I'm 'on the fence' - but if you asked the same question about Trossard, Maupay and Connolly, I'd answer OUT.
Our 'strikers' are simply not up to PL standard; none of them.

I know I said I wouldn’t do this again but are we going to blame the manager or the players?
I cannot tell you how gutting this season has been for me
In because a) whatever we do, it is decreed he will lead us in the Championship and hopefully do a Farke so what s the point of voting no; b) he cant don his boots and do the job for them. He is being let down badly.
We need to get through this season then have a clearout of our strikers and give Potter some proper attackers to work with.
Yup the Potter mania is just a convenient front in his case I reckon, he just enjoys the messageboard shithousery a little too much for someone over the age of 30. Thread will produce more heat than light which is entirely its intention, best to steer clear if you have some regard for your fellow Albion fans
I need to know who the next manager is.
Folk are welcome to take the 'out' view of things.
But who is replacing him ?
He will be poached by a PL club with funds to provide the players he needs if we go down imo. I’d love him to stay if we go down but can’t see it.
Sorry, but for me that's an unfair assessment. Our performances show that he is getting the best out of the players but the handful of players responsible for finishing chances simply aren't.
Poor teams struggle because they fail to create chances and concede too many goals. Our style of play creates numerous chances and we conceded comparatively few goals. I just fail to see how we can blame Potter, if anything blame the recruitment team for not supporting him in forward positions
I am going to admit I have swung between Potter out (mostly in fits of rage) and Potter in over the last few months.
It cannot be denied we are playing brilliant football at times and up until the final third, its lovely to watch. However, Potter cannot be blamed for the fact that the club have decided not to back him with any thing resembling a decent striker (which has been screamingly obviously needed for both this season and last). I mean did anyone seriously think a combination of Connolly, Tau and Maupay was going to cut it? Welbeck has never been prolific and was a cheap option and it hasnt worked out.
Cant blame Bloom and the club if they dont want to spend the money on a decent striker - that's their choice and we have to live with it. It does mean that we have to play at a level that the club are financially comfortable with and I am not sure the Premier league is it. So be it.
Okay. Potter is sacked this minute.
You will make the appointment.
Who is coming ?
