WTF does that exactly prove though?

Faith is a strong word. Can only judge him on decisions and results as time goes on.

Don't agree that he's been handed a League One/Two squad to work miracles with or anything like that.

Another baffling statement. Just because we pass it along the back five and centre midfielders it does not make our football 'free flowing'. As soon as we get to their lines of midfield and defence panic ensues, someone lumps it down the wing for someone to chase and we hope for the best.

What a fantastic win that was for you last night, Byron. You should be very proud of your team's performance.


Yep sure was, battlers all over the pitch, 3 home games we have gone behind, then won. Every club must be rooting for us to succeed in the lower leagues, is the dream of staying up with limited finances still possible?

It will be a remarkable achievement if you stay up. I haven't visited your forum but I highly doubt your fan base are as small minded as many of ours.

Many on here are content with finishing mid table despite this being the best chance we'll ever have of going back up. Warnock got a far inferior squad promoted automatically last season.

Of course I'm not expecting that, but the current displays are woeful and deserve no defence.

Yes what a load of bollox they were not pretty on the eye and bullied there way to promotion.
But to say they had an inferior squad to ours which is jam packed full of untried youngsters is stupid.

Jam packed full of untried youngsters?

Bullied our way? Keep hearing that but the fair play figures show otherwise. Weplayed some decent stuff but never get credit due to media bs about Warnock.

Inferior squad? You're comparing us last season to you now having been relegated. It's a fairer comparison to make comparing our squad going up against yours going up - you probably just about had the better squad given you actually had strikers.

Potter desperately needs a creative playmaker. The wingers aren’t doing it, Celina certainly isn’t doing it. We are currently 20th in the league for ‘chance conversion’, and 15th in the league for shots on goal. We didn’t do it well last season and it was an obvious issue that needed fixing in the summer, it wasn’t. Who’s in charge of attacking coaching?

Yes definitely need that - BC/LF/MG/WR could do that.

Also definitely need the spine fixed, the core has wobbled. In fact the core hasn't been core so far.

Appreciate GP's fluid principles and would appreciate them more if we had the solid spine. I would like to see an Ash-type as captain, bossing the GK/CDM. Build some solid foundations to grow upon

Your statement is a total contradiiction.
We are currently 20th in chance conversion, so that means that we are creating chances.
We do not have the strikers that can convert them, well we have one more but he hasn't had a game since he scored.

How long before the players tire of being Booed off the pitch?
Or did I hear that wrong about Wednesday?


I was there and I didn't hear any boos. If that was the case then the culprits should be ashamed of themselves and not come back. W@nkers.

Fair enough, but I think our team last year was far better than what you have now. Warnock knows better than anyone out there what it takes to build a team to get out if that league, we had leaders all over the pitch, like Bamba, Morrison, manga, gunners, Patterson, not to mention a bit of pace with Mendez and junior. We didn’t foul our way to promotion either, far from it. I don’t really see any leaders/warriors in your team at present.

That doesn’t mean we are creating chances, it means we aren’t taking chances.

We are though, most are falling to Dan, because he is lightning and he times his runs well. Unfortunately that also means there is often no support and he has to shoot. I wouldn’t say Oli or anyone else has had a lot of chances and been particularly wasteful.

Your team last year would have smashed us on set pieces alone.

It’s not good to watch but it’s effective.

We’ll improve, early stages in a big rebuild.

Also deluded. Not our best chance of going back up at all. Best chance will be in a couple of years when we are self sustaining and have players who are playing GP's football with grace and panache

Regarding the original question. Faith in Potter to do what?

Do I have faith in his long term ability to turn us around? Yes

Do I have faith in him getting us promoted? No , nor do I want him to. This squad in the Prem gives me nightmares

Its just a ride.

Hope he gets us through the Jan window.

Bottom 3 in Jan and he is gone.

Four weeka to produce some results.

Mid Table I have faith but no longer top 6.

Fer Carroll Montero Routs Dyer hugely disappointing

Naughton not playing enough

Too confusing at present

We look decidedly average and tactically blunt and recently outplayed by better teams

Bottom three in January wold take some doing, he'd richly deserve the sack if he managed that. Probably have to lose every game.

I can't believe this is even a debate to be honest.

This season is clearly all about rebuilding, learning about his side and developing some youngsters. I don't see the issue with him trying the young players out in slightly different positions - they may be a revelation there.

Short of doing something ridiculous, I'd be amazed if we sacked him within the next 12 months (as amazed as it's possible to be supporting the Swans).

He's made some strange decisions that I have disagreed with (dropping Mulder is probably one of the strangest decisions I've ever seen as a Swans fan) but we need to stick with him for at least the rest of this and next season. He is young, has shown plenty of promise and is doing a decent enough job under difficult circumstances. The side is young, inexperienced at this level and has been thrown together only very recently. The last few games have been disappointing but we have played three of the best sides in the league. I feel our position now probably reflects the sort of squad/circumstances we have.

I personally don't feel many other managers would have done much better with what he's been given and I'm not convinced that Dyer, Routledge or Narsingh would have made any marked difference either. Otherwise, they'd surely be in the side (although I think we can probably all have a fair stab at the real reason Narsingh hasn't featured)

As ever, some of our fans are only seeing things in black and white - at the end of August there were plenty advocating that he should resign because the board had "misled him" (which was ridiculous imo) and now they seem to have changed their view totally (which is equally as ridiculous).

I think we'll stay up easily but I'd be surprised if there's any more talk this season of making the playoffs.
