Interesting theory about Pulis liking tall full backs.
I remember Stoke getting promoted with Andy Griffin who was short and replacing him with Andy Wilkinson, who also looks short. Pulis tried to sign Neil Taylor from Swansea for us in the Summer who looks around 5'8 and didn't we also go for Martin Olsson?
I think Pulis has some flaws but some anti Pulis posts don't seem balanced. He clearly has a track record of liking a 'target man' in his career, but big full backs? Can't say it's something I've really noticed. IMO Dawson was put there because he actually plays better there than he does at centre half.
