Burnsie Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 By my count.... C+ or B- Preston. Man sent off. Limited attacking Swansea. Looked much improved first half. They had a class player to bring on and changed in game in the second Stoke. Borrrriiiinnnngggggg. But didn't lose Reading. Looking good until the red with most of the game to go. Killer conceding a goal on half-time, but held out against a team doing well near the top of the table. Hence my grade.... However, need to start winning, which means more goals needed.... But we all know that. Don't think he could have done anymore with this squad? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 Got us organised. Seems to have done something I thought beyond us....got the players to look mentally strong for 90 minutes plus injury time. Defending resolutely against teams who have been rattling a few goals in. A shortage at the other end of course. But I'm not sure what can be done about that with our paucity of quality striking options. The fact we have a manager who actually has a 10 man system already set up just in case though pleases me. I like people who are organised and think ahead.

BIG D Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) I’d go with B Preston was probably the only game I expect anything from. Edited December 2, 2020 by BIG D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 B- we’d have lost tonight under Monk. Pulis has toughened us up but the discipline needs to improve and we have to start scoring some goals. We just need to keep in touch until Jan where hopefully he can bring in some firepower. ..get that sorted and we should start to move up the table.

Popular Post Kew Owl Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 Jury’s still out as far as I’m concerned - yes, we’re better organised, but it’s no win in four games now and without wins we’re doomed 8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with that, we look a lot more solid in defence but it's just a case of not having a clue where the goals are going to come from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Despite the circumstances conspiring against him he’s doing great. Only one big error from him so far - bringing Westwood back in (dare I say his name). Wednesday’s problems aren’t the here and now, it’s the getting to this point where we’ve put our foot in it. I think he’s sorting us out. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s sorting us out. Yes, it's what happened before his arrival which has got us in the brown stuff. And such a team of turds isn't suddenly going to be beating the best teams in the league. Pulis is doing what he can with the players that he has. Monk's ravaged us and it will take time to put it right. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesowl Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Very pleased. He’s making the right choices and we have “won” 3 points against good teams. We are a couple of players from being very good indeed. We missed Iorfa and we are missing Windass. We need a proper unit up front, and we need a creative player to complement Bannan. We aren’t far away. And that partly due to Pulis. With Monk we were miles away. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alan Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 A- He can't help the fact we hsve had reds.. I believe we would be out of the drop zone by now without them, and no one would be moaning. He is working with a good few of the tools missing from the box. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 B / B+ Past four games are as tough as they come. He’s done fantastically well to get the players to buy in to his methods so quickly in tough circumstances — bans, injuries, etc, but they clearly have done and we’re so much better organised as a result. A breath of fresh air compared to what came before. Tough game against Norwich this weekend (although Luton did them 3-1 tonight) and then a run of relatively easier games on paper where I’m sure we’ll start to climb the table. I’m optimistic for the future, big Tone knows what he’s doing 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gurujuan Posted December 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Easily pleased some of you Statistically, he’s doing worse than Monk, and I never thought that would be possible. Needs a win on Saturday, if this sort of points return continues, we’ll be down by Easter Edited December 3, 2020 by gurujuan 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Had an hard run of fixtures and a lot of availability problems add to that two stupid sending offs and the quality of this squad against the ones we’ve faced I think he’s done very well B+ I can see the light hopefully we are stronger after Norwich and can pick up some wins Onwards and upwards 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 A solid B from me. We've spent about a third of the time we've been on the pitch while he's been manager with only 10 men. Properly up against it against 3 tough sides in the last 3 games and I'd say we've looked very organised and 100% committed, albeit limited but the latter isn't TP's fault. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Turned a shower ofshite in to a well organised unit. 3 good results against teams challenging for promotion. It might not be pretty but its certainly effective. B+, the future is very bright. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Neither Pullis or his style of football are for me,but hes done ok,hes known for for organising sides and getting them fit and in players faces,our resouces are limited due to the chairmans major cockup,and hes working with a poor hand,as Monk was lets be reyt. The other end of the pitch needs sorting out,were toothless upfront,if we go the season with Patterson its the drop for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 B+ for me. He is trying to turn round a tanker with no brakes or rudder. It’s slowly turning! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
