Yet Swansea missed out on the playoffs last season and sitting pretty this season
... and? Its a completely different squad. Cooper got the luxuary of having players in every position.

Another fan of the cuckoo I see! One day he’ll fly away. Until then, play along, he actually believes what he writes apparently.

You always find an excuse for Mr Potter didn’t he have three now PL players in the squad?
He turned three of the guys into PL players yes. Possible that McBurnie would have ended up in the PL either way. Anyway, its a different squad. Its like saying someone did a shite job in Leicester just because they went on to win the league x years later.
I thought the same about [MENTION=33329]Jolly Red Giant[/MENTION] when Hughton went....

This shows you are as deluded, biased and utterly "unreasonable" as most of us on here!

Well, ask Daniel James if he would have been a PL player without GP.

And imagine if the deal for him to Bielsa's Leeds hadn't fallen through!
Shame Potter seemingly hasn't had the same effect on ANY Brighton player - rather the form of Ryan, Dunk and Duffy, Maupay, (all good under Houghton) dropped off a cliff. And he shipped out pretty sharply Andone, Locadia, Murray.
Anyway, still hopeful Potter can turn it round as I can still remember the joy of watching the team vs Newcastle and Man U.
Not sure what it got to do with anything really?

Just that you seem to think Potter made him, I was wondering how utterly more amazing he might have turned out if the true Messiah had then coached him.
James doesn't seem Champions League/Man U level so far.
Obviously like with any player, James did most of the job himself. But he has stated several times that he thought his career was pretty much over before Potter came.
Agree that he has not been very good at United, I definitely think there is a top class player inside him though. Would be nice to get him on loan in January - good for him, good for Brighton and probably good for United if they dont want to see him rot away.

Would agree indeed. Wages probably much too high for us though.
He has an interest in Brighton and that’s good, is it not?

Once GP works elsewhere, he will not be seen on this board. He is of no consequence.

I think Biss and March have improved greatly under GP to be fair.
<sigh> You must be an NSC newbie. You can't say that. Either he has improved all the players or ruined all of them. We are either going to win the league or we are going down. Either only black lives matter, or none of them. Boris is either nothing but a clown or the most statesmanlike prime minister since Neville Chamberlain.
(I cocked the last bit up on purpose, but I'm confident it'll whoosh many)

I thought March showed potential under CH when playing in the left back/LWB role but you're right has improved again under Potter. Biss has been the revelation definitely, so yes I've got the "any" wrong! Far outweighed at the moment by the general malaise and dreadful form of Ryan, Dunk, everyone upfront. Maybe Potter got the lead roles for the Xmas panto all wrong this year (I do hope Connolly was one of the ugly sisters though).
