The numbers don't lie, how we have offered Potter a 6 year contract is beyond me. Shocking!

Anya - are you a potato by any chance? Your thread makes me think you have a chip on your shoulder.

Apart from that you’ll probably get roasted for your post. Anyway, enough of the humour already, I’m going back to bed and so should you.

You and your sh1tty newspaper can f*ck off and when you get there, f*ck off a little further. Clearly no idea about football.

Tough to argue with.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

The fact that our points tally now is the same as it was last season is largely not the point. There was never going to be a short term improvement anyway.

Graham Potter's expansive, open, attacking style of football gives us far more options and opportunities to improve, whereas Chris Hughton's dour defensive tactics were ever going to lead to survival by the skin of our teeth, or more likely relegation.

Plus of course watching football at the Amex has become a pleasure again, I know which l would choose. All managers have their day, and playing styles go out of fashion. I liked Chris very much and he did a fantastic job in getting us promoted, and l thank him very much for that. But maybe that's exactly what he is best at, getting teams into the Premier League, and then moving on.

Back to bed? you mean you aren't enroute to Anfield? . . . call yourself a fan?

How you don't see that we are playing much better football than last season and the games we have won we deserved to win and many of the games we lost or have drawn we should have won is the opposite of last season, is beyond me. Shocking!

Arsenal were sniffing?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Try watching a game and tell me that we are no better. It’s an entertainment business and we are entertaining most fans again.

You are one of a few CH diehards with an agenda, let it go ffs or at least accept that there was a case for CH being sacked, even if you didn’t agree with it.

This. And.....end of thread.

I find the fact you posted a link to the Daily Fail more shocking tbh. Imagine reading anything in that utter cesspit of a publication

 

[maffew]

You know when people say FACT and it isnt actually a fact.
It just shows that you are a tit and talk out of your arse for attention

FACT

Good to see [MENTION=38177]Anya1000[/MENTION] has popped back on this thread to add substance to his/her view.

 

[LamieRobertson]

The wins this season (excluding Everton) have been far more convincing fact...in addition I can’t recall matches this early in the season like we’ve had against West Ham, Burnley Newcastle Southampton where we deserved more ...the team/style has bags more potential and this is no discredit to CH

 

[RossyG]

I’m a lot more entertained watching us this season - FACT.

Possibly because Tony Bloom is very happy with the progress made in the style of football in a very short time;
Possibly because some of the eight teams who are below us in the Mail's chart are thinking of sacking their managers and may be looking at him; or
Possibly because the 15 points we have taken from the first thirteen games is one more point than the team managed during the full nineteen games of the second half of last season.

Nobody was criticising Chris Hughton at the beginning of December last year. By complaining that Potter hasn't improved on that, you are ignoring the decline that we all know followed. On sacking Chris, Tony Bloom talked of how difficult it was for him to make the decision to let Chris go, but pointed to three wins in twenty three matches. We matched that number of wins in a run of four games during October & November and could well have beaten it if Aaron Moye hadn't have been sent off at Villa.

Exactly.

Go away.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

May be true but it's been a lot more entertaining

This. I couldn't give a toss about stats. As long as we stay up, play entertaining football (which we are) and keep building, I'll not be complaining one bit.

Have you watched any of the games ? The football is on a different planet from last season and the trajectory now is upwards rather than downwards.

There was definitely a case! But they should have given him the 1st half of the following season. The football is better but we spent loads too. Let's see where we end up at the end of the season, the 6 year contract given GP is premature!

No one is looking to hire GP he hasn't done anything yet!

Could have should have, becoming a common theme let's hope we don't say the same thing is we got relegated...
