I don't get the obsession they have, this is a fanbase that wanted Mourinho gone. I think Potter is decent. He has Brighton playing pretty well at times they just have utter dross up front and seem worse than us for missing chances when on top during a game. I think it would be interesting to see him at a bigger team with better players to see if he can take his career to the next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve dropped the most points from winning positions of any team this season, more than even us. It’s definitely not just strikers that are their problem, they sometimes end the game with 6 or 7 defenders on the pitch but still can’t hold onto a lead. He’s the hipsters favourite, they’re the hipsters favourite team at the moment, they play ‘such great football’ but don’t score goals and don’t win many games, and haven’t done for two seasons now.

Trossard, Webster and Maupay cost over £60mil combined, former England internationals Welbeck and Lallana, Ben White who’s been touted at over £30mil and Lamptey (albeit injured a lot) who’s been linked to Bayern Munich, as well as numerous other internationals in their squad.

Boring old clunker Chris Hughton secured 9 wins in his two seasons finishing 15th and 17th. Revolutionary, progressive, breath of fresh air, bright young manager Graham Potter has achieved 9 wins in his two seasons finishing 15th aaaand maybe 16th or 17th. With more money than Hughton had. Fair enough if he beats Arsenal on Sunday thats ten wins so I will take it all back and have to admit he is an absolutely breathtakingly fantastic manager after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know a few who went, £60 is a joke (club tried to justify it offering them some free food), at the end they said stay in your seats for lap of honour , then players didn't bother coming out and after 30 mins announcement said they should leave , booing their team off, skirmishes with the stewards, all in all a great night back 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 22 May, 2021 Share Posted 22 May, 2021 (edited) Be interesting to see what the referee does about that Skate Begovic. He’s on a yellow and he’s already taking an absolute age to take goal kicks. I doubt the ref will have the balls to give him a second yellow having already given a pen and red card against Boscombe, but surely he can’t over look the blatant time wasting they’ve been indulging in since about the 20th minute Edited 22 May, 2021 by Lord Duckhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not logical The other three have deeper squads and more resources behind them. Swansea and Bournemouth have built that up from recent time in the top league and Brentford have had a sustained period as a top Championship team. This season has been a sudden upturn in fortunes for Barnsley and they still have a lot of lower Championship elements to their setup.

saint1977 Posted 22 May, 2021 Share Posted 22 May, 2021 Toney does have very good positioning but has missed some genuine chances today not least the header 10 minutes ago. I know he scored the penalty but not sure how many he would score in the PL where chances at a premium. Woodgate has gone too negative too early, Brentford for all that pressure haven’t worked Begovic. And Brentford score. Desperate stuff when you rely on Shane Long to get you back into it.
