[Albion] Graham Potter tells Brighton fans: Stop shouting 'shoot'... it's putting off our players

[Springal]

I was reading something the other day that mentioned Wolves have a lower wage bill than us, if it’s true then fair play to them they have a team of decent hardworking players. Don’t score to many like us but don’t seem to have the dramatic loss of form every couple of months.

Flip side is their agreement with a ‘super agent’ for almost all of their players meant they have the 3rd highest agent bill - spending £6M more than us last season

Paying money is voluntary.

I'm frustrated as well and want the team to do well. So when people twist and turn everything about the club into the most negative angle they can invent, they create additional unnecessary negativity that doesnt help. I'm sure some of you will get behind the team if this if that while some will do it regardless if this if that.

It was a fantastic thing from those who showed Maupay support, it will help him and the team.

Paying money is voluntary but most of us on here have paid a hell of a lot of it over the years. We are entitled to support the team however we want. We may not agree with each other but we all have a shared aim, you don’t share that because you don’t walk in our shoes. That’s why you need to reign in the slagging off of fans who post negative stuff. Most do it out of frustration because they want us to do well, granted some do it to be WUMs. On Saturday I turned to my mate and said I’ve no faith in us scoring this penalty, that was before I knew it was Maupay taking it, a lot of people around me were saying similar. We still wanted it to go on and would have been bouncing around celebrating had be stuck it in. That doesn’t make us bad fans, that means we know the life of a Brighton fan.

First it was a history lesson and now it's this nonsense. Maybe he's trying the Ferguson tactic of taking flak publically to distract from the failings of the team?

Or maybe he's just in need of a history lesson of where his career was going before we bafflingly decided to appoint him as manager.

Or maybe he didn’t say what the journalists click bait article implied? Which is actually the case

In training they should practise with the tannoys on full volume, some saying shoot, shoot, and others booing loudly, especially for penalty practice

There is no point we could lose 10-0 ten games in a row and it wouldn’t be his true love Potters fault. We should also be grateful for losing 10-0 ten games in a row because we once played in league two and now we don’t

Personally I’d have had more sympathy with Potter if he’d moaned about the twats who scream DUNK every time a corner is about to be taken. And I include my 11 year old in the list of twats that do it.

Decent , hard working - i've no idea but
Wolves do not have a lower wage bill than Brighton.

Yes but Hughton did nothing to address having one of the oldest squads in the league. Ignored the academy. And had lost the dressing room. Potter may well be doing the last, but he's certainly given Tony more than his money - and that's without the £32M of failures signed on Hughton watch

As others have said on other threads the players recruitment was not down to potter or hughton .
And as said on radio sussex after the game after the same amount of games under Hughton we have the same amount of points so how is that giving Tony more for his money it’ exactly the same and Hughton got sacked .

The seasons not finished yet though. Who knows what Tony will do, but personally I think unless the player recruitment improves we are at the level we are

Not sure our loss of form is a recurring pattern this season.. we'd only lost 4 up to this run!! (and we've still lost less games than they have.. )

The day the Beatles released St Pepper's is closer to Queen Victoria being alive than to today.

I clearly recall watching the tv, which had an evening of The Beatles - 'It Was 20 Years Ago Today', but in 1987.

Crazy (to me) that 35 years has passed since that was broadcast.

Edit: Although QV died in 1901 - 66 years before St Peppers, whereas it's just 55 years from it's release, until today.

I like Graham P.
With a bit of decent transfer input going forward i think he has a certain something that could reap rewards.

Saying that, due to the incessant drivel from his bonkers fanboy on here, i see only course of action.
Potter Out! ........and take pizza box boy with you.

There's about 10 000 cities in the world and in 9999 of them people believe they should help their football teams to victories rather than sit and wait for the entertainment.

But dont worry, the manager will be on his way soon enough.

In Brighton owners, managers and players come and go, the only thing that remains consistent is the fans and the dust in the trophy room.

This is either a deliberate wind up post designed to get the attention and reaction you crave or yet more evidence you have rarely been to football matches across Europe.

Why don’t you pipe down.

The last thing we need is some journeyman telling all and sundry how they should support their home town team.

The last thing we need is a social history lesson from you or Potter. Been there, done that, worn the t-shirt.

Oh man oh man, I'm going to tell you a little bit about support the way I've been told here it works...

Lets say your friend, who you say you love, has had a couple of rough months. Lost everything, and a bit of a wreck now. Habitually you drive to the pub where you know he'll be each Saturday.

He is looking pretty down. You stare at him silently for about 80 minutes. After a while, a tear runs down his cheek. You groan... you make sure the groan is loud enough for him to hear it.
"I paid to get here," you tell him. "And you're not entertaining me."
He fights to hold back his tears but it isnt easy.
"Sorry, I'm just having a really rough time now..." he says, wiping his tears.
"Boo," you say.
"... what? You're not helping..," he admits, trying to regain some confidence.
"Boo. I helped you 25 years ago and now you need to entertain me," you say.
He looks at you.
"You mean when they were taking my house, you came and said 'no' and they took it anyway?"
"Yes. Booooo," you repeat.
"I'm gonna head home," he says.
"Boo. See you next week."

A couple of months of this happening week out week in, your friend is suddenly cheerful. He fought hard to get his wife, job and dog back and finally made it.
"Hello buddy," you say and give him a pet on the head. "We made it through this!"
"Hmm.. yeah. Thank you," he says, looking down on the floor with a dodgy smile.
"I'm gonna give you a lil' applaud here and maybe sing for you?"
"Oh that would be great," he says.
Once that is done, you hug eachother, and afterwards you go stand in front of the mirror ******* like a chimp in a cage while repeating "damn it, I'm such a great and supportive friend!"

He sounds like a right wet weekend.

I wouldn’t spend anytime hanging around with him anymore.

Why the hell was I friends with him anyhow?

And to think that it was thanks to my protests that he had a house to live in anywhere!

Why don’t you just **** off you narcissistic prick.

Indeed. Just like the poor run in 2019 wasnt all CHs fault. Only very primitive and unintelligent people believe that any success or failure of a group is down to one man.

He was in and out in the top flight granted although I’d rather have a few Knockhaert v Manure performances than what’s being served up now he was un playable that night. Great atmosphere to. Three home wins all season or whatever it is I think it’s harsh digging the fans out tbh. If you take our last decent home performance v Chelsea great atmosphere.

Especially when you consider that if you missed the Boxing Day game, you need to go back to August/September time for the last time an Albion player scored from open play at the Amex.

Probably for the same reasons you dont **** off
