Then we need to give him/her some leeway imo. It must have felt a very harsh sacking to his family. I do actually get that
But Jolly Red Giant can do one
You’d rather CH was still the manager wouldn’t you.
I can just imagine you at games. We play 15 lovely one touch passes that end up with a shot and a blinding save that makes a lucky bounce to the opposition, who then run up the other end and score, putting your head in your hands and saying. “Wouldn’t have happened under CH”
And you’d be right
LoL.....
Part of me would, but a larger part to be honest ,wouldn't........ because we are playing better football offensively.
But, I do find the contract award strange, and do feel that some of our supporters appear to be flattered by the good passing, but to me we still aren't generating lots of chances and are just lacking something........ I wonder if its because we actually don't have a decent target in the box, as everything appears static unless we are playing with good width.
I guess, my question would be is that do you think Potter is capable of playing a formation where we absorb pressure and break at pace, like Leicester did to us?
Did you prefer Poyet or Potter?
The stats I've posted are against the same opponents, hence only 11 games as we didn't play Villa or Norwich last season.
Ah, thanks.......
No-one wants to sit through 38 nil-nil draws.
Sure, but the point that [MENTION=3975]ben[/MENTION]'s Grandad made remains

We should have finished much better last season than we did though. So it looks like we should get a better finish than 17th this time round. We are also playing much better than we did last season. We had a lot of close wins like Wolves at home and West Ham, which weren't really deserved. Overall I think we are better at this stage than last season, even though we have equal points.

I would prefer a few 0-0 , 1-1 or even 2-2 draws rather than 5-4 defeats.

Which match did we lose 5/4

Well here's the post where, without using "we" for Brighton once, they accused Tony Blom of unconscious bias (i.e. racism). This is a pro-CH troll account. Perhaps they can prove to the contrary?

GP for me. Poyet was brilliant but once in the Championship he shat himself in setting up against the better teams most games.
Yes, that's a fair point.
I loved Poyet's style of football as it was so progressive, and maybe it was the level we were at, but everything seemed so easy (other than Millwall and Barnsley). We seemed to tear teams apart.
I like to think Potter's Brighton would do the same at level, whereas I'm not sure Poyet would have adapted in the Prem, with more onus on survival.
This time last season we had three shockingly embarrassingly lucky 1-0 wins on the spin. This run masked a pretty poor first half of the season. This season we are mid-table on merit. Last season we were there on luck. This season getting to mid-table has been enjoyable. Last season it was dull and incredulous. I know which I prefer.

Oh no doubt at all, we are a good striker away from being very very good
