Why does there need to be an olive branch? Unless I missed something, everyone has the best interests of the club at heart.
I voted out. We weren't winning games, I always maintained that was my reason for it. I stand by my reasoning at the time. Now we're winning games, I'm absolutely delighted to have been proved wrong.
A few of us have kept the faith for a long time. At one point in December NSC was a lonely place for those of us who believed in Graham Potter. Match day threads were abusive. One guy stalked me accusing me of being ‘Swansman’ because there were so few Potter defenders (!)
Some of us always kept the faith. The long term trend improvements were always there in my eyes. Style of play, tactical finesse, eye for a player, good coaching. And a real swagger about the way we played football. Every game umpteen chances. Dominating possession. Incredible to see the way we transformed. We just weren’t getting the breaks.
Others just looked at short term results.
I think the Potter in crowd has been the majority since then.
To the Outters. Come on. Let’s stand down. You can admit you got it wrong... Tonight I extend a hand of friendship. We’re all fans of the club, let’s unite as a fan base again and move forward together.
Fair play Vags, so here comes my apology. Well i got it wrong, my jury’s been out on Potter since he arrived and swinging if not swung entirely into the out camp in recent months. Nope, he’s proved himself and plenty of us like me wrong. Congrats GP, not since Mr Benn closed his shop has putting on a different coat caused such a transformation. I’ve been waiting 4 seasons for a big big shock away win like this. (Arsenal was good, but they were and still are a bit of a mess fall from Grace type story) Not tonight, that was superb and no fluke/after a run of similar results.
Beating the champs of the world on their turf makes us the greatest team in the galaxy tonight. We’re even bigger than Leeds by my calculations. And possible Massive Wednesday too - aren’t we?
I have to eat humble pie and say I am now back in the in camp but Vagabond I think even if we win the league Junior will stay on the dark side

There’s always one (or maybe 2 looking at the replies here)
Cheers E! [emoji482]
Now the next thing on our agenda is the "teams like Brighton" nonsense. It really pisses me off that the commentators credit the opposing sides poor performance for our wins. Its like Klopp said last time out when he was asked if he was disappointment with only getting a draw against Brighton, to paraphrase "are you joking, this is a very good side a point against them is a result"
I've been Potter in, just, throughout but why have things now changed? We know what has changed, pace of play, closing opposition down, not conceding, but why was this not being done for the last 2 months? October /November although we were losing /drawing we looked great just couldn't score. December January we were awful, conceding and not scoring. So why have things changed?
Anything to do with not changing the line up for 3 games in a row? Something that a lot of people were pointing to. Yes, I know tonight's was changed but that was forced, many other games were not forced.
Anyway, I'm glad we're all happy again. [emoji3]
You are literally obsessed with fans that have a different opinion to you. Is it all a massive cry for attention?
Fwiw Potter has improved his decision making dramatically. Played a settled side unless forced, has landed a transformed player in Ali Mac, has got the defence sorted and results have followed. Of course he’s going to get the support and backing of everyone if this continues and let’s all hope it does and we can carry on moving up the league.
