Tony Pulis on the Sheffield Wednesday squad

[@owlstalk]

 

I have watched videos of the lads who have not played and then I have seen them in training.

 

We have to try and get some consistency with the team.

 

I don’t like to change the team too much. I like them to grow into what we need to achieve.

 

The players’ attitude has been fantastic. We deserved a little more than what we have probably got.

 

There is a weakness that we need to sort out.

[@owlstalk]

TP: The difficult thing is, I have watched videos of the players who aren’t playing and then watched them in training. I don’t like changing the team too much as I like the players to grow into the roles. But there’s an obvious component missing and we have to fix that

[McRightSide]

i.e. they're poo , i've seen the videos

[@owlstalk]

Pulis says Wednesday are lacking pace and power up front, something he says all the top teams have.

Says they're working hard to see what's available.

 

Pulis says he sees Paterson ideally as someone who arrives in the box late in his system.

[SallyCinnamon]

Really like Pulis and the way he comes across. No sugar coating and understands it’s a simple game.

Good lets get players in asap if possible.

 

Major overhaul needed.

[WalthamOwl]

He’s saying we need targets and runners up top. Without Paterson up top we don’t have a target imo. Guess he doesn’t class Rhodes as one of those players, personally I hope Rhodes starts tomorrow. 

[Guest wilyfox]

Certainly no BS with Big Tone. Honest, direct, and his points the way forward. 

[WalthamOwl]

I like him. Think he comes across very well and knows his stuff. Appreciate his honesty and not trying to paper over things. 

[gurujuan]

Pace and power up front, who’d have thought it Might be worth a try though

[FreshOwl]

A powerful striker is exactly what we need 

 

A few occasions against Swansea we broke them and had an opportunity of getting through on goal, but Bannan had no one up there with him

Imagine having Ayew in  your side?

[2soon]

With all the games over the next month or so Pulis is surely going to have to rotate?

[McRightSide]

Also very quick to say Bannan needs to be in the final third more

 

Yet another simple thing that was plain as day to see

Hopefully we'll get Pigott and Gayle or someone similar, in January, along with a winger, left back and a defensive holding midfielder. Till then, Pulis is at least looking to play to the strengths of the players we currently have, unlike the previous manager. Hopefully Pulis' know how will get more out of them, in time.

Nobody would turn their noses up at Gayle, well nobody at this level. Pigott I’m not sure about though, but definitely a powerful number nine to lead the line.

[Owls1992]

He knows what we need. It’s up to the club to go and get it for him now.

The name's a problem - have we ever had a player named, say, Bramall or Hogg?
