[Albion] If you're Potter IN, what would it take for you to change your mind?

[DJ NOBO]

When we stop being competitive in games, and get regularly smashed....until then, I’m convinced the foundations at the club have become very strong in the Potter era, and we just lack a reliable goalscorer.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I'll want Potter out when "he has taken us as far as he can".

I still see that he can take us much further.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

If we're still doing what we're doing now for another 15 games or so, then I would believe there is another manager with the same philosophy and style who could get results out of this squad. I still believe Potter can, but I don't want to get relegated, it would be really unnecessary.

Losing 5-0 at home to Bmuff

 

[vagabond]

I would still want him as my manager even if relegated

I have to say - 5 points off the tracker is actually a LOT, that means we've left over a quarter of points that we considered were "par" on the table. That's dreadful.

I am still in. The players are playing for him, and we have definitely been unlucky. However, at some point he has to be held accountable for crap results. I always said I'd give him at least until the end of Jan before forming an opinion (after the transfer window shuts, and over half a season played). I think I am content to give him until Burnley away (6th Feb) and assess then. If we look in trouble by then, 5 league games, 1 cup game on from now, I may reluctantly revise my position as there is only one game there that isn't really winnable.

I am still in too, but results have to start playing a part in the discussion.
The staying up tracker tells me that after a very challenging first 18 games, we are still very much in touch with where we need to be.

The question on Potter is still very much, whether can he get points off the teams around us.
Last season I felt he was instrumental in getting the points we needed.
Tactically spot on for many crucial games.

Ironically I think we are playing better this season than last, but not getting the results.

February is crucial, so many pts available.
If we aren't picking the pts up in Feb, then questions should start being asked.

 

[Icy Gull]

Potter losing the players, if he doesn’t I will reluctantly accept going down. If he loses the dressing room he will have to go.

 

[Wellesley]

I'd love to be 'Potter in' and I support him and the team while he's here. I hope with the new acquisitions of Tau, Moder and Caicedo we stay up anyway, but I think it would be in spite of Potter not because of him. I don't hate him as one idiot on here uses the word 'haters', but I genuinely think this squad is capable of much more.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Defeat to Leeds and Fulham

I am a Potter fan but I would be very upset if we lose both of these games. However, I'd not want Potter out until, as others have suggested, we see one or more of the following:

1. We are outside the playoffs in December 2021
2. This season we see signs Potter has lost the dressing room (multiple players not putting in a shift and not looking like they care; leaked reports in the media from unnamed players that Potter is a clueless gimp, etc.)
3. This season we see reversion to 110% full Hughton, with the up and down the sides and round the back dance, heavy defeats to lesser sides, rinse and repeat.
4. Tony just sacks him, in which case I won't even blink, because Tony knows best.

Can't think of anything else remotely plausible,

So, just checking, you are currently Potter In then?

When the Gem comes back from holiday to confirm the dressing room has been lost.

When I stop enjoying watching us play.

Ever the optimist, I believe that all the time we are playing as we are, we are capable of turning it round. I don't enjoy watching us lose or drop points but it is offset somewhat by the football we are playing.

I was also a great fan of CH but, at the end, I wasn't enjoying watching us and wasn't convinced we could turn it round.

You can't be enjoying watching us play in the final third, surely? When the rubber hits the road we look fairly clueless and often send the ball back to Dunk or Webster to start all over again.

 

[Klaas]

Being near the bottom of the Championship next season, if we get relegated.

 

[Rookie]

IF we are relegated and IF we are outside the play offs this time next year then we will have to look at a change. I very much doubt the first will happen though

 

[Justice]

Apart from giving it a go against the top sides in the league what exactly have we accomplished under GP? 2 wins in half a season if that’s enjoyable for some of you then fair enough each to their own. It’s quite obvious the final third needs work yet game after game we don’t improve in that area, Percy Tau is literally our last hope.

 

[Bob!]

Bottom half of the Championship

 

[Gabbafella]

My thoughts on Potter have been more up and down than a whores drawers, and I'm still not convinced either way.
I love the way he's got us playing, and I do honestly believe that we are a couple of key players away from winning more than we lose, but it's equally frustrating as the lack of bite up front and often calamitous goings on at the back are Sunday league at times and not fit for this league at all.
I need to keep looking at the team like it's a work in progress. We are still new to this league, we are still upgrading the squad bit by bit and it will absolutely take time to get it right, I just hope we have enough to survive while the changes are being made.
For now at least, I do think potter is the right man at the helm, and if bloom and co trust him then so do I......for now.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Dancing on the touchline would do it for me.

 

[Barham's tash]

I’m team GP until TB isn’t. As simple as that.

Doesn’t preclude me from being objective about poor performances or individual mistakes - aka having a sensible rather than knee jerk opinion.

I am staggered by how many idiots on here and elsewhere online slated the performance against City or used it as another reason to try and put another nail in the imaginary coffin for him in their heads.

I’m genuinely enjoying watching the steam come off the words of the detractors especially when they type out “HE HAS TO GO” when anyone with half a brain knows he only goes when either he or TB says.

 

[Gazwag]

This. We’ve got a decent plan, it will pay dividends down the line even if it means a year in the Championship.

Rome wasn't built in a day.....................and all that
