I don't see any progress. 14 home games without a win, and only 3 games won so far in 20.
I don't hate Potter, I just don't have any faith in him.
He can’t seem to fire the boys up enough, we won at Leeds because Ben White had fire in his belly to beat his old side he was everywhere runs through the middle a few attempts on goal we didn’t see that Ben White against Fulham he was back to being half arsed.

A few nice passes miss a sitter (players don’t even look that gutted) and repeat. Very seldom do we see eleven fired up players determined to get a win.

nobody has said the results are good, but every other indicator is positive. don't you much prefer watching potterball, as opposed to the desperate, anti-football of hughton?

have faith in bloom............. patience

The last few months of Hughton was rubbish but before that we weren't moaning about anti-football.

Football under Potter has some advantages and we sometimes play some nice stuff. However, a lot of it is pretty aimless. Our game management under Potter is pretty awful and his record on subs isn't great.

White was playing in a different position against Fulham, and the way Leeds play meant we were given freedom of midfield for a lot of the game

Wolves are on the slide. Have they got a new forward in yet? If not they are catchable

They have - Willian Jose - but he’s a 29 year old Brazilian who’s never played in this league before and having watched him previously, I really don’t think he is going to be the answer.

Wolves are definitely in a bit of trouble. They’ve been very lucky in the last 2/3 years as they have a tiny squad but haven’t had any injuries. Obviously this season that’s changed. We saw how brittle they are now against us.

Not sure - I thought against Fulham there was quite a bit of desire and snapping into the tackles, and so on. Just poor finishing.

The desperate anti-football was just a couple of months in four & half years.

If I want to watch people make pretty patterns running around, I’ll go to the ballet.

the 6-3-1 was a dreadful watch, the players seemed to think so, anyway.

basically a poundland burnley, with only the one up front, always last on motd :nono:

how would the club make the step up to mid-table mediocrity with hughton at the helm?

Hughton is in the past. You said so yourself, but you can’t deny we made good progress under him in 4 years.

We are now going backwards, and, no, I don’t know the answer.
