Graham Potter has a degree in Emotional Intelligence. Seems to complement the way he deals with players staff media and fans. I have noticed that when Russel Martin speaks a lot of the conversation is about 'feelings.' He seems over sensitive to players state of mind. He also quickly makes up his mind about players and rarely changes it. He comes across as a really nice guy in interview but I wonder if this is true with the players. Surely we need a manager with a bit of bite? (I despaired when I saw the manager having a kick about with the boys on the training ground the day before Burnley) When asked easy questions at the press conference he usually takes 5 minutes to answer. This makes me think that he is either not sufficiently confident in his answer or its just plain BS. Every squad player is 'brilliant' or ' developed so much' or 'technically excellent' a ' lovely lad' etc etc The fans are always 'the best' (even when they boo the team?) He admires Jay Fulton for 'coming through a difficult situation last season'. Actually he told Jay he was no longer required and he should look for another team.
If your management style depends on how people are feeling then results will go up and down.
Well today Stephen you got it wrong. Playing with no wingers again. Both Ayew and Celina like to cut inside. No pace out wide. Too narrow. We all know that Celina can't tackle and is best suited to the No 10 role. We all know that Ayew's best position is 10 or possibly 9 Celina had a below par game. Byers had a stinker and could /should have been hooked at half time. Why was Fulton subbed? He was the only man in the mid field who was tackling. We made an average Reading team look like promotion candidates in the second half. Everyone could see a late goal coming.
