Yes, I wonder if he was on our radar? Not Dutch enough, admittedly, but a decent striker.

As a player he should have been but knowing Everton and Palace, his wages probably meant he wasn’t a realistic target.
I think he will be gone if Bournemouth lose on Tuesday.
I think you are right. His interview was almost the equivalent of Quique Sanchez Flores and Slave Bilic just before they lost their jobs. Almost as though they have been told they are going unless results turn immediately.
That is a huge 'IF'. I hope we go there and show a bit more character than we did yesterday or we might just be the catalyst that gets Muff out of their woeful run and it may be Potter doing a Sanchez Flores/Bilic impression.
I was feeling confident at 2.59 yesterday, even 3.49 ... how quick that evaporated
Potter won't be going anywhere.
I get the impression he is the " Golden Boy " of Dan Ashworth presently.

This.
Astonishing that Brighton fans feel we’ll just turn up at Dean Court and take the spoils. Other than changed teams in the FAC win, we’re always awful there, they raise their game. They’re fighting for their PL survival, have home advantage and we so very often play opponents back into form.
I don't often watch MotD. Did they describe Grealish's goal as 'magical'? That seems to be the line Sky Sports are going with:
https://www.skysports.com/football/brighton-vs-a-villa/408202 "Jack Grealish's stunning second-half equaliser" I didn't think Grealish did anything particularly special yesterday, his goal was a good finish to a quick counter attack, but a pretty standard goal. Not stunning and certainly not magic.
I know it takes a lot to impress me with goals, but it seems like it's being overrated. Or am I just being too 'hard to impress'?

This is so true. Teams who run out against us with zero morale always seem to be allowed to grow into the game, get confident, attack us - then bloody score...
We so often lack that 'put them to the sword' mentality which would no doubt get us many more points.

It was Jack Grealish therefore it’s obligatory to describe anything he does as magical

Would have been more magical if he'd not fluffed that chance - having done all the hard bit - just before we ran up the other end and scored
Having said that tho, his goalscoring shot was somewhat BLISTERING. Fair play.

I thought Grealish’s goal was superb. It really wasn’t an easy ball to hit, fantastic technique and on his weaker foot.
Might not be popular to say on here but I think he’s actually quite a special player. Should be in the England side and playing for a much better side than Villa.

Grealish is undoubtedly outstanding, even in the premier league. He is just so hard to like though.
No, not going anywhere of course but a loss at Muff could well have him struggling to find any kind pf positive words.
For 'us fans' a sense of deja vu will likely emerge. I'll stop short of 'season defining' but it wouldn't surprise me, one way or the other. One side will get a real shot of confidence whilst the other will undoubtedly take a huge body blow.
A win yesterday might have had us going into this game with a quite different attitude

Trossard/Maupay/AJ/Connolly would have scored the same . . . . but we didn't have a player on the pitch who could/would cross the ball like that and/or a striker making that run. communication breakdown

I thought that it was a well taken goal from Grealish who is a special player but it was poor defending by us as Webster was marking fresh air with nobody around him, Grealish did show the TYPE of midfielder we should be looking for, one who can defend and then 10 secs later be putting in a shot at the other end.

You mean like Solly March!
...or Tuesday could see us grind out a turgid 0-0 draw.
Can't see a 0-0 ... 2 sides (hopefully) going for it

I would settle now for a draw on Tuesday even 4-4 as it gives us a point and stops them closing up nearer to us.
