Tony Pulis will aswell. Pulis was brought in because he has never been relegated yet?, Cook for me would have be the better option. We have played 5-4-1 the last two games, Bannan is either not bothered or being wasted the midfield offering nothing going forward and the midfielder up front is often isolated with little or no service. We are basically defending with 8 or 9 men behind the ball then holding it to 1 man up front. If we want to bore the other teams to 20 draws then we have started well but we need wins and to do that we need to create chances to score, then have someone who can convert the chances. Come January or now we need to line up 2 or 3 striker but as always we will get the same excuses and no one will be in before the end of the window. I pray he proves me wrong but DC is very predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I dont think this is worst Wednesday side I have seen but it's not far off. Got to accept if we stop up we will have to endure a lot of games like this with us hopefully nicking enough games 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 its going to be a battle all season to escape relegation with the squad we have so expect many more games like this one .......without the deduction we;d be 2 pts clear with 5 clubs below us so we arnt the worst in this division which gives a chance of survival .......as for worst in 28 years nah , the defensive side is too good to be bracketed with some of the past . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 4 hours ago, pazowl55 said: Pulis said in his press conference when he arrived that he is going to be straight talking and won't just tell the chairman what he wants to hear. Alot of these players are going to be on there way in January. I am expecting loads of ins and outs. And I got a feeling Pulis is someone who will get his own way. Yes, I’ve a feeling that Pulis will be off pretty quickly if DC doesn’t support him with funds in the next transfer window 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I think we've had worse teams on paper than this one, but I really hate watching this side. The fact we've spent a small fortune to end up with this just makes it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_al1985 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It's a poor squad, but it's mid table in a poor league with a decent manager. It's relegation material under monk or a dinosaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Pulis too will surprise us in the window. Be hopes so cocker or were in trouble im hoping DC will give us a good January for a change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUMBELOWS91 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 We're basically doing the rope-a-dope until January, hanging in there and then hopefully gather our strength and come out swinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
