    Very random I know!

    Just looking on player transfermarkt.com and came across Brad Potts.

    Apparently he can play right back?

    Sorry to waste your time :)

    Just been looking at YouTube videos of him playing for Blackpool.. half decent player.

    Although I have been his biggest critic this season

    I'm almost certain he played at full back in the league 2 play off final last season for Blackpool.

    I think he's a half decent player who will only get better. He's been inconsistent this season but which of our players hasn't however I really think he brings something to the team (from the centre, not the wing).

    One of my favourites puts the effort in and ops up with a goal occasionally.

    I like him, and i think we generally look better with him in the side. (Not on the wing) lots of room for improvement, but that goes for everyone.

    I think he's decent just very frustrating.... I wish he would look up and see what's happening around him and play the ball at the right time. Sometimes he holds the ball to long or plays a pass without looking and it goes to the opposition.

    Next season I think we will see the best of him....

    I like him (not on the wing though) puts effort in likes to get the ball and himself forward. And as already said pop's up with a goal now and again too.

    The only one of our midfield to get in the box regularly. Should score a few next season.

    Bang average. If he looks good the rest must be terrible

    I remember Hourihane, Scowen and Watkins being classed as useless in their first season for us......

    Time will tell, but it takes time to settle and get used to the step-up in division. I think he’s decent, and next season, regardless of division, he’ll be a key player for us.

    Just frustrated me when it looks like he's running in slow motion

    Some folk look like this. Probably because of his build - he’s fairly well built.

    I think if Williams Gardner Potts and moncur (all our 1st team central midfielders) had a race Potts would win. Seen him make them runs into the box from midfield at pace and get on end of them balls like Friday and against Preston earlier in the season.

    They are. Average in this squad is high praise.

    Probably true, but I sometimes do get the impression he's lazy?

    I don’t think he’s lazy, just seems to be a reactive player so he’s often at a situation too late

    He read the situation well on Saturday of course

    In the middle, I like him. A bit of a presence in there and his late runs into the box is one of his best abilities. I can’t think of any of other we have that does it.

    If we’re still in the championship next season I think we’ll see him slightly improved but if we’re league 1, I think he’ll be a really big player for us and get a decent amount of goals.

    Probably because he has a long stride .
