How about Geezy P. Or G Pizzle? Captures the zeitgeist of our brave new era much better than just Graham Potter.

I agree - we rode our luck in the first half of last season. This season so far, the only fortunate result was Everton whereas we’ve been unlucky with several others (e.g. Newcastle, Palace, WestHam). We are entering the 2nd half of this season playing much better than last.

Totally agree. I look forward to our games far more now and even if the results are not quite getting us the points we want I'd rather see us play entertaining football (bar the Sheff Utd game) and be relegated than survive playing turgid football. Still convinced though we'll be ok this season - 9 wins each of the last 2 seasons kept us up (or 1 win a month) and we are on course for that this season.
With a full season under his belt and the chance to bring more of his own players in over the summer I think we could definitely get to mid-table next season. Predicted 16th this season and convinced we'll achieve that or possibly a position or two higher.
Shocked and somewhat appalled at a lot of the negativity on here after our defeat yesterday on the back of many toys being thrown out of prams after our defeat at home to imho the best promoted side in recent history in Sheffield United.
I'll let it be known that I was dissapointed in the way the club handled itself in the sacking of Hughton so soon after he'd kept us in the promised land of the EPL for another season but GPott has turned me round.
The football we are playing now is easy on the eye, attractive, entertaining front foot football. It's not without its weaknesses but that is to be expected given that GPott has only had one transfer window and is still working with much of the squad he inherited but in less than half an EPL season he's completely turned around the way we play. Facts are points wise we may not be better off than what we were this time a year ago, but lets be honest the points we had accumulated were due to some squeaky, fortunate single goal wins at home and given the performances in those games the results they were producing was unsustainable which was borne out in our points tally in the second half of the season.
Thats not the case now, we are creating many more chances, keeping the ball far better and are generally giving ourselves much more of a chance to win games. I understand there are faults to iron out, we are not as defensively solid as we were and we look vulnerable at times but that is how we play and I am confident in what I have seen in 6 months of GPott that given another couple of transfer windows he can identify players who can improve us and contunie to work on the training ground in further honing and perfecting the new style of play.
Now is not the time for doubts, like Tony has done we all need to get behind GPott and the boys starting tomorrow in a crucial game, it is the time to hold our nerve and I have no doubt the results will follow and we will once again retain our EPL status for another season, doing so in a fashion and style far more enjoyable than what we were getting under Chrissy boy.
