There's a broader point to be made about Chansiri being able to do no wrong in some parts -and support for Pulis will be part of that - but it was obscured by clever clever snarkiness for which I apologise.

Although that was when they where facing a relegation battle.... Errr.... aren’t we facing a relegation battle.... or am I holding the league table upside down ?

We don't need a temporary stop gap manager which is what he would be. We actually need a manager that can build something and take us forward long term. Everyone knows what Pulis brings, theres enough quality in this team to stay up. Can Wednesday for once have a bit of vision and forward thinking. I would back Pulis if he came obviously but imo awful appointment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was sacked for his record with us, not his career.

Holmowl Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 When Bruce took over, my memories - and please correct me if I remember wrongly - was this... We went completely safety first at the back. We had a giant side. I recall looking at us at set-pieces, with Fox, Fletch, right-back Iorfa, Borner, Lees , Reach and sometimes Nuhiu, and thinking wow! That’s some threat. I thought we had a plan and discipline. I don’t remember it being drab. I quite enjoyed it. Are we expecting a very different style from Pulis?

Ante's Bubbly Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 4 minutes ago, Holmowl said: Anyone would think we’ve been a free-scoring Liverpool or City this last few years. Take a look. Pulis’s Championship record suggests we’ll see a goal or two less over the season, but ship far fewer at the other end. Pulis Average GF56 GA45 Owls 19/20 GF58 GA66 Owls 18/19 GF60 GA62 Owls 17/18 GF58 GA60 Owls 16/17 GF60 GA45 Owls 15/16 GF66 GA45 Lets also not forget, we’ve a mighty SIX goals in 11 this season, including two pens. We are not Barca and Pulis won’t turn us into 1980s Wimbledon. We’ll be well organised, hard, maybe slightly cynical, and we’ll get the ball into the box earlier. I’m very happy with all of that. I agree with what you are saying, regarding Pulis and his ability to play solid uninteresting football, but how can it be an improvement on what we had under Monk? We only started shipping goals when we lost several midfielders and six central defenders, including stand in central defenders. Take those away from Pulis and he would struggle not to ship goals too. We had some real comedy moments when those goals were going in and a good few were from top finishes, or more tha a bit fluky. If we are getting a new manager we need an improvement on the last one, or what's the point? I am no longer a Pulis fan. His skills as a manager are diminishing rapidly and his style is not so effective. We have few gifted players and no real strikers other than Rhodes. Unfortunately, for that very reason, we need to be solid all throughout the team. So Pulis can deliver a solid team, with little chance of scoring many goals, but not letting too many in. I think you could be right. Not a long term investment, a footballing investment, or an entertaining investment, but hopefully a safe bet safety wise. Not my choice, but there are in my opinion lots of worse choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
