    [Football] Coincidental (?) Potterish Things

    It's like talking to a very dull brick wall. Potter was very good at Brighton. In the context that existed whilst he was here, he was fantastic. He had flaws that are now clear to see and got a lot of slack from the media with blame often thrown onto the players instead. BUT, that doesn't mean...

    [Football] Coincidental (?) Potterish Things

    As I said in another post, if you excuse the Leicester game as an anomalous extraordinary result, Potter's goals per game ratio was only 0.1 goals per game better off than the previous season. We weren't scoring more goals in reality this season under Potter - we had got 4 wins (United, West...

    Very difficult for the club to offer long term assurances but the word coming out of the club after the fact was that there would have been places found for them during the transition at the very least and then up to the new manager. The club like to cultivate and keep staff members connected to...

    [Football] Coincidental (?) Potterish Things

    I guess this is the thing. It was shaping up after a promising but often frustrating progression (lots of long runs of poor form especially at home) but he jumped ship before delivering on it. The whole point of progression is that you take the good and the bad with the understanding that the...
