Lovely guy, got the team playing nice football, great man manager, great psychologist when it comes to motivating players, personable and a nice guy, does not get results. Which part of this sentence is the bottom line ?

Nice football? Who are you watching? I'm absolutely sick of this 'walking football' if i doubt pass it back to the keeper shit show bore fest. When did we last play good football? Good football for me is seeing the back of the net bulge.

I’d want Potter to be in charge even if we did get relegated. We have played some of the best football I’ve seen Brighton play under him, which has attracted young talent such as Lamptey to the club. It’s been refreshing given the anti-football, defend for 90 mins dross we had to sit through under the last manager.

We are in a bad run, our strikers do not look up to the job. It’s not surprising, we knew that before the season started. The club need to back him in January.

Pleasantly surprised by some of the posts on NSC tonight. Good to know there’s some forward thinking fans who can see what is being built here.

Far too knee jerk to be thinking about changing a manager. We’re in a run of bad form at the moment, it’ll come.

Forward thinking by winning one home game in a year and heading for relegation is forward thinking [emoji848] ok whatever nothing being built it’s all falling down

I'd be happy with Slaven Bilic. Just got West Brom promoted and picked up some points this year despite very little investment in the team.

He'd definitely add some steel to this side. knows the league

"It'll come" is just blind optimism, because the evidence (one home win all frigging year) suggests otherwise...

Maybe a bit of abuse from the stands would've made him buck his ideas up!

Here's the thing: he's supposed to be the cheerleader. Potter comes across as thoughtful, but dour and uninspiring.

Really not convinced that he's a winner.

A bad run of form? Seriously? We have Tinkerman Mk 2 who doesn't seem to be able to teach his forwards how to score a goal. What exactly are they doing in training? Studying match psychology instead of having shooting practice? I can't remember watching an Albion side have so much possession and so many shots in nearly every game with no end result-goals.

Marcelino

Last seen at Valencia in 2019.

Marcelino's sacking at Valencia earlier this season is one the least justifiable in recent history, with reports essentially suggesting the owner didn't like him because he...won the Copa del Rey.

Before leading Valencia to consecutive fourth-placed finishes in La Liga, plus landing them a Europa League semi-final against Arsenal, he got Villarreal promoted and secured three straight top-six finishes with them too.

Once Marcelino had swapped Villarreal for Valencia, we saw the former decline rapidly and the latter rise up. There's no doubt that wherever he goes, improvement follows.

His patented 4-4-2 formation favours grit in the centre and speed on the flanks, meaning there isn't a top European league it doesn't suit. Marcelino has developed good bonds with his players wherever he has been—so much so that when he was fired at Valencia, the players staged a mini-protest.

:laugh:

I always wondered who invented the 4-4-2 formation.

If he sings for us I wonder what else he might have up his sleeve? I have heard a rumour he has patented the idea of a man standing between the goal posts, possibly wearing a shirt of different colour to the rest of the players. And get this - he has persuaded the authorities to let this player use his hands.

Man's a ****ing genius :bowdown:

Yes I’m optimistic.

Some of our performances have been alright,just missing the goals. Connolly and Maupay are out of form/short of confidence and had one of them converted a few of their chances we’d be in a better position. I’m hopeful (optimistic if you like) that they’ll come through this, or Zeqiri might step up or we might sign a striker in January.

Just need some of these chances we’re creating to fly in, we’re simply not converting at the moment.

Everyone’s at pretty low ebb, it’s easy to get dragged down by it all but I do see grounds for optimism.
