#PLStories- #GrahamPotter pleased with Albion’s progress on the pitch #BHAFC

Graham Potter is pleased with the progress Albion have made as he celebrates two years in charge of the club. The Seagulls had just survived the drop in the Prem under previous manager Chris Hughton, when Potter took charge on May 20, 2019. Since coming in the 46-year-old has guided them to two consecutive 41-point finishes, with a game still to go in this campaign. This season they secured their safety in record time with three games to spare, meaning they can look forward to a record five successive season in the top flight. As Potter prepares for his side for their final game of the season against Arsenal, he believes they have made good progress. He said: “Sometimes it’s hard to reflect back when you’re in the middle of games, but when I do reflect back and think where the club was two years ago on the pitch, I am really pleased. “It’s difficult to come in and change things around in the Premier League because results are hard to get and if you don’t get them, then you can be thrown off course. “We’ve managed to stay relatively ok. We’ve had two lots of 41 points and this time round we’ve got a game to try and beat it. That’s really positive, the performance of the team has improved a lot. “The thing we need to try and get better is the points to match our performances. That’s football and the margins are quite small, especially at this level. “But I look at the individuals we’ve introduced, some younger players and academy players that gives us a chance going forward.” Potter also picked out the highlight of his tenure so far. He said: "It’s hard to look past Tuesday night to be honest. "The Arsenal game – the first one after lockdown, was really important. "But when there are no supporters it maybe isn’t the same. "The fact that the crowd were in for Manchester City was amazing. "There were 8000 people that were committed to the game, happy to be there watching live football, supporting the team, appreciating the quality on the pitch. "To get the win in that way, it was a fantastic evening. I can’t look too far past that.
