Not hearing much from the pro-Pulis lovers now are we? And now, I'm not the only one who's now calling him the 'anti-Christ' of football.

We should be re-named 'West Stoke Albion' as thats the way it's going so far under this excuse for a Head Coach.

Anyone still happy to support 'Clueless Pulis' ?

Very appreciative to TP for keeping us up last season but this dross and crap team selections/substitutions cannot go on.

JP spent way more than he ever has in the past but we have gone backwards not forwards. This will only get worst when Saido leaves in January.

Time to go TP or you are in danger of breaking your record of never being relegated.

Generally speaking BaggieMan, I haven't seen anyone I'd consider to be "Pro Pulis" or a lover of Pulis, just those who were more patient and considered with their opinions and allowing him more time to prove his doubters wrong. Today has been the opposite of that, so:

It's the calling people turncoats when he was appointed that rankles for me personally; as I was definitely happier to have seen the back of Irvine than I was annoyed to see Pulis given the job. And despite speaking for others on their behalf, I'd imagine those sentiments are quite common among a large proportion of fans.

I think we must have watching a different player today Anderson, along with Yacob the best two players in out team for me today. Poor Rondon tried hard but gave the ball away far to often, but difficult for him to have an attacking presence in our 18 yard box.

Atrocious performance with a distinct lack of desire, quality, ambition and heart again today, along with some of the strangest setup and substitutions.

Brunty for all his hard work was ripped two new ones today by Zaha.

Even in the bad old days I could usually find something to justify our position with other supporters, now I just can not defend this. Bad when a Dingle in the pub brings me a pint over and genuinely say's "never mind things can only get better".
Absolutely! Don't disagree at all that he was one of our better players today. But that is part of the problem....works the wing, gets up and down, seems to have a great attitude BUT compare his actual attacking impact to his opposite number. How often does it look like he's done his man only to turn back inside. When I first saw him I thought WTF, but he's really grown on me. But if he is one of the teams better players on a regular basis - we're in trouble!

That sums it up pretty well, but in his defence he is better going forward than backwards and when he does get to go forward there is no one ahead of him meaning he has to turn back, which as you rightly point out is not his best direction of travel. Not to mention he is predominantly left footed if my memory serves me correctly, which does not help.

TP has to learn that if you never attack you, never score.

I suppose Tibby, living where I do in 'Stokeland' I saw all this coming way back to when Pulis was appointed and I was the only one on this site who voiced the anti-Pulis warnings and all I got was flack for having the temerity to air my views.

Hey, ho Tibby, it's only a game and sometimes I really wish I didn't hold the loyalty and affection that I do for my club, but love them I do and to see them like this really hurts.

Squirrel
What Pulis has done mate is to crucify football firstly at Stoke City and now at my club.
if you can't see that Squirrel, I just don't know what to say mate.

I would wager a few players are now wondering what direction Pulis is taking them in.
In the same way that supporters recognise poor football, I am sure players recognise poor management.
We've got plenty of good players, and certainly enough to take a game to the opposition more than we are doing.
I'm really hacked off with our lack of attacking intent.
Performances like today's are unacceptable.
