I notice TP has started calling us "The Albion " instead of "Albion " as he was when he first arrived in his after match work , not daft is he ?

For the remainder of this season playing style goes out the window, we have to stay up by any means possible. I will judge Pulisâ€™s â€˜styleâ€™ next season when he has had a summer to shape the squad, however Iâ€™m slightly perplexed at those who suggest that this was some sort of champagne performance, the first half was pretty dismal, we improved in the second as we did on Sunday.

Cracking result.

Compared to what we've had to sut through since last August I thought I was watching Barcelona last night.

The 1,2 passes between Brown and Saido was nice to watch

? At half time I was pleased as we had controlled a team that have previously out footballed us on our home patch (as well as theirs) and had the game won at half time numerous times.

I see Pulis yelling at Mozza and McManaman to get forward with the ball and really drives the players forward.

This performance gives us hope - determination, discipline and forward thinking - results are all that matter until May, I came away last night feeling pretty good about us staying up.

I can't believe some peoples prejudice against Pulis. The play last night didn't fit the perceived stereotype that some people have so now we have to judge him next year when he might play that way. Ok lets swap Pulis for Lambert he plays a passing game and not hoofball. Oh yes and give them Fletcher as well because he doesn't fit the Pulis stereotype either.

Really like the guy, players always respect him. He is so full of energy during games, it's great to see an Albion manager get the team going and not just stand on the sidelines looking clueless

I'd like to see more of what we saw in the second half. A bit of intent, good movement and the ball played along the floor.

If Pulis manages that then I'm sure we will all be happy.

For the guys who want to see what it will be like next season. Palace uploaded a 7 minute video of a TP pre season. Emphasis on discipline, strength and direct play:

I can understand the concerns about Pulis. His record on paper here is good and that is what the London media look at as we know historically they have little clue about what is actually going on at our club. Prior to last night, our performances have been poor (and sometimes abject) against some weak and out of form teams. The only decent team we have played gave us a good hiding. Last night was a good performance but also against a team who has just sold their best player and had their most creative player serving the last game of a suspension. It could be suggested that Pulis' hand was forced to put the team out that he did with the injury to Anichebe and having let go any other options.
However, last night was encouraging, and hopefully he will recognise showing some attacking intent is not a bad thing and at the end of the day if Pulis gets it right then West Brom get it right.

We've needed a Proper manager since Hodgson left, someone who has a bit of experience/nous when it comes to setting a team up to play against various opposition/players , not just a coach or a 2nd in command with potential . were not always going to end up winning , but I feel were in with more of a shout now , things might just be starting to click .

Pulis is God, keeps us up he should get manager of the season(again) and a slice of the new pie

I hope the Swansea game was more of a 'prototype' of things to come and he doesn't revert to type for the West Ham game, I think that team would have the beating of the 'ammers, no Fletcher of course but perhaps Mulumbu could be fit and ready for that game or maybe...dare I say it again....Gamboa in the midfield.

I see the Daily Express are reporting that the Vile have made enquires about his availability and any release clause.......

How's about F**K OFF !!!

No surprise there, he's the ideal man for the job.

Doubt this is true, if it is what is it about those arrogant pricks from Witton taking local managers.

He ain't going to Villa....

Why would you? They're in disarray on and off the pitch with an owner who wants money back not put money in..

baggie38 · « **Reply #944 on:** February 14, 2015, 08:59:10 AM »

He is seven weeks into a two and a half year deal with us. One of the worst newspaper rumours I have ever read. I notice not even the sun or the mirror have run this terrible story.

Like it or not, they are a bigger club than us and it would be the biggest gig of his career so far.

I don't want him to go though so Villa can do one!

The Swansea game was the best I have seen us play in a long time, the top two pressed the Swansea defence, lead to poor passes. The link up with Sadio and Brown was good. Morrison made a number of good runs with the ball. Flecther and Yacob were excellent. We moved the ball a bit quicker than in recent games that I have seen.

In life timing is everything, for TP to go to VileNila now, is the wrong time

who is missing go figure......Anichibe we can now press higher and faster.Anichibe needs to get in shape too much weight thats why he is so injury proned.

We play the London media darlings this afternoon so its no surprise that the London media print a story to try and unsettle us.
