Dont understand the "bored" comments... today wasnt great... but our other games in recent weeks have had me on the edge of my seat.. swans and soton included... Maybe its just because ive lived as a season ticket holder through the trevor ftancis and peter taylor years... but there is absolutely no way id call this season boring ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED Edited by cols123 (15 Mar 2014 10.36pm)
As I have said, i think TP is the man to keep us up and don't think anyone else would have done. I will always be grateful for that but long term, look forward to someone else and a bit more excitement in a few years. I'm pretty sure in a couple of years time if TP is still in charge, we're safe but playing same way, 99% of this forum would want a change- just like the Stoke fans did.

No today was not a must not lose game, it was a must win game. That's the tactics of the other sides in this league and for them it is paying off 3 to 1. Wont be long before they catch up. Then it may be too late to suddenly switch to a hell for leather style.

Does Pulis not understand that Murray needs delivery to score goals? We have got Barry Bannan picking splinters out his backside. His delivery is among the best in the league. At one point he was being touted to replace Scholes. C'mon, Anthony.

We will never be an established premier league team. There are in fact very few. Arse. Chelsea. Man u. Liverpool. Everton. Villa. Tottenham. City. Thats it isn't it? Everyone else will go through a cycle of promotion/relegation. Boom and bust. If we stay up this season what does anyone expect? One possibly two more seasons then the inevitable relegation and meltdown. Its football. .

Entertaining? Tony Pulis? First team? Whatever answers and whoever play, we should expect that a PL team of well paid pros is able to pass the ball to a teammate, string 3-4 passes together, create just a little bit in front of opposition's goal, have a little bit of tactical awareness (Bolasie), have a little bit of feeling for the game (Cameron) and don't mess up almost everything that comes in your way (KG). Remember the Gayle goal at Villa Park? Cameron had a similar run (not quite, but..) in the end and what did he do? Turned around and played a hopeless (again) pass backwards - he's supposed to be a striker godamit. Just wonder what they are doing down at Beckenham week in and week out?

Stylistically it's probably the most boring football we've ever played, however due to the exciting, s*** or bust nature of a relegation scrap and playing teams with better players week in week out, I would say this season has been fascinating. The unspeakably one paced, mediocrity of Peter Taylor's side will go a long wong before it's surpassed in terms of arse numbing tediousness. Scow croft and Dicov up front. Mark Kennedy walking round the centre circle for 90mins. Stuart Green on the wing... The stuff of nightmares.

pullis never had pre season and olly brought the players in so pullis hands are tied plus parrish doesnt help with the trans money hes a wheeler and dealer type of chairman so pullis is doing a fantasic job and if he keeps us up he should be manager of the year.

I don't have a major problem with the style of football assuming it suits the situation we are in - it does at the moment. My concern is that our tactics have regressed since the initial weeks of Pulis. We now seem to be home or away, sit back and frustrate the opposition and try to nick a goal at the end. Against the better teams that is fair enough, but I fear we will fall frustratingly short if that is the best we can do against the teams around us (including Sunderland). We need minimum 10 points now and where they are coming from I simply don't know if we play the same tactics against all. However I'm not a Manager and I haven't kept teams in the Prem like Pulis - hopefully I'll be proved wrong. Best thing we can do is trust in Tony and continue to be the best fans in the world - buckle up it will be a roller-coaster!
