Brighton have spent £240m NET since 2015. No way on earth.
We're the Arthur over ere! |

It's just some accidents that they drew some matches in which they dominated heavily and only took 1 point from them instead of 3. Normally, they should have had 6-8 more ppints. Meanwhile we were vwry lucky to get some 1-0 wins when we shouldn't have and normally would have had less points. Some things are just accidents. In the long term, having a team that creates 10-15 chances per game is the guarantee of success. Being spent 240 million because they came from the Championship and had a s*** squad that they needed to change. He didn't bring any players that we couldn't have brought. But they can pass a ball and they work tactics and attacks. It doesn’t work Matteo and that is a fact staring at you when you look at the league table. They came very close to being relegated last season and will come very close again this season. Do you think that’s the sign of a great coach? He is not a great coach because his team knows how to pass the ball. They have no idea what to do in the final 3rd and that’s his fault. The same thing happens to him every week, they have won 2 home games in 2 years and he still sticks to the same rubbish. He is naive and deluded.

And even if we were to in the future, I’d rather it be under a manager who’d get us pushing for Europe as opposed to fighting for survival. Despite the garbage you often hear from Palace fans, going down is actually really not worth it.

Very very few. Can only remember Guiata making 1 save. Tippy Tappy football may look pretty but gets to nowhere. Potter has his philosophy, fair enough, but should also be able to change when required. A good coach but nowhere near a great one. I am not happy the way we play but if it is just biding our time until squad overhaul I’m fine with it.

But they can pass a ball and they work tactics and attacks. It's not '' accidents '' - it's a recurring theme. The Pundits were purring over their brand of football to begin with. Now they are asking questions as to how effective it really is if they can't put the ball in the net enough. I know a number of their fans that would be quite happy to see Potter go.

I wouldn't like Potter. His teams lack spine and steel. Plus we already have a hard time scoring, no point in playing slightly better and still not scoring. Genuinely think Potter needs a season or two lower down - which he might even get next season. We can but dream!
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

To all those who quote FFP as the reason for us not spending take note of this figure.

Genuinely think Potter needs a season or two lower down - which he might even get next season. Potter’s season with Swansea saw them in 10th with one of the lowest goals scored in the top half of the Championship. Brighton have never really been clear of relegation trouble in nearly 2 seasons under him and have had continual issues with turning possession & “chances” domination (against everyone, even if the two games v us have been extreme examples) into goals & wins. There comes a point at which he needs to look at his “process” and change elements of it. There are clearly a lot of things that his teams do well but he doesn’t seem to address glaring weaknesses which have been weaknesses for a long time. It also calls mattteo's (& others), "keep doing what your doing and the goals/ wins will come" view into question. He may not need to completely change his approach but it looks like he could definitely do with tweaking it.

You seriously think our playing staff are capable of the type of football Brighton play? I appreciate we have a number of contracts up at the end of the season but we would need pretty much a whole new team - except for the strikers ( as generally they don’t score). Edited by Bexley Eagle (23 Feb 2021 5.31am) You can play cross passes all day but the stat that counts are goals scored and over this season Brighton are woefully short of our standards (don't wiki it) a glance at the league table will do.
