The team were booed one game after being cheered out at Old Trafford, those are the facts however you wish to package them.

They were booed because of their performance and effort or lack thereof by most players. The boos had nothing whatsoever to do with Old Trafford. They had everything to do with the same old, same old that we had been watching since halfway through last season. You don't accept that, fine, that suits your agenda. However, that doesn't make it any less the truth.

I was just stating a fact. Like I said, truce with the Potter out people.

Genuine question though - what is it that you think my agenda is? You've mentioned it a couple of times now.

On the green run

: Wed Feb 10, 2010 12:01 pm  
We had a pre/off season?! It just looked to me like the organisation closed down for a snow break, and concentrated on designing some awesome shirts (hmm).

How many of our "first choice" players actually appeared in a preseason game? 3 or 4 was it? How is that ever going to bode well for early season?! And i refuse to accept that fact that a bit of snow destroyed the pre-season plans, as that would be a cop-out.

Never liked Potter, partly because i associate his joining the club, with Perelini leaving. (Pretty sure he brought his own conditioning team with him?).

Since Apollo left, our teams have looked sluggish, part-interested and most of all, lack the motivation of a trophy-challenging team.

I was saying "Potter out!" as a joke for the first half of last season. Then toward the end of it, it wasn't a joke anymore.

And now.... well, what's improved exactly?

They got to Old Trafford because of (a) Longy's defence and (b) Kyle Eastmond's attack. They lost 5 out of their last 8 games last season, so don't make out Old Trafford to be something it wasn't. Without Longy and his two try-saving tackles into touch (one of which he only just about got away with) and Kyle and his attack, Wigan would have been at Old Trafford, not us.


We only made two tackles in the match against Wigan?

:roll:

Had Longy not made those two tackles of which I wrote, Wigan would have won as they were try-saving tackles and he was the only one in place to make such tackles. As you well know. So stop being silly.

Had every other player on the pitch not made the tackles they did Wigan would have scored more points than they did. Long made two important tackles, every other player made important tackles, just not as last ditch as the two Long did. He was in place because the game plan said he should be there to defend, he followed the defensive structure that was in place.

I don't see your point, are you saying Long ignored Potter by covering for the winger to win us that match?

He had to - Potter was using Gardner at prop like on Saturday.

I saw Ade's injury happen. It wasn't an accident; it was a direct result of the tackle. He's not a prop and shouldn't be used as one.


Sorry SaintsFan, couldn't resist. Truce stands :D :thumb:

Not really.

I said that Longy had made two try-saving tackles in that match. You called them last ditch. Either way, we both know that without those two tackles of Longy's it wouldn't have been us going to Old Trafford. You just don't want to admit it. It suits you better to say that those of us complaining about Potter's influence on this team are wrong because we got to Old Trafford. As if that was a huge achievement.

That's your agenda (oh, and Fear the Vee's too, since he asked me about that recently).
