Like many Baggies fans on here, I am fast running out of patience with Pulis. His team selections and tactical set-ups are so negative and we don't look like scoring. JP is a Baggies fan and I wonder how much longer he is going to watch this crap. I don't think he will risk sacking Pulis just now, but if we survive this season, I hope he gets shot of him. We have lost opportunities against Villa, Swansea and now Newcastle to put serious points on the board and daylight between us and the bottom three. Instead, we've got two points out of nine. Today's team selection was a complete disgrace. Two attacking players and nine defensive ones, it's no surprise we concede possession when the ball just keeps coming back. I don't care what coaching badges Pulis has got, he has proved to me now that his badges mean xxxx all. I think he's got serious problems working out what to the rest of the world is obvious, that taking the game to the opposition actually works better than being defensive. 1-0 in a game we could have won, 0-0 against Villa, that's five points gone that would have seen us on 34 points and eleven points above the drop zone. Well, Tony, I hope you're squirming this weekend, because you've ruined so many of our weekends with your shit football.

Like many I have been a TP fan, his reputation for lifting teams out of the doo dah is second to none.

My support was even greater because he was a decent logical appointment after that numpty Irvine. As a result I have stuck loyally behind him and probably beyond an acceptable point.

A few games back we started to play positive football and I was convinced we had turned a corner.

Injuries have not helped and Saido not being available gas been a contributing fact but there is no excuse any more for these dire performances. He gas to pull a rabbit out of the hat on Wednesday and next weekend. The fugue set of fixtures are hell based on the Newcastle performance.

Just maybe, possibly this is a moment to kick the players and TP into life.
Do bad, dreadfully bad, that they react and get their act together for the tough journey to end if season.

Maybe a pivotal moment....... Clutching a positive straws

I have reflected on yesterday`s performance and decided to return my season ticket.

Stairs, love your glass half full attitude but the glass is leaking faster than you can fill it ....... I always support anybody representing our club but I am fast reaching the point of no return ....... I may join the Pulis out brigade with much more of this. Have not been yet this season ..... can not bring myself to look at the fixtures to fit a game in around work ..... that has not happened before ..... even in division three I was there ...... heaven help me.

I thought exactly the same after the Villa game though, Stairs.

Utterly predictable I really need to start betting on our losses. I'm going to put a mangers hat on based on two factors.
1 Who has been performing or should perform at this level and 2 who's not down the doctors
formation 451 that becomes a 4231
defence first: Oh wait they're all down the doctors but ideally LB brunt CB's Mc'cauley, evans RB Dawson ( guess in light of whats happened Poco will get his chance but he's a liability)
Midfield: left to right McClean ( doubters be aware he works his nuts off box to box he does put a lot of crosses in but there's nobody there he's strong quick attacks and defends) this brings me to Right wing Sessegnon all that McClean does plus much more skilful, down the middle fletcher and yacob they have experience for the fight then bang in the centre in a no 10 roll as they say Berahino its time this boy got his shooting boots back on and showed what we know he can do and it will aid his desire to piss off when the season ends up front Big Vic again he has the experience he can hold the ball up and berahino sess and McClean can feed off this as can our defenders coming forward. We also need Morrison back asap. I think Rondon will come good but not now and that's summit we don't have time for unless of course big vic ends up back down the doctors. This is my starting line up
This will get results IMO
