[Albion] Still keeping the faith with Potter?

[rogersix]

That is just astonishing. You'd get rid of someone who has us in a similar position to last year, while playing way better football and building a project and a style of play, 5 months in to the season? And replace him with who?

What are you expecting, Champions League qualification?

exactly. bin potter and then ....... erm...

mindless fukwittery again

 

[rogersix]

I have a spreadsheet and keeping track with the intent of finding out how to make it look pretty at the end of the season. As of right now its not viewer friendly at all. Lol.

On points our away form might not look much of an improvement. But think of Newcastle & Palace - when did we dominate games away from home like that in the last two seasons? The fact that our home games include big teams may mean that our 'traditional' place to win points might be harder, but I think we'll pick up far more points away than many predict.

Hopefully at Bramall Lane, as I've just got a ticket....!

Agree. Also, we've played Man United, Arsenal, Spurs, Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea away. By this stage last season we'd only played Liverpool and Man City away, so in theory, our away matches in the second half should yield a better return. We may also have a bigger chance against the top teams at home given the way we've improved already against them (and assuming we can keep the fans on side for longer than 10 minutes).

I’m still very much a Potter fan and firmly behind him.

However, today was the first time my faith has waivered a little. I thought the starting 11 was wrong and we were incredibly predictable and easy to defend against. As predictable as we were last season.

A front 2 of Maupay and Connolly clearly doesn’t work and it means that Mooy and Alzate, possibly our 2 best players, our shunted out of position and wasted for most of the game.

And then the substitutions were bizarre, a little bit desperate and made the situation worse.

Not a good day.

He’s making too many wrong decisions. He needs to sort this shite out. I’m definitely more out than in

Very poor first substitution today from which point we were totally on the back foot. Game after game now of shocking defensive errors leading to goals against. Constant changes to players positions. Above all that we look soft as butter throughout the whole squad with very little leadership on the pitch.

Fair to say I’m wavering.

This is the type of game with CH we would have ground out an ugly win

Like the GP philosophy but points are the only importanr currency

We are in a dogfight -again!

 

[Elipsis]

Very concerned that for all the nice football he's not someone who knows how to grind out the wins at this level. Today really was s must win against very limited opposition and we are starting to run out of 'winnable' home games. Maybe we need to go back to basics and get Duffy and Murray more involved - their absence has made us less resilient.

So predictable at the moment. We cannot play this shape unless you have full backs who can bomb on down the line. Get crowded out in the middle, ball is forced wide and then eventually it goes sideways/back until we lose it. We've been figured out and I think we might have blown it not getting the points on the board when we were playing much better earlier in the season.

If has been stated he is happy to finish the season with this squad then he is not the manager for me
Playing like this and gaining few points doing it we will be relegated I am sure of it

This was the type of game we lost last season....

 

[peterward]

look at Ralph Hassenhutl, he was a dead man walking 3 months ago...... looked finished, something clicked and now he looks amazing.

We can but hope

This. The wisest words that will appear on NSC tonight.

Think he needs some help as the headlong dive to the bottom is picking up Momentum

We stayed up last season and that was the most important thing. Or are you happy for us to go down if we play supposedly more attractive football?

Hold on, was that not what the big man from the FA Dan Ashworth was brought in for
If I remember correctly he stated it was his job to keep the manager in their job
Failed at the first attempt I seem to recall

If we were grinding out wins in these kind of games under CH how did we end up in the situation we were in second half of the season last year? Worrying this this season seems to be going the same way currently. Confidence shot at the moment suddenly . need a win desperately, especially through this run of games.

Still on-board with Potter. Too many bedwetting on hear.

Southampton lost at home today, but it's true they've been very much improved recently.

What we need is to have a similar run of form where it can at least feel like progress is being made. We've had two isolated wins since the start of November, but neither has led to a feeling in the next match that we're in control for long.
