Brad Potts.

[JK]

To a man tonight we where excellent and fully deserved the win.

I just want to say a word though about Brad Potts. For me he has been one of the best January signings we have made for years.

He may have had a quieter second half but in the first he was superb again. Always looks a goal threat, his effort against the bar would have been a worldly.

Most importantly though he is allowing Alan Browne to show what a talented lad he is too. Both work their backsides off but Potts is just giving that extra bit of know how to make a difference.

Delighted that we pursued him and looks a snip at what we have paid for him.

 

[Dick Dastardly]

To me he’s a Rolls Royce of a player, who purrs along doing things easily and can find an extra gear whenever necessary.

First half I thought Potts was our best player. He was absolutely everywhere and his movement off the ball is fantastic. Brilliant signing.

 

[Former Member]

Technically he isn't great but my god he's got some legs. Can run for days, decent pace, and good height for set pieces.

Can also hit a shot. Great signing.

 

[StevieB]

Unbelievable strike that hit the cross bar, live it looked awesome but looked even better on the footie show later. Agree entirely JK, what a signing!!

 

[BPIG]

Fantastic signing, not sure how he missed that chance near the end though. It deserved a goal for Nmecha absolutely destroying Ben Godfrey about 18 times.

 

[paddysr]

Cracking signing and looks like he has been playing with us for years.

 

[Spavin Stardust]

He has done very well so far. But I think he can improve, AN improved Browne and given time I think he can make Potts a better footballer.

 

[Pennyhome]

First time in a while we’ve bought a player ready made for the championship rather than someone from the lower leagues who need to find their feet with us, missed a sittter to be fair but the bar is probably still shaking from that venomous strike

That's one of the great things about AN and the talented young players we now have. The prospects are exciting aren't they.

Great that he's such a positive attack minded player looking to get into good scoring positions and getting plenty of excellent shots away. Great start to his PNE career.

 

[Pilot]

He’s got a great football brain, always able to find space, and a great work ethic

 

[royribble]

Just home from the game and I agree with all the above. What a fantastic performance.

 

[pnefc ok]

He is the complete midfield player for me, strong, energetic and has the final product, he will score and find a killer pass.

 

[Onedevilsst]

He’s fitted in brilliantly, thought he and Barky played really well together, always thinking bout going forward, too.

Looks like a good signing.

 

[Waddie]

Some off his moves tonight just reminded me of Adam Reach!

 

[Preston Lad]

I like him.

Think he should have scored the chance N’mecha put on a plate for him though.

 

[Bing]

Could not agree more, JK. Potts has been an absolute revelation.

He's got the lot. Hell of a signing. Can see why we paid so much.

 

[kbd_pne]

This is what happens when you actually back your good young manager with experience of promotion at this level to bring in players for a bit more money than we usually pay, who have a bit of previous experience at the level.

You get quality.

Potts is basically perfect for our system.

 

[Jack Daniels]

To be honest, I thought we had paid over the odds for him the day we signed him but fair play to the lad, he has shoved my doubts about the fee (not him as he obviously had talent at Blackpoo where he stood out) back down my throat. I dare say that even though it was an expensive purchase by our standards, we have got him at a snip based upon the performances so far.

Let hope that Hemmings sees that paying a little bit extra every now and then, rather than a cheap punt every time (Doyle, Pringle, Boyle, Burke, etc), gets you a far far better reward and dividend.
