I’m sure I read somewhere he could potentially be the best out of all of the most recent graduates. What’s he like then? Defensive midfielder? |  | | |

He was in my opinion the form player in our u23s in the back end of the 17-18 season, having had to wait a long time to get a proper run of games over expensive Scottish tosh like King and Blair. Think the Wales camp has always thought more of him than the Swans. As big a miss for the u21s as for our u23s (Ash Baker did alright, Regan Poole was a poor alternative).
Defensive midfielder, yes. Reads the game very well, got a defender's brain for filling in spaces and making tackles. Neat and tidy on the ball but has a touch of flair and class about him when needed. Good for a booking a game, loves a cynical challenge to stop play. Not the quickest and not a goalscorer.
Doesn't make many mistakes, and when he did they tended to be significant as he was the anchor holding some very erratic team performances together. Genuinely think he could have established himself already but for his illness. A more natural fit for our midfield structure than Byers appeared to be. | | | |

Sounds like my kind of player Jasper, hope we play him early doors in the friendlies and give him a good run as he will have a head start in the fitness stakes. Chuffed for the lad. |  | | |

I was fuming when Potter didn't take Jack on the preseason tour last year. Hated him ever since. | | | |

I think if people look back (now that the hero worship has worn off) they won't find much fault with the criticisms that led people to cry about an "obvious agenda". I was right on opening day about Asoro, I was right about picking a consistent team, Nordfeldt etc.
Even at the time when pressed many agreed with what I was saying, but simply hated seeing anything negative about our flawless miracle worker who was being forced to toil with inferior, "League Two at best", "not listed on the first team page of the website" tools. More comforting to believe I was a loon with a grudge getting on his back, rather than think about football for a minute. | | | |

The Brighton Chairman/Board had a think about football like yourself and decided to take him into the most expensive league in world football on the back of one season at Championship level with us.
He’s gone now, there’s no longer any need to keep getting your hair off over him. | | | |

What happened last season will be relevant to the club, our players and future managers for years to come, even if it's going to be painful for you to keep hearing about your hero now he's left you. | | | |

Thing is he had a lot to take in and understand in a short time.
Hate is a strong word. |  |

Jack not going on the tour made more sense when you saw why Potter brought Ryan Blair along. Didn't want him to play in midfield, it was part of the left-back cover experiment.
But when Aaron Lewis wasn't being considered for a position he'd played for two seasons, and we started that second hour-long match with a midfield pair of Maric and Routledge (had to reshuffle after half an hour with Blair moving infield and still inevitably struggling), it wasn't a strong start. A lot of groans on here about how poor our squad was at that point. Asoro the only positive note. | | | |

You've always come across as a bit wacky, with your obsession with stats, but wow:
"I was fuming when Potter didn't take Jack on the preseason tour last year. HATED HIM EVER SINCE".
That goes from wacky to scarily weird within four words. | | | |

I never hated him, despite what a group of posters on here believed. My grudge/agenda was entirely in their heads. | | | |

Really? I find him the one of the most knowledgeable football posters on here.
I rarely agree with Jasper on things*, but he's my kind of poster, doesn't swim with the rest of the shoal, he thinks for himself.
*I do agree with him over the ex manager fan boys though. |  |

Huh? Yes i agree with him about fanboys.
What does him bringing Potter into this thread have to do with anything?
Because he doesn't hang on Potters every word, doesn't mean he can't mention him. | |
