I thought it seemed very deliberate from Pulis to change our approach at half time, and the plan from the beginning was to sit deep for a half, and then press higher later into the game. It's the right way to play against a team like Swansea, and a worked successfully.

To play as open a game as we did in the second half, for 90 minutes against Swansea, would've resulted in a hammering IMO.

Pulis got it spot on, and is as responsible as the players for a very good point away from home.

Quite.

And I'll take having to win at Fulham all day long. Was there yesterday and there was zero passion in the stands and not much more on the pitch. They are down.

You'll be forever in my family's memories and it was an honor and privilege to play and lead in the red and blue

It quite clearly wasn't a penalty but given some of the dire decisions that have gone against us I couldn't give a monkeys

Deffo clipped him outside, not a lot in it and can see why Jasper Carrott gave it but like I said, think Spurs, Man Utd, Liverpool and the atrocious decisions that went against us - who cares

Monk is just deflecting flak as he thought the game was won and took off their best defender by miles and put on some clown who noused it up and who's mistake got their second best defender got sent off

I had big doubts about TP as I work with a Stoke fan who told me we would end up divided between the TP supporters who are happy to stay up at all costs and those who wouldn't be able to stand any more anti football. I'm probably more on the purist side of the debate so let's say he wasn't my first choice... But I'm warming to him. He's proper smart. Game plan was perfect. Since Feb 8th when we beat WBA and they stuffed Cardiff they have played 6 games and we've played 2. He knew they would be knackered but also that you can play 45 minutes of football even if your knackered. So I suspect the plan was to stay in the game and then take the game to them as they tired. We did exactly that and only shame was we didn't get the second goal it looked like we'd get, but being honest I think Tony and all the rest of us would have took the point today. It's a long way from the football lesson we took from them at Selhurst. IF we win next week we'll be on 30 with 10 to play. We'd all have taken that at the start of the season never mind after the debacle of the first quarter of the season...

He made some poor decisions and showed his inexperience, understandably. All to our benefit! As regards the Pen, it wasn't but our time was due and Murray would have scored if he wasn't hacked down so fair is fair.
