CircleSeven Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 That’s all well and good but how does it compare to Monks last games in charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So over those 2 weeks, an average of 5 points per week. Since then, a miserable return of less than a point a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Makes terrible reading, the real league table is even worse. Bottom of the league. Dear me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Monk is clearly the man for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because folks (deliberately) sabotaged the last one with all kinds of Monk nonsense So - I thought we should just have a thread with the current form table since Pulis started so we can discuss how he's doing, how he can improve, how we expect things to play out etc 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evaowl Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 That league table shows that, based on results, things haven't got better - statistically worse on a PPG basis. My view is that the performances have been better under Pulis - but the bar was low. Perhaps more importantly, have we seen enough in these 5 games to suggest TP can do enough to keep us up? Probably - but if he does it will be close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Well i would still take Pulis over Monk regardless of the form table. Monk only had 1 plan. He was tactically inept. Pulis has added something that we were missing. We seem more solid defensively despite shipping 2 goals today. had monk been in charge we would have been on the wrong end of a 4 or 5 goal drubbing 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 A five game form table reappears just as one of my favourite Ennio Morricone song's lets rip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issues people liking Pulis over monk. I like Tony Pulis, I could listen to him talk all day. I hope he is a huge success here but it’s weird people keep making these odd statements that are the opposite of the actual evidence. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will confess I am struggling here. we beat second placed Bournemouth easily only one week before Pulis took over. what’s changed which makes beating good teams now not possible? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
