After visiting the match thread it’s hard not to agree.

I guess none of us are privy to that. I certainly wanted Watkins and I remember being quite surprised we weren’t in for him. There were some Itk posts here (supposedly) That his wage demands were stratospheric and not something we could compete with.

I think most of us know that, we squandered a lot of money in our first flush of the PL. However check out our SALARY budget. We’ve not been competitive there at all. And the league table largely is sorted by total. wage budget. Btw, who’s crying for money to be spent? I haven’t seen that. I...

I think GP isn’t helped by the fact he seems to have several players who need to be treated with kid gloves. Notably, Lallana, Welbeck, Lamptey and Connolly. So no wonder he has to make changes, even more so when considering injuries and suspensions. Lallana especially is a concern for me. It...

GP has surely been brought in for a number of things. Whether you rate him or not. Surly you have noted he’s blooded lots of young players? Some bought, others from our academy. And he’s changing the playing philosophy from top to bottom. Surely you haven’t forgotten our “style” under Hughton...

I’m completely chilled out buddy. But just pointing out the top 10 target is a LONG TERM goal. Not this season, or necessarily next. And relegation may happen at some point, as it has for nearly every team in this league.

I’m capable of looking at the big picture and all the qualities that Graham Potter is bringing to the club whilst acknowledging potential weaknesses which he can improve on. I assess these and decide accordingly. So in your mind you have to think “Potter is amazing, perfect” or “Potter is...

Yes I’ve learned this of late too, but you actually missed the main concern. Set pieces. Someone here posted some stats last week that, if true, are damning of Potters defensive organisation. Conceded a ton of goals from set pieces with Swansea. Worst set piece record in the Championship (this...

It surely is his toughest period as manager, but that’s not him saying he’s “struggling” though.

He does? Where?

Well said [emoji123]

[emoji123] all good WS. I choose to go into the match threads when we’re losing and people are very emotional. I probably should lay off doing that, as I think the other Potter in crowd have (wisely) done.

Nah. Nothing I say is on the level of the abusive language used by some. You certainly won’t find an example of me directly insulting another poster or swearing insults (or being homophobic) that’s for sure. Not even close. I’m not complaining. I have strong opinions and do engage. But I would...

You didn’t address this to me, but I’ll support Plooks on this one. The match day threads have been particularly toxic and abusive for anyone of late who dares support the manager. I can see why many of the Potter in crowd don’t contribute during games.

[emoji122][emoji122][emoji122] Great post, please contribute to the match day threads to help balance out the hysteria [emoji56]

Wrong. Tony Bloom has never said we’re going for a top 10 finish this season. It’s been stated as a long term goal.

Correct. I of course knew Tony Bloom had never said “top 10 this season”, so it was a rhetorical question. Agree it is sad people are using his long term goal against him, or worse, being dishonest about his statement.

[emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122] Beautiful post. But name this poster.

Where have you been? Potter has been getting dogs abuse here from a section of fans for most match days. Not just since yesterday.
