My comment about "a team of centre halves" was said as a joking reference to the "team of Tony Browns" sung at the Hawthorns. Having said that we will probably have 4 centre halves on the pitch on Saturday (and unlike in our previous away matches, against Man City I will not complain about us parking the bus) and who knows what on the bench. It says a lot when last week we had a complete bench of defenders or defensive midfielders and brought on a centre half to play up front.
This shouldn't be a surprise. I'm surrounded by Stokies at work and their only real criticisms of Pulis were his preference for playing central defenders at full back and his reluctance to give younger players a chance - we 're already seeing both traits.
