This. Page after page, week after week and we could have stuck with Hughton or brought in Allerdyce or had a dream management partnership between me and Swanny.

One game a week is more than March, April and May last season which was my precise point.

Do you not read everything in the posts you quote or do you deliberately ignore the bits that don't fit your agenda. I clearly stated last season he had literally months to plan our escape. This season the games are coming thick and fast. It's totally different. Unless you're arguing that a...

Maybe my problem is watching too much. One of the chaps I sit with missed his first 90 mins of the season on Saturday and decided to take his dog for a walk on the downs instead. He was a dang site more calm than me for the rest of the weekend :lolol:

If you were composed at 10pm on Monday night or 5pm on Saturday then I'd respectfully suggest you are enjoying something a bit more mellow with your game than beer :smokin:

As I said, I would have gone "fence" on Saturday night had it been there and in the cold light of a Monday morning I feel I voted wrongly. But, yes, we are now deeply in the shit so those who have never, ever changed their vote must feel like Potter is exactly the man to get us out of...

I think it's been a good and fair debate in the main, given how bad most of us were feeling at 5pm on Saturday. I would agree with NB above. Do we really need these threads posted immediately after the game with no "fence" option? I voted out in the heat of the moment. On reflection I should...

Until yesterday I would have said we need to play more on the break and create better chances. WA mentioned a lot of our wins have come when we’ve had less than 50% possession. But after spunking two pens and an open goal, who knows anymore? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And others seem to want to shut down debate :shrug:

I think there will be a few on here. I've got my Level One and would have done Level Two as I kept up my CPD, but my son's team's break up was made permanent by Covid and I've no desire to do it professionally :lol: Anyone who's helped out at a grass roots club probably has L1 plus the medical...

I asked a binary question and didn't mention screaming or shouting Rog. I'll leave that to you Bear Pit regulars.

Fair enough. This is kind of what I was driving at. I think a much better question than Potter In/Out (which is as binary and divisive as Brexit) would be "is Graham Potter the best coach available for this group of players?" I'd love to know what Simster 's answer to that would be. I'm...

TBF it's no more mad than me suddenly stalking the Malmo board because Palace's Roy Hodgson used to coach there

I'd suggest they discuss it amicably and I'm sure they will. However, managers and coaches have resigned over such matters in the past, including at this club. Again, it's no surprise you didn't get the inference as you're an outsider.

No, I asked a binary question, equally giving the option to answer that Potter would strongly represent for better attacking options :shrug:

No. That's an interpretation you've created in your head based on your own agenda. Simster wants rid of our "useless strikers". I'm wondering if GP agrees and how far he's prepared to push it to get what he wants. My guess is that next season they'll all be here except Welbeck and we'll be...

So does Potter strike you as the sort of bloke who’ll sit in Tony’s office demanding a proven striker who can also take penalties or is he the sort who’ll take what Ashworth gives him? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. We'll have an xG of at least 2.00 from those three incidents alone. A penalty is 0.75 (about three quarters of pens are converted in general) and the Connolly chance must be converted at least once in every two. But total goals = 0. I could take that as "unlucky" or a statistical...

I'm not at all big into xG. I just understand how it works. And what it shows is that we have a lot of very shit shots. To be fair, the one goal in 65 shots quoted by Sky today would do just as well. We create too many poor percentage chances and miss too many of the good percentage ones,
