We have been struggling on the pitch for some time now...if you were under performing yet earning a king's ransom compared to the average man on the street...would you kick up a fuss or sit tight on your pension fund?

13th best team in the country

If only that were true...I would take that until the day I die (plus a cup win)

Not a fan of Pulis tactics whatsoever, but he comes across well as a bloke and I thought his comments in the presser on Saido were very good.

TP wishes he had another 10 Berahino's. What 10 others with no respect for the club and wanting to get out. He is trying to protect the guilty party again. And was he fined for his twitter outbursts?

If we had another 10 players of Berahino's ability he wouldn't have to move because we would be a top 6 club

I really don't think he's all that. He had a good season last year and has potential, but he is a long way from the finished article

If we had another 10 players with Berahino's attitude then we would be a Championship club

Without Berahino we would definitely be a Championship club.

He Pulis is a manager of men.
Anyone who has that experience and done it successfully. Knows what he is trying to achieve.
Not hard really when you think about the situation?

The worst football I've seen since under Bobby Gould.

Just watched some of that cr*p on my computer, and the only positive I can see is that I took the decision not to step into the Hawthorns until Pulis has gone.
Utter drivel.....

4 clean sheets in 6 games. Outstanding effort by Pulis & the players.

The goals will come.

Indeed, the defense are well on course to 15-20 clean sheets over the full season.

At least you're not bottom of the league conceding goals for fun!

Awful can't see how fans can be happy with this was more of a struggle to sit here watching the game

Pulis has developed a midfield who don't run forward.
If the midfield could take their beds with them, they would be deliriously happy.

Foster#1 · « **Reply #3289 on:** September 12, 2015, 05:11:53 PM »

3 home games against 3 sides who started the season in Europe and are all expected to finish above us, 1 point.

2 away games, 4 points.

Good return.

How will they come when we can't pass the ball to another player. How will we score when all our players do is hoof it in the hope that our forward can do something.

There is no method in our play. The movement is terrible. Our main threat is a winger who seems to be pulled off after 70 minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pulis concentrates all his efforts in training to get us organised to not concede goals. Congratulations he has succeeded but how about paying a bit of attention to winning football matches.

He uses the hoofball, and our players have their backs to it.
No wonder it comes back with a vengeance...their players are facing it and can watch the flight.
Why not try passing and running?
Myhill was sluggish in even looking around.
Why isn't he instructed to throw the ball to our player, at least we stand a chance of retaining it.

I was explaining this to my brother, on paper what is happening is fine. 5 points from those 5 games is good and we're 13th. Nice one.

The issue is, it's supposed to be entertainment and it's far far far from entertaining. There's no creation and no running. No thought and no skill. Just block it and hoof it.

Horrible, horrible stuff.

Foster#1 · « **Reply #3293 on:** September 12, 2015, 05:27:27 PM »

We have played 4 sides who are expected to finish above us in Chelsea, City, Stoke & Southampton & we have gained 4 points.

Only side we've played who is expected to be in and around us is Watford where we got a point.

Calm down lads...

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #3294 on:** September 12, 2015, 05:32:01 PM »

Chelsea have 4 points...3 were a gift from us.
Stoke are bottom and we only beat them, when they had been reduced to 9 men.

We are there for the taking.

Bit like every other side in the league then

Defence wise we are much better , question is how to we improve attacking wise ?
Both Palace and Stoke scored goals and looked a threat under TP so why don't we ?....what's missing so much we get one maybe two chances a game.

Foster#1 · « **Reply #3297 on:** September 12, 2015, 05:40:01 PM »

Let's all look Stoke, all these attractive players they have but where are they ?

Bottom of the league.

Ambitionless- can't watch that every week.

I know we need some longevity and stability but that was horrific today.

Writes too many games off before they start. The use of the word dinosaur is appropriate we need to ditch that out dated 442

Why don't we look at the cr*p that has been played this afternoon, it's definitely not football.... It's a total disgrace....
