[Football] Assuming we appoint Graham Potter, your gut feeling on next season

Icy Gull said:

Bloody cheat but with advantage of 2 season’s hindsight, a disappointingly negative vote.

We are top 10 at least next season

Good bounce though, interesting to see how we thought it would all pan out

for my money, Ashworth has staked his job on this.

We need to be a LOT fitter.

We need a starting right back who doesn't go AWOL somewhere random up the pitch, but has the pace to properly transition and join attacks.

We need a centre forward who isn't Murray but could conceivably score more and has pace (and if we get this we somehow need to keep Andone happy, because it isn't him but he'll need to be first backup).

We may - and this pains me to type it - need to replace Duffy with a quicker model and hope that we don't miss the fire, undoubted dominance in the air and blocking with any free body part.

But these alone will cost a SHITLOAD of money and that's before you've gone "do you know what, a really quick winger who's more consistent than Izzy and a creative box to box midfielder would be nice".

Thought I was close in season one TBH [emoji23]

My comments were prior to signings and given we’ve sold a lot of the Hughton team seems I was right in the main. [emoji2]

Someone (me) voted. Didnt think it would lead to a bounce but it did.

If that involves players actually running into spaces to receive passes, then I'm all for it. I got sick of watching our players looking to make a pass and throwing their hands in the air in frustration as everyone else was just static, waiting for the man on the ball to move into space in order to pass to their feet. More fitness, more desire to get the ball. If you have the ball, the opposition can't score. Simples. Of course we're going to get picked off by the quality teams. That's life. I expect it. I'd like to see us show less respect and fear for the other 'teams like Brighton' - especially at home.

Really looking forward to next season now. Still relegation contenders I reckon but a much more entertaining ride. For me, I would be happy with 40 points, safety and two or three players who have demonstrably improved or are better than what we have at the moment

It will be a period of transition over the next couple of seasons as the squad is overhauled to suit Potter's style & tactics. Maybe it means a dogfight at the bottom of the table or just above until the right players are in & the wrongs ones moved on. Wont be an overnight wonder but I think it will be more enjoyable to watch even when we lose as at least we would have put a shift in & tried to win rather than the previous try not to lose mentality. My heart says will be a notable improvement and relative ease of acquiring safety but my head says it may go to the wire again in his first season but I think TB will give him time & the resources he wants & needs.

One of Transition but with us having once again a defined footballing style hopefully interspersed by blooding some fearless youths who can show the old guard a thing or two about trying things differently. Most importantly for me back to playing football and if we go down stick with the plan, the man and have faith it will come good. Exciting times.

This. If the hope is that Hermione will convert Ali J, Locadia, and Andone into the PL goal machines (scoring or assisting) that we clearly hoped for when we bought them, I fear we’re going to be disappointed. Season 1? Cling on by the skin of our teeth, unless we buy extensively. Season 2? That could be a lot more interesting - providing we’re still in the PL.

Relegation here we come but at least we go down playing expansive football I guess so no complaints from the fans when we get frequently humiliated . TB has no idea a huge mistake!
