[Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

pure_white · Apr 2, 2022

Last 7 matches
P7 W0 D1 L6, 1 point from 21, goals scored 1 conceded 13 - that form often gets a manager the sack. I'm not saying it should but GP is a lucky guy.

Is it possible BHA won't score again at home this season?

Yes and Yes.

I see the Southampton game as crucial to get some of the Amex smiles back.

If we don’t win again this season, which is possible, should Potter be sacked ?

I’m starting to worry to be honest.

I just don’t know, what the answer should be or to be honest how I feel, I’m still numb after getting back.
Norwich we’re clearly the worst team we have played, is it Maupay & Wellbeck is it the Midfield, is it Potter….

I really am disappointed with it all.

Over 8hrs (of play) since we scored at the Amex.

Potter won’t be sacked. He’s unsackable. As results show. What a job to have!

Yup there are some lucky guys in the PL like Hassenhuttl, Dyche and Potter was their teams always has a couple of poor runs of results over a season.

Strangely enough, not sacking the manager whenever it looks gloomy appears to be working for these clubs as they are staying up despite their budgets saying they may well go down.

If you take away the first five games of the season we would have 24 points from 34 games , that is relegation form , only 2 home wins since September, it is just not very good and very worrying

He is not unsackable but luckily we don’t have an owner that panics.

Sacking Potter now wouldn’t be panic, as we’re almost certainly staying up. That’s about as unsackable as football gets. Especially with Potters not so recent form. 8 games is quite a lot at this level in this league to go without a win and hardly a goal. GP can we grateful for such an owner, and his excellent start to the season.

That's a tough game for us to get any points from, playing as we are at the moment . Southampton are a pretty decent side right now.

If he hadn't had an unexpected good start to the season, he would be toast by now.

That's true but you can't start taking those wins away from the the guy just because things aren't going well at the moment. Although I think it was all the draws that he ground out with late goals that have helped alleviate any pressure on him. The points haul at this stage in the season is well above expectation.

That same owner was not that patient with CH. Did the owner change or did the style of the manager change or the quality of "CERTAIN" players?

Many fans never go away. 3 from 16 home wins will make many floating fans think do I wanna return (and as a STH). A win against Southampton is vital.

DarrenFreemansPerm · Apr 2, 2022

He’s had 3 or 4 periods of form that would usually result in a manger getting sacked. This current run and this season’s overall stats are horrific, we’re disgustingly poor at home and it’s never really changed under his stewardship. I personally wouldn’t want to see him sacked, but I have no issue with those who do as the football/results and overall output simply isn’t good enough to justify keeping his job. I do believe if Potter was actually provided with a fully loaded squad then he’d be a roaring success, sadly he likes a small squad which really has bitten him in the ass this season, we’re also not the club that’s going to assemble a highly talented squad as it’s going to be a continuous conveyor belt of academy>first team>sold.

results & overall output - I agree to an extent. But the football itself has been fine.

Except it's not really. We're two under on the [MENTION=3734]Giraffe[/MENTION] tracker thingy.

Agree on the probabilities of your first sentence here. But your second sentence doesn’t follow at all. Say we don’t win another match this season, which is possible as we play just one team below us in the table and it’s away. I think then it becomes a much finer call.

I think like all of us, I don’t have a 100% convincing explanation why the two halves of the season have been so different. Dan Burn who didn’t start in one of our wins until December 26th doesn’t seem to me a convincing explanation. But in the similar lopsided Hughton second PL season, most settled on the explanation that his methods had been worked out by other teams

Yes, it certainly was.

We probably have an owner that realises he’s got a bit more than his money has paid for, but that isn’t at all comforting for fans.
