[Albion] Should Potter go?

[LamieRobertson]

Yes. Clueless prick.

Looking in the mirror again

 

[NotABrightonFan]

Why Eddie Howe though?? He’s just been relegated!! Wtf are some of you smoking?

Clearly they want a manager who doesn't play as good football and is even worse defensively! It makes perfect sense!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Nope

 

[fleet]

Hard to not say yes just now

 

[DJ NOBO]

He will take us down , for sure .
I wonder if the club would Ultimately tolerate that though, for the sake of the bigger plan, in which potter seems to be a major player .

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

He’s not a prick, not sure he’s clueless either, he is regretfully well out of his depth though[emoji106]

Summed up very well. He just hasn't got the nous for the Premier League.

 

[doogie004]

Yes

But who replaces him

That's Tony Blooms problem to solve. Just like how a club finds a replacement whenever a manager needs to go.

I have been a Potter supporter but unfortunately now feel we may need a change - we have lots of technically gifted players but no sparkle, creativity or oomph so something has to change

 

[neilbard]

Has he gone yet?

A serious post needs a serious response - 2 things - first, he's made us hard to beat which matters. Second, he's still learning and as I'll give a young player time, I'll give an inexperienced manager time. He's not obviously out of his depth.

I want more than just staying up a la Big Sam or Roy, I want a longer term plan with hope to develop and get better. Tony wants the same, if Potter is changed its because TB and Ashworth think he's not going to deliver longer term. But for now I'm with Potter.

Football is a results business and the name of the game is scoring goals. Whilst generally I admire the way Potter is making us play, it’s not delivering. He needs to change something otherwise I can’t see him staying for much longer. Also the worrying thing for me is that the team and especially the forwards have totally lost confidence and when that happens it’s usually only a matter of time before a manager is changed.

A team struggling to score goals struggles to beat another struggling team in a game at the bottom of the table where losing is the worst outcome for both. I am not surpsied at todays game - genuinely.. we all knew it was going to be horrible, even those who want GP "out" apparently, knew what kind of game it was going to be. Once it went to 11 v 10 it was only going to get worse unless we scored 1st. If GP is asked to put a side out, that creates some chances, not just half-chances to give us the chance to win a match, he has done that. I don't put this on him - players playing for their places, their futures need to take chances such as they missed today and have done all season.. I didn't see anything that was tactically naive or not understandable. He made changes, tried different combinations, one of which scored and one of which should have won it at the end. At some point the players need to realise their time is running out and do something themselves about it..

Would Alzate not have been a better sub for Veltman? When Sheff utd go to 10 men, surely the wily old Pascal was a no-brainer to find spaces in and around their two lines?

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lens]

I didint think so to be honest (Ali J/Veltman) .. I could understand the notion that Ali J would provide more width and crosses from wider areas. he didn't make the impact, apart from the one cross that Connolly made, but seemed reasonable decision at the time to me. Pascal was one I did wonder, but again, I dont think there was going to be space between the lines, once they went to 10 men, and so width seen a s a greater opportunity? Not pretending the changes worked, Ali J in particular, but can see why those were the choices made.

Good post

This.
For those in the ‘Potter Out’ camp(of which I’m not!!), who would be a genuinely realistic replacement?

 

[Krusty]

Amazing load of old drivel on this thread.

We (2.90) had a higher expected goals than Liverpool (2.87) in their 7-0 thrashing of Palace

We are only behind Liverpool, Man City, Leeds, Villa, Chelsea, and Man Utd in the expected goals per game so far this season.

73% possession with 50% of that in our own half no doubt. Potter needs an attacking coach
