Worth pointing out that Potter and whoever is in recruitment has had one summer window and pre-season, and Farke has had two.
Our team is made up of players signed in both windows, with a few kids thrown in.
And some of the players to make a big impact this season took a long time to find their feet last season. The best example being Mario Vrancic who had good pedigree in Germany (the only one who actually came from the top tier there, albiet from a relegated team).
He looked piss poor at first, I wrote him off as being lightweight and one paced and not suited to this league. Towards the end of last season he started to show flashes of brilliance, and clearly had a football brain.
In January this season he was the Championship player of the month.
Too many sides constantly chopping and changing managers and not allowing coaches to develop players that the club already has etc.
I mean... if you are hunting for bargains overseas you have to expect that sometimes players will take to the league and new systems like a duck to water (like Pukki) and other times they need six months to start looking competent (like Vrancic).
Zimmermann was decent enough last season, but is probably a contender for team of the season at the back this season.... what do you expect when he's come from the German fourth tier?
And you'll have a mismatch of players who really want to be at your club, presumably including Potter signings, and players who deep down think you are cramping their style (Leroy Fer is probably on the phone to his agent twice a week, judging by his history).
Get to the summer and let Potter work on finishing building a Potter squad, and then judge him on results next season.
Even when your recruitment is bang on it takes time to work on getting players used to a system etc... pretty sure Farke has had to work on the work rate and stamina of a few of them to get them effective in a system where we constantly press. Pretty sure he bombed a few out for not being willing to work hard enough too (Oliveira and Josh Murphy the two obvious one).
But you can't change things overnight can you.... Don't think its any coincidence that Bristol City and Sheffield United are in promotion contention with managers who have been at their clubs for 3 or 4 years.
At very least a manager needs two summers for a rebuild. [Post edited 10 Mar 2019 13:26]

There's some on here who are beside themselves that we haven't won the league already. Came along in recent years, spoilt by our success and now can't deal with it. |  |

Great review I like Graham Potter and he has not had a chance to build his own team.
After all I think we gave a good account of our selves on Friday evening unlucky not to get a point out the match |  | | |
