[Sir Megson]

There were distinct shades of the last days of Steve Clarke about that performance (and all of the draws leading up to it).  Defend, defend, defend, defend, concede, lose: there's a sad inevitability about it.  The only virtue to negative, defensive football is the ability to grind out wins, and if we can't even do that, then the writing's on the wall.

Pulis being Pulis, he may well pull off a shock win against a big side in the coming weeks to keep himself in the job, but right now his position's looking closer to untenable than at any other point since he's been here.  Shockingly bad on every front.

That's my fear to be honest. At about 70 odd minutes played yesterday, I said to the bloke next to me that the worst result today would be for us to score and pinch a result here because that would have made the incredibly poor quality of football justified. 

I've always been one of a few on here and up the Albion in general to be playing Devil's advocate and putting forward a more Pro Pulis side to the debates, but that performance yesterday was the final straw for me and many others. The crowd will be turning on him in the masses against Man City and I'd expect he will be struggling to hold onto his job as the results just have not been good enough against the sides we've faced.

What's worse is I'd fully expect us to sack Pulis then give the job to Megson for quite a large amount of the season while lining a replacement up. The guy does not deserve to have his record tarnished and it's a depressing situation all round.
