I didn't realise it haď got that intimate.

The sad thing is we will be back to this shot as soon as we dare to lose three on the spin again.

What an extraordinary season it’s been.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Should have been 5, Potter out!!

Again I respectfully suggest that pointing out to a poster who's only intention is to wind up, the collective, you.
Is still winding you up without posting anything, probably isn't the best way to stop them from posting wind ups in the future.

 

[Simster]

I've got more respect for someone who decides a change of manager is what we need than that sad sack who insisted we were in desperate trouble when - before the North London away games - we were still actually 80/1 to go down. The very epitome of embarrassing drippiness.
[MENTION=1517]junior[/MENTION]'s call to bin Potter may look ridiculous now (and most of us never agreed with him, of course) but it's a point of view he's stuck with and there are times when our barren runs have made it look almost reasonable. Mind you, I hope he's man enough to say "fair play, we've looked the business for six weeks now" even if he doesn't believe he's ultimately wrong.

 

[El Presidente]

Surely Graham Potter has taken us as far as he can.

11 without a win, soul destroying boring boring football, continued denial that we need a striker and utterly perplexing substitutions week in week out.

People bang on about where he's got us, potterball, suggesting I'm trolling etc. I'm not, I've been trying to get this across to you for 2 seasons now. If this is Potterball it's an actual pile of shit. Football is about winning and scoring goals and we do neither.

We are sinking like the titanic and Potter is out of his depth.

Any chance you could pick my lottery numbers for me Junior?

What I do find quite extraordinary, is that it took our manager so long to work out that Maupay was a serious flaw in the way he wanted us to play.

The pundits had been saying it consistently for ages on TV. A lot of NSC posters had been saying it for the last two years..

Or is it just co-incidence...? Just a thought..?

Anyway, let's keep bashing Junior. Much more fun ....

If IF you happened to be right and I'm guessing I'll struggle to find you spouting this after palace, West Ham, Southampton and Brentford, to name but a few.
Shirley the blame then isn't with Maupay or GPott but actually with Mr Bloom for allowing the club to only have 1 available striker.

You are probably correct in your assumption that I haven't "spouted" this theory after " Palace, West Ham, Southampton, and Brentford".

However, I am fairly certain I have at some point in the past, posted that I didn't think Maupay was even close to being a top Premier League goal scorer.

In my defence, I don't train with the playing staff week in and week out. I thought ( obviously wrongly it seems ) that the managers job was to survey his playing staff and work out ( in less than two years ) that maybe, just maybe.... Maupay,s skills do not suit his playing methods.

So who should the manager have been playing instead?

Give me a five year contract at 30k a week and I,ll have a go at giving the answer.

How can Maupay be a flaw in our style of play? If anything he suits our style better than any other striker we have, he’s a back to goal build up/link up striker who has more technical ability than Welbeck, Welbeck has more legs and is a better holder of the ball.

Results have turned and so have confidence, but to pin this on one player debilitating a style of play is just complete and utter codswallop, during our very good start to the season Maupay was an ever present, so how can he have been part of both the problem and the fantastic start to the season? By the way, I’m not saying Maupay is good enough to be starting week in week out in this league, his chance conversion has been poor (as has Welbecks) but I still think he has a future here.

Bissoumas turn around in form, Caicedos emergence and confidence have pulled us out of the losing spiral, not Maupay being dropped.

Yet you believe to knowledgeable enough to be able to pinpoint the problem, at a time to suit your narrative (although not the mood of NSC) but unable to answer the basic overaching question it raises.

Very debatable.

IMO technically, Maupay struggles, his touch really isn’t that good and frequently over hits passes. However, I don’t think he’s had a bad season either, so actually largely agree with your overall point.

 

[Icy Gull]

I think Maupay has lost his place because a fit ex England striker fits our style better. To buy one of those rather than repair him would have cost 30 million plus. It’s an injury prone player gamble that looks to have worked out, to Neal’s detriment

Will a fit firing Welbeck want to stay at L’il Ole Albion if a richer club comes in with one last big payday though?

This.

THE key turning point was the formation of that central midfield engine room. It was obvious after 10 minutes at the Emirates …. crikey, we have a centre midfield brimming with pace and power.

But I must admit that I love Welbeck’s form just now.

Definitely! I have been longing for this for so so long!
