[Zinman]

Can't blame Pulis? Who was it who decided to play our best central defender at left back? Who decided to play our 3rd or 4th best left back at left back? Who decided to offload Varela when we're crying out for pace and width? Yesterday we played with full backs who were incapable of getting forward- not their fault as they're both better central defenders - leaving us once again with no width. Macmanaman was easily marked out of the game with nobody supporting him. That's one goal in 3 league games and even that was given to us.

Pulis is making us into Stoke rather than Palace - 4 central defenders and hope to get a goal from a set piece. When Olsson is back I would expect to see Dawson as the 2nd choice right back rather than Gamboa who isn't tall enough. A long and boring season ahead and I fear Pulis May lose his record.
