[Albion] Watford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Dave the OAP]

Champions league mate!

Yes but were only 3rd in the league,, Potter out !!!!!!!!!!

We've also had plenty of fans saying that they thought it was the right decision. Even many of those who supported Chris accepted that we probably needed to change in order to progress.

Yes and it's fantastic, but it's no cause to start criticising a man who's one of our best ever managers.

As a paying away fan I am just happy with the result. Not gloating but certainly sticking it to the negative fans we’ve had moaning since Hughton was sacked. Is that ok?

I’m still in shock.

Go 1 up away from home, bring on a centre forward...who promptly scores.

2 up away from home, bring on a defensive player Shirley!? No, another forward...who promptly scores.

Welcome to Potter-verse. I’m in.

Oh FFS give it a rest - f*kcin' boring shite. We're having a great day, and should be enjoying every minute of it. Yet all some people seem interested in is having a pop at probably the best manager we ever had, who got us from the brink of League 1 to the PL in the first place.

second best

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

There are some very shame-faced people on NSC tonight.

best result since we returned to the premier. Of course it's only one game but no one can have expected better.

Great times and can't wait for the player ratings!

Yes, yes

 

[Triggaaar]

When we bought on one of our players from last season you mean?

No, when we brought on Maupay

Regardless, as I'm sure you know, what I disagree with you about is the idea that we should play our established players out of respect, rather than because Potter thinks they're the right players to get us the best result. Perhaps the result shows it was indeed the latter, rather than just some respect being handed out.

and I didn’t think I could get anymore excited!!

 

[zefarelly]

Well that went well. Happy days.

 

[Lever]

Chris Hughton is the best manager the Albion have ever had but Graham Potter could have the skill to take us to the next level and outdo even CH.

Hey....let's not be too presumptuous - we have won one match!

I am impressed that GP certainly seems grounded and made sensible post match comments!

I didn’t say respect though.

Just said it made sense through experience and team spirit. Think you replied to the wrong person.

 

[spence]

Outstanding result.

Our back 3 were the best players on the pitch

We wouldnt be where we are today without Chris but initial indications were it was the right time for a change. Why can't we be happy with both managers?

 

[stewart_weir]

Most unexpected result of the day (so far). BUT you won't hear anyone on MOTD say that

Welcome to Potter-verse. I’m in.

I'm not against the gist of your post, but we brought them both on when we were 1 up.

I'm very positive about the season (mojo of 9 before today), but thought we'd lose simply due to their home advantage and our new players signed so late.

Elated that my cautious score prediction of a 2-0 loss was wrong, I don't feel shamed at all. I love it when the Albion prove me wrong, I'm a fan.

 

[R. Slicker]

What's he saying?

Reckoned it was a Poor premier league game and continued to talk sneerily about it.
He did enjoy the goals from the subs though.

Never believed the doomsayers. I know it’s only the first game but had an inkling that we had the players and a change of style would pay dividends. Long may it continue. It’s now 2.25am in Tassie so I'm off to bed.

What a result. Fantastic start. What can be achieved when the team becomes more accustomed to the tactics the manager adopts. When our new signings have had time to bed in. Could be exciting times.
