We have to remain positive & keep supporting the team, the last two games have seen poor performances & IMO Saturday was a point gained when we looked like gaining nothing. It is not the time to lose faith & slag of the manager, who in fairness has got us into this fantastic position. Now is the time to use the squad & a time when we see how good & brave the manager is. Maybe even the upcoming suspensions can have a positive effect – tired players getting a rest & fringe players coming in, fresh with points to prove. The run in will be tough & apart from strikers we have good cover, we also have a fantastic team spirit ( so well done to Tony for that) which will do us no harm at all. I believe we can do it, which coming from someone who, at the end of last Sept. would have settled for survival, is saying something. The premiership dream is now so very close to becoming reality.

agree with everything you said..............apart from the disliking pulis bit  i fail to see why people still dislike him, but i suppose people have different opinions/views on him, i think that alot of people have disliked him in the past, because of his " negative hoofball tactics " which in my opinion hasn't been a regular thing this season, and some excellent football has been played. He's bought well, he's built a great fighting team spirit, i just hope he can now defy all odds, finish the job off and take us up. |

Perhaps it his stubborness that I dislike, I just wish he'd realise thing are not working & change things sooner - like leaving it 'till 70 mins before bringing Gally on. If he remains positive we can do it. All that said I'd settle for nine mindblowing boring negative, hoofball wins right now ;D

I never have, and probably never will like Pulis, but credit for what's happend this season, we're getting goals. Still I feel we have the same problem, and it's a Pulis problem. Some players will always be used, no matter how bad they play, and that is a problem when results must go our way. Stubborness is the right thing to call it, and it may cost us, like I think it did last season.
Why hasn't Phillips got a few minutes now and then earlier in the season? Mama shouldn't have played as much as he has, Cresswell shouldn't have played on the left all season and why doesn't he play Gallagher now. We've seen it before. Central defenders and midfielders playing at both left and right back and strikes as wingers. I don't think that's the way to achive success.
How fun it would be if he could do the right things the next two months. I can't say I've been surprised by any team he's sent on the pitch to start a game since he came here, maybe with the exception of the game against WBA on 04-05-04, which we won 4-1.
