[Albion] Hypothetical poll re the Albion manager

[neilbard]

Yep, Fulham ship 2 or 3 past us and usual service resumes, it’s just a shame we don’t seem capable of putting 2 or 3 past them.

We just have to beat Fulham, otherwise it's 10 home games without a win.

Frank Lampard's Brighton & Hove Albion - The Dolphins

Or The Lambs.

Pointless thread

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Don’t rate Lampard much.

Bit of fun on a nasty and depressing day

Not sure some that replied to this thread read this or ‘Hypothetical’ in the thread title.

My expectation is that, shortly, Lamps will be looking for a new job, but G-Pott won't. You can do the mathematics, I assume.

Oh, I don't know....there are many posters on NSC who think that 'hypothetical' means extremely pathetic

 

[TugWilson]

Hypothetical or not , i cant stop laughing , thanks for that feel much better !

 

[portslade seagull]

Can't stand fat Frank, I'd rather have potter everyday

But aren’t you shocked at the result of the poll? I know I am, didn’t see that coming

 

[Muzzy]

Short term? No.. Long term? No... it’s a no then.

GP will go on to bigger and better things. Frank however, will not.

I’m not sure anyone on this thread knows enough to make a comparison. GPs decisions get dissected to death and everyone is an ‘expert’ (in the ‘in’ and ‘out’ crowds). I think it unlikely that anyone on here has done anything like that much analysis about Chelsea. Personally I couldn’t even name more than a couple of their players.

Both of them will be better than anyone we’ve got though

Amazed more like , sometimes it sounds like no one on here wants GP . It goes to show when an alternative is offered , the old adage , " you don`t know what you got until it`s gone "stands true .

Certainly ended up a worthwhile thread

Clive Walker yes, definitely. Kerry Dixon though wouldn’t get anywhere near our team

 

[raymondo]

Would you swap Fat Frank for Tinkerman Potter? Straight fight, no other options

Like some think Potter is out of his depth at this level I think exactly the same about Lampard

It's NOT a depressing day...Biden is IN

 

[Seagulls over Essex]

I'd rather be seen in a Dryrobe.

Tedious thread, didn’t take long from the OP to make it a Potter in crowd vs the out crowd.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I don't want Potter out. I want him to continue reshaping the squad in his image, but get better results while he's doing it because our squad is better than we're seeing on the pitch. I think the same of Chelsea, but they're not my particular concern. Potter did a lot of spending last summer to get the players he wanted in Maupay and Webster, adding to our squad without too may leaving. He went into this season with a few more in and around the squad than he would have wanted to have.

My general point is that building a squad takes time, it isn't something you can easily do in the 3 windows Lampard and Potter have had - we're now in the 4th. Klopp needed more time at Liverpool, for example. I think it's harder to get a really tight knit squad mentality with a bloated squad and players not even getting on a 9 man bench. That festers negativity and prevents your younger players developing/getting a chance on the bench. I think we'd be better off culling a few of the fringe players to reduce the overall numbers in the squad.

Apologies if I have been in a coma or drug-induced state of grace but I had had the impression that this was exactly what you want.

Exactly, and well done the OP
