A lot of people are saying how bad we were against Villa in the league but to be honest,
it was a game of 2 halves. First half we didn't handle their long ball and they could've
been a goal or 2 up. As it happened, they were a goal up at half time.

Second half, we were the better side, got our goal back and had a couple more chances.
Villa looked to have completely ran out of ideas and never looked like scoring until
Foster lost his head.

I don't really see how Pulis could be responsible for this for loss.

Foster is usually pretty dependable but completely lost it. It wasn't even denying a
goalscoring opportunity - he pushed Chris Baird out of the way who would've cleared.

The cup game was a carbon copy in reverse. We were the better side in the first half
and missed a couple of real easy chances with Ideye and Lescott. Ideye's especially
was criminal and when you consider he's a £10m man - I think that sums up our
greater problem.

I think the Leicester game was definitely a killer and I have no problem with people
grumbling about Pulis' tactics for that game. But to blame him for the league loss at
Villa seems to be very much clutching IMO. Doesn't matter who you have in charge
when the keeper drops a clanger like that.
