Understandable. If I’d been part of a team that had been flying for 20 or so games (including wins away to Arsenal and Spurs and smashing United 4-0) I’d DESPISE my manager too.

And I expect all those dismissing him as a candidate haven’t watched them either (and know nothing about him).

My point was obvious and was nothing to do with who is the better manager.

Yet you’ve quoted and attributed the whole of 22/23 to RDZ when Potter was responsible for 4 wins and 13 points of the total (in just 6 games played). And you’ve just accused someone of “manipulating the stats”. Anyone can quote stats, but ensuring they’re accurate and not misleading requires...

Was just interested in the reactions when Potter left and yours jumped out as I’d just come from this thread. Apologies but it tickled me. Expected to find a lot of people saying “good riddance he was shit and all he did was go on bad runs” but surprisingly didn’t see much of that at all.

Talking of revisionist, I’ve just read a post by you when he left for Chelsea calling him a “great coach” 😂

I’ve never said I want him back although it would be very amusing to see the reaction of some. All these “bad run” arguments are a load of bollocks anyway. The facts are he took over when we were on the verge of relegation and left us in 4th place playing brilliant football. All managers and...

I’m not really sure what point you’re trying to make ? I think everyone is agreement with that.

That describes half the season!

and both first choice centre backs out injured (Dunk/Webster). Awful result but Luton this season was an even worse performance

Potter's bad runs were not as bad as the last few months of this season under RDZ where we were genuinely shocking in most games, even though we picked up a couple of scrappy wins. Performances in the Potter bad runs were generally good and at least we created multiple chances to hit the...

We didn't average scoring 2 a game but xG was quite close to 2 which shows we created lots of good chances. I posted the below copy and paste as a reply on the McKenna thread but is far more relevant here: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The link below...

Are you more of a "just get it forward and stick it in the mixer" kind of man?

Yeah similar top level metrics although plenty of other variables that come in to play e.g. how had other teams improved/played that season. If our finishing hadn't been so awful then we'd have picked up a lot more points and been having a different conversation. The chances were there. The...

Completely agree with nearly all of that although he did pretty much change things "overnight". We went from 90 mins of defending just trying not to lose to bringing on 2 strikers when winning 1-0 away to Watford in his first game (ended up 3-0 and both strikers subbed on scored.) He seems to...

But surely what Potter did in those first 2 seasons was "par" for us considering our budget/wages compared to the rest of the division. Was the expectation really for him to do any better than he did? TB would have sacked him otherwise. Surely the aim was still initially to survive but with an...

They went downhill quite a while before he was sacked. From: https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rise-fall-leeds-united-bielsa-great-entertainers-crumbled-premier-league-relegation/blt1c9a087011f37725#csc36001c766ca5886

Didn’t realise we were discussing Dunk. His overall game is/has been far more consistent.

Not to the levels that Webster does. A lot of his mistakes aren’t risky or difficult passes, he just has a brain fart regularly.
