[Albion] Will this be our 'what could have been' season?

How do you judge success for a manager? If it’s on final points total then Potter hasn’t taken us forward much.
Potter has done quite well, but our chances of progressing don’t all hinge on him staying.
The set up, especially the chairman, would give the next manager every chance of succeeding

Well, yes. We're hugely missing him. Surprised he didn't start yesterday. We need him back

Looks very promising and love his energy and attacking intent in his passing. To be a regular starter will need to pick and choose his ambitious passes and mix it up with some simpler balls to retain possession but that will come with game time
Genuinely and it’s not easy to do this, try to live in the moment.
We could worry about one day losing Potter, Biss or Cucurella, but it only serves to make us less content.
Besides, perhaps Potter stays here for years and TB gives him ever better signings?
I haven't been following that bit about Bissouma . Does he get named on the subs bench even when he is out injured ?
If so that's interesting. Maybe he agreed that with the Club that he might have agreed to sign a new contract if they do that because that would mean that if the team wins he qualifies for the win bonuses.
If in return he has agreed to sign a new contract. That would mean that the Club would potentially get a larger fee for him when they sell him if he is under a longer contract.
I am obviously guessing here because I didn't know he was being named as a sub but out injured. And I only know one player still at the club now but don't know him well enough to find out anything like this.

Nobody has ever said he would be a great premier league player by now
No. He was not on the bench against Arsenal and Norwich when he was injured.

Bottom line is we haven’t the money to compete with the so called big boys, ( Liverpool, Man City, man United) and that is why these first 9 games have been incredible.
Yes we can get results individually against them, but over a season, we will not be able to compete.
I think that aiming at a middle of the table position is probably about right now.

Oops, yes I meant Palace and Arsenal
