My thinking on him not playing wasn't anything to do with his character, it's to do with the fact that he's no longer the keeper that he was.

He's done nothing for a year and prior to that his form was just getting worse.

I think it's character based-I completely agree his form fell off but you would expect the incumbent to lose their place and fight it out with the understudy for that no1 spot. With us it was a case Westwood got dropped and never got an oppurtunity to reclaim that place. How do you go from no1 keep to not being the reserve keeper? why was he not registered? it points to a fall out and being frozen out. 

 

Also when he lost his place under Jos he was playing badly, Bruce brought him back and he played well again.

Losers....anyone who has to witness watching us

Winner....Pulis, someone’s given him a job

[torryowl]

Winners.....Those that can adapt to how pulis wants them to play.

 

Losers ....those that cant .

 

Having read what higgingbottom said I think it shouldn't be too hard to play just as long as they stick to the plan .

Apologies if I've asked before but why has Westwood been frozen out since Carvalhal left?

Not sure how Westwood is a winner, as he can't play until the new year. 

What’s keeping him out? Fall-out with the previous management or injuries? If it is injuries then he seriously needs to consider retiring as he has been unavailable for more time than not with us.

Or possibly it points to not wanting to fight for his place. He had intimated several times prior to this that he struggled to train properly.

It's all supposition I know, just my thoughts obviously but I don't think we'll see him play again for Wednesday.

I think the general consensus is that he’s seen as being disruptive because he has a strong personality and questions things.

We will know in a few years when they start appearing on podcasts etc.

He's not in the 25 man first team squad.

Pulis probably won't take a second look if someone starts questioning training. That is fine by me, they get paid well enough to do some work whenever told and no moaning should be tolerated.

 

It is going to be interesting to see how things develop if Westwood is back in the squad before January (I think it's possible if TP wants to).

Who knows..we may play our best players.  In their best positions..

Winner...Pulis’ bank account

Loser...Chansiri’s bank account

 

But hey ho it’s his to lose.

[sonofbert2]

For PR and getting detractors on board the best thing Pewlis could do is register and play Westwood.

[Hitcat]

Losers: Everyone

Winners:

And announcing Bannan is the greatest player that has ever lived.

I think he’ll line up like this:

 

Dawson

 

Iorfa Lees Dunkley Van Aken

 

Harris Luongo Pelupessy Bannan

 

Paterson Rhodes

Dawson won't be in goal, Pulis is old not blind

[GMOwl72]

Don’t view Borner as a typical Pullis centre half. Can’t see him playing unless we have injuries.

[full fathom five]

Losers- anyone who has to watch us

 

Winners- Pulis when he sues us

Winners:

Westwood, Penney and Rhodes will be delighted due to a change in manager as were frozen out

Patterson should fit Pulis's style to a T due to his long throw, shithousery and the only target man at the club

Similarily with Windass (who will also be delighted that Cook hasn't arrived)

 

Losers:

Bannan-on record as saying Pulis was not a fan of him

Reach who will be expected to be much more tenacious than he is

Van Aken as I can't see how Pulis would value a defender with his qualities 

 

Who do people reckon will be the winners and losers here?

Biggest winners - Pulis/Stuffing Boy

Biggest losers - The fans

Obviously the biggest loser is Adthe...absolute shoe in....

 

He would have been a guaranteed starter under Pulis.
