Further to that, I'd say that if the stats from Pulis's first few months in charge are to be dismissed as a "honeymoon period", then for the sake of consistency Roy Hodgson's stats from his opening months in charge should also be adjusted to dismiss his similar "honeymoon period". (I doubt doing that would prove or achieve anything, but when people are making statistical arguments, consistency is key).
