I feel we need to ditch the "Pulis will keep us up" mantra. To start that midfield against a team with no manager and which had not won in seven games was scandalous. By all accounts we had a lot of possession, well 43% which is unusual for us, but created precious little. There is no creativity in that team, hardly surprising when you start Fletcher, Evans, Gardner and Yacob in midfield. I genuinely feel Pulis will take us down; our primary, probably sole, source of creating chances is the set piece, we create next to nothing from open play - with that midfield, who would create it? I like Pulis the man; I think he's honest, self critical, fair, genuine and likeable. My problem is Pulis the Albion manager; he's playing a style of football that is wretched and, to be honest, no longer effective. However, he's not going to change his approach so I honestly think we're screwed.
