SiJ Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Point stands. We've already got people lining up to tell us how this is the worst appointment ever. I'm not enamoured with it by any stretch, but I'm willing to give the bloke a chance. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl84 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Strange that people have wanted Megson back, we now look like we are getting someone that plays the same style but his results are better and they don't want to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke weren't a great side to watch, but they did play direct football with a purpose. It's when you start just aimlessly hoofing it that I start to lose the will to live. The purpose was to get it forward quickly and flood players around the ball in wide areas to win throw ins, corners and free kicks. Load up the box with bigmotherfuckers. The other tactic was attempt to cripple the oppositions best player early on to scare off anyone who wasnt going to be up for a scrap. I was at Stoke when they did Jeffers. He was the best player on the pitch for 30 minutes then Shawcross basically ended his career. They tried numerous times to do it to other players too. Just utter shithouse football of the highest degree. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'm blinded by Monk getting sacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 The thing is we really haven’t got the players to play the Pulis way. He doesn’t have a plan B so what the hell is he going to do with this sorry lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be away with a years compo if he fails us next season. Don't trust him. Most manager contracts at this level are limited to a 3-6 month compensation pay off, so the length of contract isn't such a big deal. I'm happy with Pulis to get us out of the mire this season and then I'd hope we'd be in a better position to attract a more modern, footballing manager. Would be an unusual move for Mr Chansiri to offer a 2.5 year deal though as I'm sure Carvalhal, Jos, Bruce, and Monk were all on rolling contracts... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Not sure about long-term. A short term to keep us up would be my ideal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 What I will say is this. Since Megson left, I think as a club we’ve been a soft touch. At least Pulis will make us nasty to play against. 2.5 years though. Really not sure about that DC. How can you come out and say you didn’t like Bruce’s football and then give Pulis a deal over 2 years. Short-term to get results with this squad, yes. Thinking long-term with him in charge is just not it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big lad in Patterson up top for the long ball and knocking defenders about. A bit of pace out wide to chase the said long balls/flick ons. We've got some aggression in midfield in Luongo and Pelupessi. Units at the back in Iorfa and Borner. I'm sure we have a long throw merchant too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Chansiri was criticised for not giving Monk a longer deal. He was stung by losing Bruce. Not surprised he's giving Pulis a longer deal. Pulis will have sold thr idea of a medium to longer term vision for the club. Emphasising that he needs time and a few transfer windows. Chansiri will have liked what he saw and given him a longer deal. Someone like Pulis, who has been around the Prem for a long time, wouldn't be happy coming here on a short term deal with little time to succeed. That's the reality. But secondly who gives a **** how long the deal is? It doesn't matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Pulis is like.... Wanting to watch a film, so you buy a vhs tape and player. Yes, you can technically watch the film, but with grainy picture and sound so you don't enjoy it. 6 months later you buy a DVD player and watch the film properly in HD. Why not just get a DVD player now when you have the oppurtunity and watch it properly. Edited November 12, 2020 by striker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just lost at home to Luton, hammered away to Rotherham, gifted Wycombe their first ever Championship win, and drew at home to Millwall - all without scoring a goal. We've scored 6 all season. We've won 1 home game this year. We've won 3 out of 11 so far. We'd still only be 21st in the league if we didn't have 6 points deducted. That's below Rotherham and Barnsley. We can't make squad changes until January. You don't think we are in the mire? Seriously, who do you think we could attract to manage us right now? 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Daz Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Just lumped on a tenner each way @ 250/1. If he doesn't get at least 3rd spot this season, he can do one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
