Potter believes in improving the existing squad rather than making drastic changes. He acknowledges past issues within the team that contributed to high goal concessions and emphasizes ongoing work to enhance the team's culture during the pre-season. The focus will remain on personal player development as they prepare for the new Premier League season against Sunderland, who are returning to the league after several years away.
"The coach's job is to build something; you've got to try and improve your team, improve the club, improve the players. That's the trick."
"I don't think we needed drastic change. It's tempting to think that the solution is going to be external but, from my perspective, the focus should always be on the players you have - with an eye on improving."
