This. Lots of people blaming the style but when we create bucket loads of chances but, more often than not, can’t score them, it shows you were the fault lies.

Attackers with no confidence.

I’d prefer Murray starting up front to pretty much any of our strikers right now, it’s that bad.

Lack of creativity and urgency from the midfield and forwards.

Webster and March were the only ones driving forward in the last 5 minutes.

Poor performance, we need to be more ruthless and a nastier team

The lack of quality players up top. It took an old hand to rescue a point. Sacking the manager is not the answer. Either spending what’s required on quality players or accepting a real chance of relegation are the alternatives.

I can live with it either way. Albion till I die, at least we are trying (and often failing at the moment) to play the right way

No leaders on the pitch. Too many cowards trying to hide behind doing that meaningless five yard pass to a team mate on the half way line, no real thoughts beyond getting the ball away from them. Need some backbone instilled into the side PDQ. Sadly the soppy sap currently randomly picking players out of the squad seems like the last person capable of doing so

Strikers bereft of confidence and/or not good enough. Plenty of chances (again) to easily win that today, but lines fluffed where it matters. Rinse and repeat at the moment.

Please explain what Potter is doing wrong in your opinion.

What would you do differently?

Sadly not winning a couple of home games in 2020, constant tinkering with the side, he is clueless,

Oh and he's more boring than Hughton..

I would have played Welbeck from the start today, in a must win game, instead he plays the non scoring munchkins...

He’s old, immobile and not the long term answer but all Muzza’s good things are still there: target man, foul winner and the best finisher at the club. Potter needs to do something different and we could really use some nouse up front.

With the possession and the fat number of chances and shots created this season, its very difficult getting around that this team is in need of a strong, quality striker or a dangerous winger. No other team is even close to having this poor shots-to-goal ratio from all of their strikers. Maup has been disappointing, Welbeck is decent but not much more and Connolly is very promising but should optimally not start as often as he does. The club needs another striker to take the next step, its pretty basic stuff.
