Now, we've got good defenders (who deserve a break for 20 seconds or so - after all, they're getting on a bit!), but the midfielders and attackers don't seem capable of opening up ANY defence (except West Ham, of course, who were a joke.)
Every 3 or 4 weeks Pulis allows his forwards (to use an old term) to venture forward, and they actually look decent.
But this safety-first style is turning the fans away in their thousands. And it just doesn't even work.
We can't even get 40% possession against Northampton.
And when we played a struggling Stoke team, and eventually managed a late equaliser, and we had the chance of a late winner (a free kick in their half in the 93rd minute) instead of sending the big boys up to get the 3 pts we should be aiming for, Pulis told his back 4 to stay on the 1/2 way line! Unbe-fecking-lievable!!!!
