Potter Out

[THUNDERCLINT]

Had enough of this arogrant no mark now.  

11 games, 27% win ratio and 0.66 goals per game.

Either the break clause is true or this flake quits otherwise were proper fucked.

[Ladysmith]

And we're 17th. 23% win ratio and dropping fast.

cսnt is the BIGGEST fraud ever.

He's got to go.

Totally agree mate

[Dick Shaftsbury]

Well played Potter son. Miles ahead of any of our previous managers. 

[ragingbull]

Kudus has played good as you would expect for someone in the shop window.

[LeroysBoots]

Still no Fullkrug, I'm hacked off with thís shite approach. 

[fraser]

Antonio, Fullkrug, Summerville have been out for the whole of his tenure, and Bowen for half of that time. Kudas and Paqueta have gone off the boil. Basically our entire forward line has been injured and those that aren't are shit out of form.



 

Those three that had hardly scored between them before he arrived...or rarely played in Summerville and Fullkrug's case Yeah that will be the reason 

But you expect more goals, without them? When we have fuck-all back up? Make it make sense, Fraser.

No we've scored less had less shots.. I don't expect us to get worse...

I’d hoped that Potter would have made more of an impact on us by now. But let’s be clear, the blame for this garbage season lies with the shit squad left us by both Moyes and Lopetegui, and the idiot who appointed them.
No idea what’s going to happen in the summer re manager or players, but if Potter stays, there’s a big job to do overhauling the squad. Time to judge him for real is once he’s done that, if he gets that far.

Honestly, I’m so bored of us being shit that I’ve lost interest in it.

i really couldn’t give a fuck.

[Manuel]

Anyone who rolls out the old ''what do you expect'' line is a bit of a retard Im afraid.

You know that big thing with a crossbar, two posts and a net?? It's called a goal, and the object of football is to put the fucking ball into it. That's what I'd expect from a PL football side. We're just about the lowest scorers and chance creators in the league since this pansy rocked up.

[fraser]

What does anybody expect 


Surely the first thing and most important thing to expect is for him to get better results than the bloke he replaced, he hasn't, in fact I believe since he arrived we're bottom of the league for shots on goal and chances created... 

I'm not saying I want him sacked but I am saying so far he's done a fucking shit job.. Hopefully in the future it will be better... 




 

[eusebiovic]

He's doing what he can with a disjointed aging squad of players with a lack of pace and mobility. The half decent players have been frequently injured or unfit.

I knew it was going to be a bit drab when he took over but take a long hard look at what he's working with. What does anybody expect? Yes, a fortune was spent in the summer but as usual it was very badly spent.

Hopefully things will look better after the summer. I do think Potts and Earthly might step up but let's see how things go. I haven't written off Luis Guillerme either. 

Our club is badly run on the playing staff side but who's that down to? We all know the answer. It always comes full circle.

[Pshyco scored all 4]

IL judge potter when he has his own players through the door. He  realises the clubs main problem is having 12 players aged over 30 . Until then he deserves patience.

[honky cat]

I think Potter being safe/boring/limp wristed etc etc would buy players that fit into regular  team formations. Not some incomprehensible moyesball system that worked a treat for a season and a half, with a limited pool of suitable players. Or jlop who just spent £40m on the only person in the world that didnt hate him, and his slow spanish mates.

[Manuel]

So what do you suggest we do then? Don't buy anyone?

No, I'm not saying that. Just that there should be a longer term plan in mind. If the board aren't sure who or what type of manager comes in next then they ought to be careful of the players they bring in now, rather than just whoever Potter decides he wants.

Say he wants to spend a lot of money on an attacking left wing back (which he probably will) and say he picks one who's great for that role but would be completely useless as a full back or inverted winger under most managers, then that signing will be yet another albatross who'll be sat on the bench on big wages or sold for half his value.

Of course, the same sort of thing is true of every manager, but especially so if the manager wants to play an unusual formation or has a "unique" style of play. And it's even more true if the manager will almost certainly be sacked next autumn/winter unless things change massively from what we've seen so far under him.

Fair points. Based on nothing more than gut feeling I think we are going to be bringing in some good players this summer and getting rid of a lot of dross including the dad's army who are out of contract. Mildly optimistic we are going to have a much better side come August. I've knocked Potter myself and haven't been that impressed, like most, but at the same time don't think he's a total charlatan and happy to see what he comes up with.

[Keep dreaming]

I'm confident that Potter will take up a notch from what we have endures the last 5 years.
I'm also confident he will contribute to bring in players with a general higher standard that what we have brought in lately.

ATS always a gamble with managers and players, but what is the alternative to stick and give him some time to give it a go? Something in between will always be a fuck up!

This whole thing about "give him time" and "bring in the players he wants" is all very well, but if he brings in a bunch of players who fit in his preferred formation and style what happens when he inevitably gets the sack?

His preferred setup is the 343 box, which means attacking wingbacks/wingers playing on their "normal" side, 2 CDMs and 2 CAMs. There'll be no place for inverted wingers like Bowen so he'll probably carry on his dismal form under Potter if he's not sold.

This is all fine if there's a succession plan in place where the next manager will play a similar setup (eg Amorim) but does anyone really believe that's the case? More likely we'll end up with a manager who favours the much more typical 4231/433 and then we'll have another big squad rebuild on our hands.

 

 

There would be a plan but unfortunately it’s the same one Sullivan always goes for, an out of work manager on the cheap who once managed a big club. That’s all he cares about.
Also not helped by a fan base that are in complete denial about how bad Potter really is, and want to give him as much time as possible not because they truly believe in him but because they don’t want us to come across as a joke club who keeps sacking managers, when in reality we are a joke club cos we’re run so badly that all of this could of been avoided twice if the cսnt in charge would just pay to release one of the several great managers who currently work in the premier league at clubs that aren’t any bigger than West Ham and we could realistically get.

His comment today that Fullkrug will be assessed, fuck off you miserable twat. He is again setting us up to play a containing game with no focal point in attack. I'm sick to death of him wedging people in positions alien to them 

Yep, he has been saying this same thing in his pre match pressers for weeks now, about Ferguson too. I'm beginning to really dislike this limp wristed cսnt. You can just imagine him going home after training and doing the washing up and peeling the potato's.

While his missus is upstairs getting reamed by Todd Boehly and Karen Brady is pegging him.
