Ha ha, awesome. I knew one day you'd all start to make threads about me. This thread doesn't even mention me at all, you just seem to be wanting to name things after me.

Oh go on then, if you all insist, they can name a stand after me at the new ground.

I'm not into either needlessly criticising a coach or blindly following him, so I'll criticise when I think it's due and praise when I think it's due. I have two criticisms of Potter last night: he chose/allowed Wellens to kick in the first place, based upon one week of practising (as he said on the red button show). We had a very strong wind out last night and it was a pressurised game. One week is not preparation enough. Secondly, if what I'm told is right and Lomax can kick, instead of taking Cunningham off (who should never have played) and putting Lomax on so he could take the pressure off Wellens after he had missed a few, Potter instead said he thought Wellens would 'eventually get one over'. Oh, and a third criticism is that he didn't protect Wellens to the Sky boys but instead gave the impression of protecting his own back, not the first time he's come across like that either.

Well(o) said!

Kear has earned respect from me by defending Wello.
Contrary to Potter's half hearted effort to Sky, Kear went to Wello after the game and gave him his comiserations.
