mcmigo Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The new manager has made a catastrophic start in every respect, but has never been relegated. I am sure he has a plan that will turn around the decline as he has at other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The appointment of Pulis shows that we don't have any sort of strategy at the club. The best run clubs have a certain way of playing, all player recruitment is based around that style and they replace managers who will implement the style they want. Monk wanted to play 3 at the back with wong backs, so we don't sign a left back, Pulis wants to play 4 at the back but no natural left back. Our problem has been scoring goals, so we get a manager that has a reputation for making us hard to beat. We had 2 clean sheets in the matches before Pulis arrived. They type of football Pulis is getting us to play wont keep us up. I hope that this is not his medium term plan. I just hope we make some signings in January that Pulis wants so he can get us to play they way he actually wants us to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took about 90 seconds to take the corner even though we were 2-0 down. Have you ever seen a team show less intensity to get back into a game once they go behind? At one point their keeper went to the corner flag to retrieve the ball. He came back. Stopped for a drink. Put the ball down and just stood there. None of our players remonstrated with the ref. Must have took about 2 mins out the game. I thought my screen had froze at one point. Bizzarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with most of that, but the depressing thing is that this is how Pulis wants to play. It doesn't get any more expansive or attacking than this. It's a very short term appointment, DC bet our championship status on this terrible appointment. Panic recruitment on the cards for January and whatever foundations Pulis is allowed to lay to suit his dogshit football, will take time to undo. Much though I don't like Pulis, Chansiri is the problem. There is no vision or medium/long term planning, such as has been the problem during his entire tenure leading to gradual decline. Of course I want Pulis out of the club, but everytime we change manager has a lesser effect as the main problem remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The players look tired because he’s playing the same core most games. He doesn’t rate or trust half of them. We’ve effectively got a 14 man squad to pick from. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full fathom five Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 10 hours ago, full fathom five said: We were relegated the moment DC decided to give Monk this season to waste what little money we had on ******** poor or injured players. How much have the likes of Monk's "hungry, good eggs" contributed this season? Dunkley, Marriott, Kachunga, Brown, Flint, Paterson, the resigning of Pelupessy, the youngsters we've seen nothing of and his coaching team, what a legacy. All an absolute criminal waste of our very limited budget. Will our chairman ever learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
