He’s just a good player. He always has been, look at his form when he arrived. He struggled for a period at the start of last season but even then, the criticism he would get for a poor game was way way more than other players would get for a poor game.

The lazy tag thing is a nonsense as well. If he was lazy, Neil wouldn’t have played him in basically all the games against the top opponents last season.

Like Barky, he won’t play any higher due to his first touch and technical deficiencies, but he has the capablilly to be a very effective player at this level. Has good physicality, a powerful shot, makes good runs in behind, gets into good areas in and around the box, has good pace and can run all day. Very handy on the counter too. Also very versatile.

Louder for the people at the back.

Some people just don't see what he brings to the table and he has scored some pretty good goals as well, Stoke Away, QPR Away, Sheff Wed Away all those goals were at important times in each game, Stoke and Sheff he calmy wrapped up the 3 points late on with good runs and finishes, thats very important sometimes.
 
I think he's been ok since he signed but Potts is one who needs a run of games and then seems to get better and better as he plays regularly.
He is not a horses for courses player who can play occasionally depending on circumstances.
He is a Player who you need to intigrate week in and week out to get the best out of him.

What makes you think that about Potts in particular?
 
I remember he said last season that his favoured position was in the centre. He’s a great player for AN’s usual system with the ground he covers and occasional goal threat. Think he was below par for the early to middle part of last season due to taking time to get over an injury.

I think he's a steady type of Player (if you will) rather than a particularly flair type who can flit in and out if and when needed.
He needs fitness and regular games and to be a regular fixture.
In my opinion he seems to become more influential and positive in his decision making and runs when he feels confident of his position in the Team.

But his best performance of the year came after being on the bench beforehand? Where's the logic coming from?

The problem Potts has is that we have about 10 midfielders and 9 of them want to play the 10 role.

This to me shows how poor our recruitment is, whoever it is that does it.
 
Non existent first half but so was Sinclair. We weren’t creating anything because of Riis being permanently offside

Second half link up with Molumby Sinclair and Riis was brilliant, and great to watch at times

Should’ve buried his chance though
 
I've always liked Potts as a player, even before he joined us. Always looked like a big, bustling player with plenty of heart when I saw him for Barnsley.

Don't get the scathing criticism of him at all. He has bad games like the rest of them but usually makes up for it. Also, looking at the highlights, I could have sworn from the comments on the match day thread he'd missed an open net from a yard out! It's a bad miss but it's also a little unlucky. Keeper's pretty close to him.
 
Still tarnished with t@nger!ne in my eyes.

Needs a haircut as he currently looks like a bassplayer from an 80s cock rock band.

Needs to use his physicality more, he's not that far away from Gregan, stature wise, so needs to get oppo players bouncing off him.

But I am starting to warm up to him - promise!
 
Still only useful for half the games a season as seems to thrive off playing away absolutely shite at home, it's weird
 
I reckon Neil must love Brad Potts. Comes in and does exactly what is asked of him almost every time he plays.

Not the most technically gifted player, but his movement and ball carrying are always excellent. Usually fancy him to get a goal too; a bit unlucky with his finish against the post and a good save by Etheridge.

Bright spot in a particularly shite game of football
