Let's make more incredible memories, says Potter

Albion fans enjoy the win over Tottenham earlier this month.

Graham Potter is hoping to give the travelling fans more ‘incredible memories’ as they prepare for their penultimate away game of the season.

Albion have picked up 25 points on their travels this season, a record bettered by only six teams. They have only been beaten four times away from home and in the last month have won at Arsenal and Spurs to add to the eye-catching draws they secured against Liverpool and Chelsea earlier in the campaign.

“I suppose it's probably the best season the fans have ever had away from home following a Brighton side because the memories have been incredible,” he said. “So that's good. We want to try and recreate more of those at home but still it doesn't take away from the fact that the supporters that follow us away and commit a lot of time and a lot of money have had some football memories that will stick with them for the rest of their lives.”

Potter's Wolves press conference

Potter does not think that Albion’s performances have been any better on the road, although he concedes that the margins have favoured his team in away games this season.

“If you look at some of the data behind the away record, it's not too different from the home record. It's just that little things have gone our way away from home. “We’ve got some late goals that have managed to turn the points tally in our favour. I don't think it's so much different but clearly it is because the points have reflected that.”

Albion will have Yves Bissouma back from suspension and Tariq Lamptey available after he missed last Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Southampton against Wolves at Molineux today. “We missed Yves when he was away so it’s nice to have him and Tariq back,” said Potter.
