Went to the game and we thoroughly deserved it.
I did consider not going but couldn't miss the clash of Pulis against our bogie team.
I've seen them too many times, they've never out-classed us but always won, and their away support is always, horribly loud. (fair play - wish our home fans were on par (and I hate saying that))
Just posting to add what's been said - Jimmy, Fletch, and our defensive line were solid and ran it. Bobby and Saido ran their socks off creating movement and chances.
The thing I like about Pulis is he makes everybody work and that's especially noticeable with our strikers. They make the runs, create chances and try to score BUT (and it's a Beefy sized but -sorry big man- love ya) they pressure the opposition defenders. Sounds simple but has been lacking for ages.
I'm not the only one to say 'I don't mind losing if everyone gives their all for the cause' - you cannot ask for more and we're getting there.
I think Saido will be off at the merest cheque-flash and good luck to him.
Feel sad he's not interested in furthering the club that helped him and the partnership valpayne mentions but so be it.
Modern footy ay it.
