So we still haven't scored a goal from open play away from home under Pulis...,,,,,, just saying likr.

This isn't just 'under Pulis' - it's been a problem all season.

We've scored 4 goals from open play away.

1 under Irvine (Varela at QPR)
1 under temp staff (Saido at West Ham)
2 under Pulis (Victor at Blues).

This is a problem that needs to be addressed. Clearly, both Irvine and Pulis had a similar style
away from home 'defend first and foremost', but we don't really have the players to expose
teams on the break.

Apart from McManaman, we don't have a natural midfielder who can really break at pace and
he's been unfortunate with injuries. Sess is an option, but always played better football up top.

I think it'll be fair to judge Pulis on 'creativity' next season. He likes players who can break forward
at pace with quality, like he inherited at Palace, but that's a stark contrast to the likes of Gardner,
Brunt and co. Hopefully the players we bring in during the summer will help to address this issue.

I think he's got the best out of the players at his disposal to set us up to be stubborn but threatening
from set plays. Given the players we have, if we were not so good from corners, we'd probably
be staring down the barrel now.
