Proud-Blue Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I think there is zero chance that they're going to get rid of Potter. But there is no excuse for this. The tactics were wrong, the lineup was wrong, the changes almost made us worse. Players were clearly unprepared for this. It doesn't exonerate the players... but it's painfully obvious that Potter is out of his depth at this club. Also, if he says anything about the lads giving everything against a difficult opponent or being unfortunate I'm going to scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Only thing that might save Potter is his ridiculously long contract and the fact that this season is a dead loss anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Potter has to go. He is potentially doing serious damage to what is a huge overhaul of our club and if we're not careful, he's going to really set us back. I hate to say it about a Chelsea manager, but I just want him gone now. I don't even know what I watched today, I have no idea what the plan was, it just felt like he put 11 men out on the pitch and hoped it would work. Really really poor and just no excuses anymore. Every time the camera focused in on Potter he just looked like he genuinely didn't know what was happening or what to do, no direction, no adapting to the situation and just seemingly hoping something changed. Most important thing though, is how Azpi is doing, hope he's ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there is a break clause of some sort. These guys are in relegation form. I can't wait to hear his press conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 If they don't sack Potter, I think the atmosphere at our games could start getting toxic quite quickly, which is not going to be good for anyone. Sometimes, you just have to accept you made the wrong decision and for the owners this is now one of those times. Also, agree with those that have said on here how poor the players are and that shouldn't get forgotten, absolutely nobody put in a good performance today, embarrassing.

Bob Singleton Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Hoping we get one of these very soon. Was willing to give him time, but not any more. Honestly can't see any positives in spite of the Dortmund performance. That was quite obviously a "blip". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought on 6 subs and switched formation too! Things aren't right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 23 goals from 23 games and we've not scored in 4 of the last 5 games. You would be annoyed if you were a fan of the team at the bottom and they were your stats. Shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't go after this, then he won't go this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kelly Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 If any journalist is worth their salt the first question they'll ask is , if your side Potter is absolutely, irrefutably dreadful without Reece James , why , did you chose to rest him , why? He's a clown , get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago97 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Didn’t see the game. Massive step backwards after some recent progress. You just can’t be losing games like this without scoring again. No idea where we go from here. Utterly depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevelourfog Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Honestly guts me that we got rid of the man who made us World Champions and held us together, almost single-handedly it seemed in public, during our most tumultuous period this century for this. Forget that we lost, almost doesn't matter at this point in the season given how little is at stake, just the performance alone is what we should worry about. I have no idea what is happening at Cobham and I don't think any of the players do. We're just waiting now. We aren't ever going to be a decent side under Potter and it really just is a question of when the ownership recognise that and feel politically able to do something about it. Meant to say, very noticeable at the game that the crowd has turned on Potter. And even before the goal.

chara Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Has any coach/manager anywhere survived such a terrible run of results ? As an OG I can just about remember SAF having a rocky start at manure but this is beyond a rockky start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDCW Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Traditionally you need to get to 40 points to avoid relegation. We currently have 31 after 23 games. it's difficult to see where our next point is coming from, let alone the acquisition of the necessary 9 points in 15 games. We really have to get rid of this toxic, effete, weak management team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago97 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This result has to test the ownerships resolve. It’s all fine and well them briefing people about it’s a long term project. Those comments hinge on indifferent results of say 4pts every 3 games or something similar, which we all know the squad is more than capable of doing. It’s difficult to stand behind comments like that when the management and squad are not picking up some wins along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east lower Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Tick, tock………………………….and the alarm ⏰ has just gone off. One of the most abysmal performances I’ve seen at the Bridge. There is no way back now, line-ups leaked and now the team he picks doesn’t show up. Pityful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTG Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) There is no point crying over spilt milk Team GP are here until the exit from the CL at the earliest. SSDD i would take TFSW as interim to stable the ship until the end of the season or Poch on 18 months to get is back into the CL spots.
