Brighton manager Graham Potter disappointed by booing fans

Potter’s side dominated the Yorkshire side for the vast majority of the match in the Premier League on Saturday.

Albion were much the better side and arguably deserved to take all three points out of the match, but instead had to settle for a draw due to some poor finishing.

Neal Maupay and Jakub Moder both spurned good chances to win the game, whereas Leandro Trossard and Solly March both hit the woodwork in the match.

After the final whistle, there was confusion from the manager as some of the crowd booed the team and manager despite the level of performance being very high.

After the match, Potter told fans that they are welcome to “have a go at him”, but he would have a problem with those who booed the players after the performance.

He said that he found it hard to understand the reaction looking at the history of the club.

It is only 15 years ago that on November 25 that Albion were playing in League One and had just lost a match 1-0 to Doncaster Rovers, whereas now the club are an established Premier League side.

Since the reaction after Leeds, the manager believes nothing has changed from his position and that there will be some people who won’t be happy.

He said: “Nothing has really changed from my perspective. There are emotions after games, people when they reflect back they might think that they got caught up in stuff.

“The reaction was a bit confusing from my perspective, but it wasn’t all of our supporters, it was just a few of them.

“As disappointing as it, you have to accept it because that’s the world we live in and people are entitled to their opinions.”

Potter has admitted that communication with the club’s fans is vital and that they are the most important part of the club.

The club currently sits 9th in the Premier League after 13 matches having won four, drawn six and lost three matches in the competition.

The manager said: “It’s also important to communicate with supporters, to talk to them, they are the most important people at the club.

“If you think that they can help a little bit, then it’s important to communicate with them, they are so important to us, and just because they are important doesn’t mean they don’t need a little bit of help as well.

“When you look at the team performance, we had a lot of young players, and you look at the performance of the team on the night, you look at where we’re sitting in the Premier League at the moment.

“If we want to achieve what we do in the Premier League, we might have to be a bit more clinical than we were against Leeds.”

Albion have put in similar high-quality performances to the one against Leeds under Potter but have found themselves without the win due to a lack of cutting-edge in front of goal.

The games against Arsenal and Newcastle earlier this season are prime examples of that, if the players can find some more form in front of the goal, then they will continue to climb the table rather than be looking over their shoulders.

Albion will return to action in the Premier League against West Ham United and Potter will have a quick turnaround as the game is only on Wednesday evening.

The Hammers have lost their last two game against Wolves and Manchester City, but still remain a tough opposition and are currently fourth in the table.

Potter is yet to orchestrate a victory against the Hammers since his arrival at Albion, drawing all four games against the Irons.

He will be hoping his players can put an end to the club’s current nine-game winless run.
