Pulis looks like he has one short term goal and that is to keep us up. The team selection for the last few matches including today and the tripe we are playing have been disastrous. However, he just might achieve his goal and as it's 0-0 with Sunderland at the moment if it stays that way this 1 point could help achieve that (despite the match boring me to death). Now, I am certainly not saying sack the man no matter what at the end of the season, especially if he manages to keep us up but do we think he is interested in anything other than maintaining his impressive record of never being relegated? For example, with most managers, I'd think they'd play the way Pulis is playing now until the end of the season for necessities sake and then next season we'd see the introduction of a goal scorer (new signing), Williams, Bannan, Guerdiora and Gayle to the starting 11. However, with Pulis, I think it's looking more and more likely that if he stayed, our midfield for the first Premiership match of next season would consist of Jedinak, Ledley and KG. I just think that IF we survive this season, we'd have been somewhat fortunate but that is fair game for what I consider one of the least prepared Premier League teams ever. But next season if we carry on the way we have over the last 4 games, we will definitely get sent to where the rest of the football world think we belong. Thoughts?

You can't play pretty football in a relegation scrap! Some people on here have no clue.

Is Pulis interested in good football? It obviously depends on your definition of good. Good being a means to an end or good as in really really pretty? If KG had scored though..............

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Am I the only one...' by Penge Eagle Who is waiting with his season ticket renewal with the secret hope we go down? I'm not sure I can take this league again next year and the way it forces us to play.
We're playing boring football in a boring league with boring players, and it's f***ing expensive too. Going to new grounds is about the only enticement the Premiership has for me, and the same could be said of League 1.

Thing is by not even attempting to look to play and create we run the risk of those around us getting results (as WBA did today, as Fulham did today) so these 0-0 draws at Sunderland mean nothing if they pick up three points We need to take some risks

TP has achieved what no one thought possible when he came, but we are definitively the worst team in PL. Hopefully next season if we stay up, the owners at least consider an other boss to give us some entertainment as well as using some of our younger (and shorter) players.

We're playing boring football in a boring league with boring players, and it's f***ing expensive too. Going to new grounds is about the only enticement the Premiership has for me, and the same could be said of League 1. I've not even got particularly excited by anyone we've played this year. I just don't care enough about the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea or Man United and pity their so called fans. I've enjoyed away days to Watford far more than going to that corporate snoozefest that is the Emirates. It's all so f***ing sterile and boring. I'd rather go into games feeling we could win or lose 3-0, rather than what we're seeing currently. It's not like I even expect pretty football, just the odd bit of excitement and attacking intent. I really think if we stay up this year and become a lower mid table premier league side, I'll fall out of love with football very quickly. Edited by Kosowski (15 Mar 2014 5.31pm)

A point a game is what we need and any away point is valuable. If you don't like the Premier League, then fair enough, but if you want us to stay up, Pulis is the man

He is purely doing a job to keep us up! No intention at all to win the game and if I had travelled up that distance to watch that performance I would have been unhappy. That has to go as one of worst I have witnessed. If we had conceded we would have had no complaints. We barely strung 3 passes together and the control of the ball was non league standard.
