Hookowl 10,643 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Great OP as always M'Lud. I see you are sticking with your theory of discounting our first game with Pulis as manager. "Joe Wildsmith will start between the sticks for Wednesday after Kieren Westwood picked up an injury in his first start of the season at Swansea." 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Flat Owl 5,920 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Top OMDT Snoots. Its a question of time...Tone is seeing what we all have and is slowly but surely addressing each point in turn and you can see progress even in the short time he has been here. It might take another 4 or 5 games but we are now beginning to compete. COME ON WEDNESDAY. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
FreshOwl 9,552 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Can we score more than 1 goal at home???? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TheEnchanter 21,884 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We are so going to do these today. Uncle Tonys first win in his first home game coming up. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Animis 5,226 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I wonder if he'll go with two up top at home. It looked like a 3-3-3-1 the other night with BB, Reach and Paterson supporting the lone striker. Stoke have been involved in some high scoring games, but expect it to be a tight 1-1. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Owl 2,283 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks Mi'lord. My concern is that if they score, the best we can hope for is a draw, while if they score twice..... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ozymandias Owl 2,576 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Owl Stork said: Yeah, Pulis says the right things, but the difference is that he says them with conviction. If you're in the dressing room, you want someone to inspire you, build your confidence and give you a reputation to live up to. If Pulis speaks to the players as he does to the public, then I'm confident he'll get the best out of them....and if their best is not enough, you know that he won't be afraid to change things around as soon as he can. That's what the best managers do. Arguably it's easier to inspire an underperforming team, than to sustain the performance of a successful team and we have a Manager in place who can do the first part at least, if properly backed. The second part would be a nice problem to have. It would be fantastic to see us climb up the table, but steady progression is all I want to see right now. A narrow win today would be a step in the right direction. Come on you frustratingly inconsistent Owls! I think Pulis bringing JVA off after he got skinned by Ayew was a great sign. Pulis knew they would target him, and he'd lost his composure. Great call, and not afraid to make the difficult decision there. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Errol Flashman 8,919 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Funnily enough, I reckon Pulis would have liked to have had Fox as an option for us at left centre half or full back. 2 Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to post Share on other sites
CalmJimmers 2,198 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Against Tony's old club - win upcoming. 2-1 Lees on his birthday and Reach. Up the hoofball warriors. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Everything needs to go down the right and target Megan Fox. One of THE worst defenders I've ever seen. He's worth at least a goal start. A steaming, sloppy dog turd of a footballer. That's him scoring a setpiece against us today then 1 Link to post Share on other sites
theowlsman 39,934 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks for the thread as always Snoots. I fancy a cheeky 1-0 today. Corner kick, Tom Lees header. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

mcmigo 5,346 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We have been a disgrace so far under TP. 0.5 points a game 1 goal 0 goals from open play should have 0 points but for an insane ref decision in last minute v Swansea/ I expect further disgrace today and a handsome beating, but TP will talk a good game afterwards. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Ellis Rimmer 5,617 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Steve has dropped Hi Ho Silver Lining-Bold move but we always play it and we're generally rubbish so I can see the idea behind it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
