just another leisure activity to do with the kids. And now it seems some are just dismissed as thick and entitled.

"Poor old Swanny" bounces old threads for fun all the time. No doubt the next time we win he'll smugly bounce this,

Can I refer you to my pissed up end of match original post on the FFS Bloom thread for the solution? Blaming Potter, which I suggest you ARE doing, because our players can’t put away the chances that the coach’s football makes is head in the sand stuff imo

If he was leaving better forwards on the bench or dropping them, you’d have a point. In fact he has tried dropping our only decent striker and that didn’t work either. What do you suggest the solution is?

Mine is that we move heaven and earth to get a loan signing from one of the top clubs in January

Nope.

It was deliberately phrased that way. Read my first post on this thread.

Andone and Zequiri would solve the problem? Is this the Andone who can’t get in the match day squad where he is on loan? Zequiri was presumably sent out to get game time (guess). Maybe Potter thought Connolly would come good, if so, yes, he has got that wrong so far. Locadia - we almost certainly couldn’t find anyone to take him imo.

Paucity of quality is the problem and Andone and Zequiri would not have solved it imo.

But carry on blaming Potter, it’s like expecting a mechanic to fix a car with a couple of broken spanners though and getting arsey with him because he can’t.

Can you point me in the direction of negative comments directed at GPott regarding the Leeds performance?

IMO Andone is better than Locadia and Zeqiri is better than Connolly.

But you're right, the whole group is weak. Shove, say, Ings and Watkins in there and it would be a massively different story, but no doubt Villa are paying double our wages.

So, does our budget entitle us to nice football or do we have to accept that as Premier League peasants we might have to start throwing it in to some big lads at some point? Or accept the status quo where we have fantastic defenders, two of whom are very creative as well, a decent midfield and no one to convert the product?

 

[The red pepper kid]

i admit i left the ground when Locardia came on , however i would not have booed at full time , no matter how frustrated i am with the lack of goals ---------- my god we are such a good team i actually expect better than 8th place , i really need to calm down !

How much are the club paying everyone they've bought in 2021 but won't see the first team squad for at least 12-18 months?
