Chelsea fans poured out of Stamford bridge into the streets of London following Saturday's narrow victory against Leeds United, a group of supporters are still doubting yesterday performance and they could be heard chanting at Potter's win.
It is gallows humour for a club used to challenging towards the top end of the table, but the fact a first goal at home since 15 January was being celebrated in such a manner shows where the Blues are right now.
The win against Leeds was only Chelsea's third in 16 games, and while it will help ease the pressure on boss Graham Potter, it will need to be followed by a big performance against Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League last 16 second leg on Tuesday night to suggest the former Brighton manager has turned a corner.
Potter refused to describe it as a turning point in the post match news conference. He said that one to nill was a his nice three point so far and he went on urging his men to continue fighting as he hopes for the best result on Tuesday against Burusia Dortmund.
"It's a nice three points, an important three points," he said. "It's good for confidence and morale. The boys have been suffering because they care. The supporters have been suffering too.
"The win gives us a chance to recover for a massive game on Tuesday."
Graham Potter signed a five-year deal with Chelsea in September and since then he has only score seven goals in all competitions he has led Chelsea to.
Wesley Fofana's second-half strike against Leeds ended a run of 396 minutes without Chelsea scoring.
They had plenty of chances to add more in a particularly impressive opening 30 minutes as Kai Havertz was denied one on one, Joao Felix hit the bar and Ben Chilwell fired wide when it was easier to score.
When Fofana netted there was an outpouring of relief around Stamford Bridge, which was followed by a sense of frustration as Chelsea failed to build on it and instead found themselves hanging on against a Leeds side who have won away just once this season.
Former Manchester City midfielder Michael Brown said on BBC Radio 5 Live: "It wasn't convincing.
"They have done some good things with tempo but they should have been more clinical."
Although the blues won yesterday but this is not impressive to team fans. They are now saying that one goal is not the potential of the blues and they have stand still that potter must resign. This was witnessed after the game outside the Stamford bridge stadium and along the Fulham road, where a massive group of fans were shouting carrying a billboards with words like '1-0 is not our potential we need goals'.
This can tell that fans are hopping for better performance from the team and they are still giving pressure to the manager of the club.
In reminder; Chelsea are still in position ten with 34 points just 29 points away from Arsenal who are the leading team by now after 26 games. Chelsea will need atleast 8 games out of 13 remaining games to secure playing champions league next season.
