Could be the end for Potter how he hasn't been snatched from us is a mystery, if England could take penalties he would be nailed on for the next national bossBloody love the best football in the 50+years of watching the Albion, maybe the best we will ever play?
Spot on. For a club our size the next steps are almost too big to surmount. We have some wonderful young players on the way UP and a style of play that enables us to give the best teams in the world a proper game. On Redcafe (United forum) they have posters saying that Brighton are the best footballing side in the PL outside the established top 6. Yes, they’re talking about us.

Potter out and out our best manager
I love the way Potter swings from being a millstone to a genius.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I disagree with Junior, but Potter does sometimes make odd decisions and his drought of victories was a worry.
Last night was amazing. Next week we could be awful.
He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very promising boy.

Apologies. Way way too many cold drinks taken last night.
Personally I find Potterball a very emotional roller coaster. When we are not losing, I absolutely love it, but when go on these winless streaks, it is incredibly infuriating.
Same as under any other manager except the high and low emotions are massively heightened for me because on the face of it we seem such a good team who don't score enough goals and gift set piece goals to the opposition, and I still can't decide how much of that is on Potter.

Wonder where these two are? Missing their sparkling insights into the Albion after the game last night.

I have just remembered that I have another gripe about Potter. Where the feck are the scruffy goals? I do not pay good money to see worldies, looped headers and last minute equalisers and not a single scruffy goal I can recall in months
Can one of you cultists remind me when the last one was?

Peak Potter last night. Outplayed Chelsea in every single department but conceded from a set piece where we somehow had Maupay on their biggest aerial threat (not for the first time either) and looked for a long time like we wouldn't quite get the reward we deserved.
Still, the table doesn't lie at this stage, we are we are on merit and that's all I was really asking for last season. He is very, very, very good at not losing. I'm quite giddy at the thought of what could happen if we ever work out how to break down a low block with the squad we have.

In his situation I would give way to more balanced 'senior' opinion !
Is he Palace or what ??
No, he’s as Brighton as they come.
It’s funny how everyone recognises Crodo as a wind up merchant with his showbiz and royal posts, but junior gets so many bites with his threads.

I am genuinely curious, are there really Brighton fans who can't enjoy us doing well because then they have nothing to complain about? I mean if you are more concerned with being proven right about a manager or a player than with appreciating a great performance or celebrating a goal then what can you find to enjoy about supporting Brighton?
It isn't like we are just fluking all of these results, some of the best teams in the world with most of the best players in the world consider playing Brighton a real challenge. Whilst they may not fear us they certainly respect us more than they ever have before.
Obviously Potter still makes weird decisions and sometimes they don't work, obviously if we had better players we might be doing even better than we are, but when Chelsea fans are reduced to timewasting at home against little old us then surely it is time to break out an idiotic grin and just enjoy the moment?

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and ask who they think could or should replace GP? That meaning who would be available right now.
Personally I don’t think it gets much better than it is, we’re exciting and equally frustrating to watch at times, but that’s what you want as a fan.

Junior is an attention seeking WUM. Everyone should know that by now

The thing is, even as a big fan of Potter's coaching, I can kind of understand where Junior is coming from. It is frustrating and no win in so may games is a bit scandalous given the performances. How much of that is on Potter?
Last nights comments were interesting. To paraphrase, when asked about Welbeck, he mentioned the streak of not being able to turn performances into win, how Danny hadn't been around and how maybe that could have made a difference.

Now that really is pretty impressive.

After last night, I particularly like this bit. A striker comes on as a substitute and scores!
Top bombing, Junior
