Beats Arsenal
Draws away at Chelsea
Draws away at Liverpool
One draw to Villa, regardless of them being a local derby, any team can have a wobble on match day and now all of a sudden it's shall we get rid?
Where's the patience gone?
I think people's opinions are formed on more than just the result and performance against Villa though, as we've seen a few games now that have been below the standard we'd expect of an Albion side.
Palace, Swansea & Southampton away games, plus Southampton and Villa at home have all been wretched performances in my opinion, plus the treatment of certain signings such as James Chester in particular have all contributed to people wanting the manager out. Personally I think it's scandalous to sign the lad for £8m, play him out of position and then bomb him out of the team.
That said, I've voted no on the poll and stand by my opinion that it'd be pointless to sack him part way through the season and also he hasn't let a bad run fester since he's been here so I don't think we'll lose the next 3. However, I would bloody well hope we are already beginning the process of talking to potential replacements as we need to be prepared to bring a manager in with more ambition than Pulis shows.
His brief when he got the job I'm sure would have been to keep us up and he's on track to do that for the second time now. I can't say I was confident that Mel or Irvine would have achieved that, so for that Pulis has done a good job for us and gotten some very good results along the way, but for me he is not a good fit at the Albion and we deserve better.
Hopefully this doesn't sound like negativity or doom and gloom, just my feelings at the moment with how things are going for us.
