Exactly. If anything, it's vice versa.

Amazing how many of their fans can think things will get better now. Promoted, kept in the Premier League for 2 seasons, reached FA Cup semis...a long way down from there...

I haven’t read a lot of comments but fair play there is a lot of fans from other clubs on there sticking up for him, saying there’s only so much he could do with the tactics he has been made to play in. One guy said that you could see he was a decent player in the Man City game.

Brighton Fans on r/soccer seem much more level headed than the ones on Northstandchat.

It’s nice to see fans of AZ and NEC stick up for him and say to give him time by saying he is a good player and also a very humble man. There is a lot of Ajax and PSV fans on their as well who would love to see him at their club.

I know the conspiracy theorists here who think JB isn’t liked or accepted by his team mates who deliberately don’t look to pass to him won’t agree with me here

but Brighton is a club where JB can excel I firmly believe in that.

2 things held him back this year:

1. Chris Hughton’s style
2. Injury, adapting to the speed and physicality of the prem

Now that both of those things are gone, in a club that has been very good to JB and with him feeling at home there, I will have every reason to be optimistic about his future ESPECIALLY if Potter becomes the new manager. That would be a dream come true honestly

Swansea have turned down an approach from Brighton for Potter , I think he will go still though

I was definitely pleasantly surprised by how understanding so many other fans, particularly neutrals, are with that situation. Anyone who watched a Brighton game here and there knows about the 10-0-1 and the Eredivisie fans all vouched for how quality he was; even an Ajax fan said how impressed he was.

If you listen to the "totally Football Show" podcast, Michael Cox defended Jahanbakhsh as well, saying he hasn't had great form because he;s basically playing in Brighton's 1/3rd for the most part.
