[Albion] Very satisfying

[Barham's tash]

Don’t think anyone had a poor game today. Some industrially apt performances but Groß caught the eye for me. Worked the space without the need to press too much, kept it simple and was a cool head. Great stuff.

Is it me, or did Ben White seem very determined to score against Leeds?

i thought the opposite when he had the chance to shoot on edge of the box looked a bit sheepish about it.

I do love beating that lot.

I thought Mac Allister and White stood out, but my MotM was Veltman - he had a superb game and really showed his class.

This all day long.

Veltman not a wing-back? Superb signing

With only 34% possession, Potter showed that the Albion can effectively switch the pretty possession play for stubborn 'they shall not pass' pragmatism if needed.

Very good to see.

That is what I was worried about. He needs to maintain that mix it up to get those other 6 wins!

As well as the 3pts, It’s hugely satisfying to see those here who called for Potter’s head, claimed he was out of his depth and were abusive to Albion fans who supported him to suddenly being full of praise for the manager.

A minority, I hasten to add.

And now breathe..........

I was exhausted afterwards

Held me breath for the last 20 minutes. Probably

I voted out the other week because I couldn't see that he was capable or prepared to sacrifice is ideology to grind out a result. I piped down when I had a better think about it because lets face it. We're not getting anyone any better. He's still struggling in some aspects but 'learning and moving forward' If we go down we go down. There's no doubt we play nice football, but we don't play enough winning football.

He got it right against Man City, we were undone by a high quality bit of skill and failed to take advantage of our own set plays, which were the only chances we had . He got it right yesterday, although an easier nut to crack. An away win and a clean sheet must be an 8/10 however you achieve it.

Next weekend is the BIG one, for many reasons its a game we need to win.

I think a lot of credit for 2) has to go to Alexis Mac. He does what practically none of the rest of our attacking players do - passes the ball directly towards goal as part of an attack. No arc of disappointment for him, he’s direct. It scares the shit out of defenders.

Exactly.

That goal was fully of Ali Mac’s own making. I was expecting him to push the ball out wide and we’d have probably put in a nothing cross, but instead he finds an inside ball, continues his run, and passes it across the goal for an easy tap in. Super stuff.

Not all Potter outs were like that. Many were quite reasonable, reasoned passionate fans such as yourself [emoji106]

Feels like a massive vindication from all that rubbish and ordeal in the summer. Hopefully we can go on and beat them again in the reverse fixture!

Blackpool in the cup?

Yep, 3 massive points.
