My mate who is a Blues fan went Monday with another mate of his who is an Albion fan.
He tends to go to 2 or 3 aways and 2 or 3 home Albion games a season as he has a soft spot for us, his mate goes to most away games.
I spoke to him Tuesday and he said the atmosphere created by the Albion fans during the game was brilliant, he said he really enjoyed it, what he was shocked about was the ill feeling before and after the game towards Pulis.
I have told him previously i like Pulis and think if he just lets the handbrake off he will win over a lot of fans but even he was shocked at how negative the fans seem to be towards him, he said fair play though it was put to one side during the game.
He also couldnt believe why we didnt go in for the kill against Leicester after going a goal up, he said you could sense the whole ground knew they were there for the taking, and i pointed out that exact reason why a lot of fans are negative towards Pulis, just always feel we are holding back when we dont need to.
Personally i think a few tweaks with a more positive approach and i think opinion will change a lot on Pulis, he has done a good job so far in that he has steadied us, brought in some very good footballers, reduced the age of the squad and i just think if he allows us to be more positive, i think we will still get similar points totals (hopefully increasing gradually each year) but the way we get them will in itself create a more positive feeling which will hopefully increase numbers of support both home and away.
I really dont think we are far away from been an exciting team to watch with the players Pulis has signed.
