Looking back on our performance on Monday night I'd say Gibbs should now have cemented his place at left back, and playing two up top is definitely the way to go with this team.
Although at times he gives me the impression he's stealing a living as a footballer... Rondon has rarely played in a front 2 and I think he and Rodriguez need a run of games together as they could well form a good partnership.
That said, the realist in me expects TP will view this as must not lose instead of must win. And that approach for this season will not wash with supporters after our business in the summer window.
Just want to point out this post I made pre game.
I'm not pro Pulis - just not pro sacking a manager at this stage of the season with no decent replacement lined up. That's how we ended up with Pepe Mel, which then led to Alan Irvine.
Even Pulisball wasn't as bad as those two. There's being bored and leaving the ground fed up under TP, then there's leaving it fuming after some of the absolutely gutless displays turned out under the tenure of both Mel and Irvine. And let's not even get started on the Transfer Window Irvine had! Utterly amazing we're still in the division to be honest.
