NEILLO Well, we haven't become Stoke Mk 2 have we ? TP has the team very well drilled and organised. Proof of that especially at the Etihad. The challenge for the players is being disciplined and mentally strong enough to keep the highest levels of concentration required. His use of Chamakh illustrates his tactical nous and his ability to see things in players that others don't Our play on the break has improved, and with more accomplished finishing we would have maybe a few more points on the board. Strange, I welcomed Holloway's appointment and then quickly went off him. Other way around with TP, I'm very impressed with what he's brought to the club. My thoughts as well.

Quote redpalace91 at 19 Jan 2014 11.01pm It's clear that Pulis's method works but I have seen the club play far more entertaining football in the past. If we were to survive this season, could it come at a cost? We seem to be content with scrappy 1-0 wins against the weaker sides and employing a damage limitation mentality against the stronger sides. Our win against Stoke was technically perfect but football is also about entertainment- 14 goals in 22 games is disappointing for many fans. With the smallest budget and probably weakest squad in the division I don't think you can have it both ways. You can entertain or you can try to stay up. We are not Man City and don't have the luxury of being able to do both. I actually think his football is more entertaining than I was expecting (Saturdays performance accepted) although even then it was probably so dull to watch because Stoke were very negative. It does take two dull sides to make a dull game to be fair.

Damage limitation ?we should have at least drawn with City and Chelsea.....I am not a so called purist...to watch Arsenal and all their passing week after week would bore me to tears !!!!Yes good sharp passing mixed in with the long pass and even sometimes The Hoof !

Really not all that bothered from an 'entertainment' perspective about our brand of football. Have actually enjoyed the last few games and thought we played some decent stuff at times (Tottenham 1st half being a prime example) - it certainly wasn't hoofball. I do, on the other hand, worry that in the medium term, Pulis is going to hinder the development of a number of players in our squad (anybody under 6' tall). In particular, Johnny Williams, Gayle, Campana and Bannan may struggle to get a game. Going forwards I'd like to see Ward back at RB and us playing one of our midfield options (SOK/Bannan etc) in midfield ASAP too.

Pulis has done a fantastic job and the style of football has improved under him and it is definitely not hoofball, ok there is some but there's bound to be in a lower end team whoever you are but the majority of football is decent. The way I see it is 18 teams have played 22 and us and Sunderland who had a dreadful start and we're well off the pace when our new managers took over and effectively had about 12 games each to play catch up. Can you imagine the position we would be in if TP had started the season because in my honest opinion we would of been at least 5 or 6 points better off which would put us mid table, obviously this is only guess work but going by our first ten under Holloway and second 12 under Pulis that's how I reach that conclusion. So that would show how brilliant a manager Pulis is and I for one am very happy with him.

I'm more than happy with the way we are playing. Especially as we are getting decent results. I don't think we are playing without style, we are employing the wing men which is always exciting. I guess some people will moan regardless of how we are doing! Rachid Harkouks passport was lost in the post ......Honest. Team of the 80's, well we were for a few months in the autumn of 1979... (Insert name of latest manager) Red And Blue Army RIP staffie most helpful hol member and all round good bloke.

The only passing under Holloway was the passing along the defence, which invariably led to mistakes. With Pulis, we play our football in the oppositions half, which is how it should be
