[Albion] Potter in or out or fence

[martin tyler]

Why would you trust a proven loser? The prat is out of his depth. Him out and Ashworth with him.

Clearly he isn’t out of his depth. Out of his depth would be cut adrift at the bottom of the league. His remit is to keep us up develop the younger players make the club self sufficient. Then push on and develop a top 10 side over the years. 18 months in he’s doing his job pretty well in terms of developing the side. McAllister Bissouma white Webster Lampety and Sanchez all players who have improved massively over the time potter has been here. In potter we trust

I always feel compelled to add my IN vote but these polls straight after a defeat, in this instance against a team in the top 4 are very tedious.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

At some point he has to take responsibility

I don’t believe he’s the best manager for the job

I think there are better people available right now

The definition of insanity is doing the same th8ng over and over again and expecting different results

Of course I want him to succeed but I don’t think he can do it

For that reason I am out.

 

[big nuts]

Potter has worked a minor miracle averaging a point a game in his tenure, with a championship strike force.

To go into a season with just Maupay, Connolly and Zeqiri as striking options almost guarantees you a relegation dog fight, even if up to the final third you are a top half team.

It’s the recruitment and certainly not Potter who is to blame for our current position.

Given the right tools, we have one of the best young coaches around.

Fine margins.

Anyone who has been paying attention this season would know that we could easily be top 10 this season. We're literally just a player away from that.

We spent next to nothing this summer and it shows. 9 out of 10 managers would have had us relegated by Xmas.

He’s not too good for us, he’s really really not. Stop being fickle

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Potter was unlucky tonight in that two of his most reliable players, Dunk and Sanchez, made dreadful errors for the two Leicester goals. But how Trossard was able to stay on after giving the ball away almost every time he got it is unfathomable to me. And Ali J seems to have burned his reputation as a game-changing super sub into Potter's mind with that goal against Chelsea last year, because he has done absolutely nothing in the first team since then to justify being sent on ahead of Moder, Zeqiri or Tau.

Polls like these are pointless because they won't sack Potter, but it certainly seems that his reading of a game from the technical area is lacking at times. And I think Gross needs a rest from set play duty. But of course we took off Ally Mac, who is the better striker of a dead ball in my opinion.

No, We're just a manager away from that.

If we stay up and can afford to get in a couple of decent strikers then he could be magnificent and might be worth the gamble. If Bloom knows that we can't afford to get the strikers we need, then Potter needs to go. To sum up, I really don't know, but the most dangerous thing of all is to be playing well and so do nothing about it and lose every bloody week.

 

[Surf's Up]

That is rubbish. Every fan has ambitions for their club. Bloom included. He’s invested in academy and young players and brought in a manager to get the best out of them. We play one if not the youngest starting 11 most weeks when the best 11 is fit. If they stay up and I think we will we are an addition or 2 from being a very good side.
Bloom despite what we all think doesn’t have never ending pockets.
Im sure he wants a squad with a resale value as well and a club to be close to self sufficient as possible especially in these tough times.
Personally in potter we should trust.

What you say about Bloom is true but he has baulked at the exorbitant expenditure required to complete the last piece in the jigsaw and we have thus reached the ceiling in terms of how much more he is prepared to put into the club. There is therefore only one direction of future travel.

I've moved to the fence for the first time since he arrived. Totally out-thought by Rodgers in the second half and baffling substitutions.

You say it like it’s embarrassing. Rodgers is an excellent manager is he not?

 

[rogersix]

Your coming across as the most clueless of us all. Anyone who knows a snippet about football knows he made a mess of the second half tonight.

A manager to good for us would have us top 10 not three points off relegation.

top 10? are you sniffing glue?

 

[Goberpiles]

We can’t shoot, take corners, take free kicks or defend in the final 10 minutes of a game, a good manager would try to improve some of these areas yet game after game, we take bad corners, miss shots and concede late goals, maybe setting up to defend with 5 defenders in the final 10 may have picked us up 2 or 3 more points.

 

[Shooting Star]

I usually have lots to say in these threads but today not so much. In isolation, as frustrating as the result was, we’d move on, “learn and take take the positives” as GP would say. It was a fantastic first half and an individual error cost us, punishing us for not having got a second. However, context is everything. We’ve failed to win the games we ought to have done (Palace, West Brom and the rest), and thus this is just same old, same old. We always fail to score the second and there’s always an individual error or a piece of bad luck. As another poster said, when does bad luck become something systematically endemic and at fault? Albion’s problem under GP is that when you don’t win the games you ought to, undue pressure is put on games like today which should have been free hits.

I’m still out (providing we find a suitable replacement). Nothing has changed. I’m not worried about relegation until we mathematically have to start winning. If Uncle Tony told Graham tomorrow to go out and draw each remaining game of the season, I’m convinced GP would do this in 75% of the games. But my word we need help from above if we get to the stage where we have to win a game of football.

Sorry, that was still quite a fair bit.

Rodgers is a good manager, but he had half his team out tonight. If Potter is as good as we all hope he is then he can’t be losing a game like that from 1-0 up at half time.

If we had won the games we took the lead in, we would be 8th. We have 1 more win than Sheffield. Tell me again how Potter is too good for us and this is nothing to do with poor game management...

Would you rather be owned though by a Saudi Prince or a local fan. I think bloom will put money up for that missing piece personally for what it is worth but I also think a player like Bissouma will make way for big money and a player already brought like Moder or Caecido will step in. I can see us moving a player or 2 on each year to balance the books and improve the squad

We were missing our 3 best players too.

We can all be critical of many things, and I am, I don’t think Maupay should be starting. But Leicester are not a mediocre squad. And certainly not a mediocre manager. They’re effectively champions league quality.

We deserved to lose fair and square.

Just to save Icy Gull getting abuse

Thank you for fence option!

With five minutes to go, we were in exactly the same situation as Burnley were last weekend. They got a point and we didn’t. Margins like that are the difference between staying up and getting relegated.
