[Albion] Graham Potter - post match last night...

Kosh · Dec 17, 2020

I watched his post match bbc interview and it dawned on me, how much pressure he is under... he looked really worn, not great, shakey, agitated and seriously under high stress. In all honesty I felt a bit worried - and (yep) sorry for blaming him for our failings... on occasion.

He’s trying his utmost and i can only imagine what he went through when our deserved goal was cancelled out...

Anyway, I’m getting right behind him from now on as he’s just a bloke trying his best, and from what I saw re his body language he’s finding it bloody tough right now... I’m no expert, but anyone could see it last night... he looked close to snapping.

Yes - that’s what he’s paid for etc. but he deserves less pressure from us for a start - the players need to work bloody hard - not always the case, see Leo et al.

Time to back him, especially throughout Sunday.

Keep going Graham.

He needs to be sent a link to [MENTION=3734]Giraffe[/MENTION]'s tracker.

Nothing to worry about 3 points on Sunday and we're back on track.

UTA!

Yeah, good man.
He and the club need our full support.
He IS the man to take us to the next level.
Glad we’re not in tier 3.
Anyone lucky enough to get tickets would should sing loud and proud for him.
And stop the f*cking negativity!!!
UTA

When we had crowds, I don't remember a single Chris Hughton's Blue and White Army chant, neither for Potter. In my opinion, I don't think the fans have truly connected to a boss - or shown their vocal support - since Poyet. I have no idea why that is, just an observation and opinion.

Potter, like Hyypia, isn't exactly one to fire the crowd with their charisma and passion.

I totally agree with this.
All we can do as fans is get behind him and the players.

There have been such chants for Potter, the last one a few days ago against Southampton.

I also recall several chants for Hughton, albeit not so much towards the end of his tenure...

Forgive me then I must've missed that.

I also accept a lot of it comes from winning and playing with flair which is a hell of a lot harder to do in the PL than League One.

He did look a tad run down last night, in fact I commented on it to my wife during the game that she was tolerating rather than watching.

However Trossard looked like he’d been on a long razzle

Awww, poor bloke is trying his best. That's all that matters.

I'm glad he's stressed. 5 wins in 31, 6 wins in 37. Spare me the guff about Sunday not being a big game, it's huge

I think Adam Lallana does brilliant post match interviews......you’d almost think that he was the manager/ captain.

Maybe "Chrissie Hughton's Blue & White Army" wasn't a regular chant at the Amex so much but it was certainly sung with much gusto (and sometimes at some length) at away games.

Nope neither do I.

I do remember a resounding Chrissy Hughton's Blue and white army at most home games.
Always greeted by a raised hand to the North by the great man.

If you watch that interview in particular he’s right on the edge ... close to breaking down imho.

I know we shouldn’t feel sorry for these very well paid blokes re stress, but I did - I won’t apologise for that.. sorry.

Fair do's. Perhaps us losing the handful I went to played a part in that

As a ST holder in the North I remember a few occasions. Hell of a lot more grumbling about us being negative though. Especially towards the end.

What about Graham Potter chants? Maybe I need my ears syringed

**** me you've got a short memory mate, it was sung all time in the promotion campaign..

Guessing the news of Bilic’s sacking has got him nervous.

peterward · Dec 17, 2020

Thousands losing loved ones due to Covid, Hospital workers being run ragged with huge personal risks and Loads in retail and hospitality have been fired and cant buy food or pay the rent, and poor old Potter is on what 20-30k per week with 5 years still to run, how awful.

Must be really tough.

He should think himself lucky he is not the Hammers manager, they wouldn’t be slow in coming forwards in letting him know about his lack of victories
