[Albion] The first crack in Graham Potter's calm demeanour?

[raymondo]

Just watched the press conference for the Wet Sham game. GP didn't duck any question or get annoyed at them. The. Man. Is. Class.

all hail the font of football wisdom!

Nothing like ignoring the facts right in your face eh? Best ever start to a season in the clubs history... I think you might be one of those guys who is contrary just seeking attention.

4 soft wins out of first 5 is now 4 soft wins out of first 13. Every time the EPL plays a round of games we slip another place. We'll be 14th going into 2022. As for attention seeking, is that what we must now call that small minority of posters that don't start every post with 'I love Graham Potter but...'? It's what the Cult Of Potter always do. The faith may finally be wavering as reality sets in

It’s where you finish that’s important and that start seems an awfully long way away now back to huffing and puffing in front of goal.

And more important is where we finish next season. I can see us back in the third tier in a couple of years, with no money and no fans. Definitely on the cards. Look to the future. It's only just begun

No talk of playing golf from this GP yet though

Must say I think Potter is being given very little slack for one “in the heat of the moment” comment from a number of NSCers

I don't agree with you on this one Icy.

He has a degree in emotional intelligence, surely there is an understanding that sometimes people get frustrated in the spur of the moment. Clearly, you can argue the same way about GP as well, but all that has happened (IMO), is that he has effectively created an issue from a non-issue with his comments. I would also add 0 wins in 9, until Saturday some pretty ordinary performances, the selection of Locadia over a promising youngster, Maupay's misses, there was plenty of frustration....

I think your post on Saturday about not having the tools to deliver is probably the most accurate summary of the last few days - for me that is what needs to be addressed.

Think Barber has had a word about his customers.

They are not customers they are the ones who are the fans. I know this as customers are the ones who leave before the final whistle, fans are those that stay to the end.

In 5 years' time Potter will no longer be at this club, maybe sooner, who knows.

However, we will still be at this club, as we have been throughout the history that he needs to really look into, not just pretend to.

So Potter may have a point about the booing, but he is just a small part of our history, and to be honest not an important one in my view.

TB

He will be an important one if he gets us into Europe.

Excellent POTG will be back.

Probably about as meaningful as a degree in Media Studies. Seriously, the Cult Of Potter needs to give itself a collective head-wobble. It's beyond embarrassing

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Probably about as worthwhile as a degree in Media Studies

Now, now - don't be a degree snob........

Utter Tosh people left the Goldstone early the Withdean early it’s only more noticeable in a large all seater. I have a flat across the road from Brentford’s ground same yesterday 80 mins loads heading home and they actually scored a goal well a pen.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Have to admit that due to all these nonsense 17:30 kick-offs and innumerable anti-mask cocks, you'll always find me on the 19:20 train whether the game's finished or whether it hasn't. Don't really care that much anymore, sadly. See ya

Wait - you think the bloke with 63,202 posts on here is seeking attention?

 

[twickers]

I don't really care. To me he's a ludicrously over-promoted journeyman. Club and Cult can worship him as they see fit. I just find it amusing

Over-promoted journeyman? Oh my goodness, what does that make the rest of the PL managers?

But its true, I read it on hear.

 

[twickers]

That was such a disappointing thing to see. Can you, please, not just drop a random link into a thread when the topic has moved on gladiator Jet.

Damn, I was sure I'd posted the Diane Youdale link.

I take it you've not yet read our cultist chief coach's CV on wikipedia then? *Spoiler Alert* It's wall-to-wall mediocre

And you think that makes him a journeyman....and over promoted. So by your definition you can clearly be a journeyman (unless you'd throw Klopps, Peps and Tuchel's CVs in the bin), but you can't be a chief coach unless you've somehow had an imaculate conception of achievements?

CV means kind of little. Lewis Dunk has a shit CV but is a superb centre back.

I guess in your mind a good manager CV is to have managed a lot of different clubs, also known as getting sacked over and over again.

I think Lewis Dunk has a great CV. You are rambling.
