mcmigo Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 6 minutes ago, Athelwulf said: Exactly. When we had a team full of quality and Carlos as manager we used to lose these sort of fixtures. Under Monk we were losing to teams which had come up from the Third. The series of fixtures we've been on could scarcely be tougher. In a way, that's probably what will keep us up. The reason being that we'd probably get similar results against these tough teams even with a strengthened squad. But after strengthening it will make a big difference against the weaker teams to come. So best get the tough fixtures out of the way now with the team in its weakened state. Beat Bournemouth , who finished above Norwich in the premier last season , under monk a few weeks ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our other striker the same and went to Cyprus. Managers failure ? Yes. If they was uninspired by the manager of course they would leave. If Pulis was in charge back then, they would have signed without a doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jos came in, in a season following two seasons where we were in for promotion and the team and squad was much stronger. This season we have bought from the bargain basement and just need to survive. You do that buy winning a few home games and drawing the rest. This is the reality we now find ourselves in and many of our fans need to realise this.

Surrendered 2 late goals (again). But you’re right, it was the refs fault....... Both penalty shouts and Peluppesy's chance came after Windass went off injured...

shandypants Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 20 minutes ago, mcmigo said: Nothing much more to say. No wins for Tony Pulis. Less than a point a game. He has less points in 5 games as Monk did in his last 2 games. We have gone backwards badly. We were on course to stay up under Monk. We are on course to go down under Tony Pulis. Are you honestly saying that Maybe no would have kept us up? Honestly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 11 minutes ago, mcmigo said: Intent and style sadly do not equal wins. Garry Monk - 3 wins from 11 this season Tony Pulis - 0 wins from 5, and counting. Come on. Monk came up against the Luton’s, Rotherham’s and Wycombe’s while Pulis has had to compete with the Norwich’, Swansea’s and Reading’s. You’re kidding yourself if you cannot see more organization, commitment and better performances from individual players already. And remember that Monk had a year to produce those results and the chance to bring in players, while Pulis has only just joined us and can only pick from what he inherited. Ridiculous comparison. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly and truly believe that one of the best coaches and managers in the world couldn’t get much more out of our squad than one of the most negative and defensive managers in the world ?

stuben Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I know he has not had a run of games but Brown as been very disappointing. I hoped he would pull the strings in midfield, play through balls for people to run on to but his touch looks awful and sometimes he looks lacklustre.

Kendo Nagasaki Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Well thought that was a decent performance if Pelupessy puts that in we come away with 3 points. Fine margins. Created chances and looked a threat on the break. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 We have 9 points from 16 games. This squad is about 15th best in this league and 15th place is currently on 20 points from 16 games. Therefore if we had 11 points more that would be par for the course. 6 of those got deducted. The other 5 should have come from Luton, Rotherham and Wycombe... not the last 5 games. Kind of expected that you'll get 3 points from 5 games where 4 of them are vs the top 5 when you're a lower mid table team. Judge Pulis after we've played Huddersfield, Barnsley, Forest, Derby, Coventry (twice), Wycombe, Boro and Blackburn. Thats the next 9 games.. if we're still in trouble after those games then yeah its probably fair to criticise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoved up front as a sole striker for ten minutes isn't really a fair chance to judge him on Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not doing much much worse either. Monk got 12 points from 11 this season. Pulis has 3 from 5. I expect Pulis PPG to be better by Christmas, and if not as I said then questions need to be asked if it was the wrong appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
