I agree with that Serpico....I would not have played Sidibe...He's hopeless. I reckon had Fuller started we would have got a goal early on when they looked a little shaky for a period at the back, if Pulis starts with mama in the next game he needs his head looking at.

The dee........Fullers appearance changed the whole game. so why wait until the 63rd minute to bring him on for fucks sake - managerial decision again?

I'm telling you that Fuller has not been well all week....This was why he wasn't played from the start.
It's arguable as to whether or not he should have played from the start.

The damage was done first half and Fuller was brought on too late. We lost That is the end of the matter.

I'd call it 60-40 Stoke, it just wasn't our night from the minute that ball rolled down the goal line. We're an average team in a poor to average league. Long way to go.

How many more times does someone need to explain that Fuller was not fit to play for 90 minutes as he has just recovered from a virus.
Why is Griffin being blamed for the 1st goal as it was Pugh that was sold a dummy by their right winger.
Oh yes and Fuller missed the best chance of the whole game , don't here anyone on here calling him a twat!!!!!!

mumf: "two chance goals" - what was chance about a run down the right followed by a cross to the far post for someone to have a free header - chance?? It was schoolbuy stuff. The second should have been defended before the ball was lobbed back into the box - again, schoolboy stuff.
So even the 'chance goals' remark is utter tripe!

Post by RAF on Apr 7, 2008 22:02:07 GMT
Because the bloke who actually scored the goal was left unmarked by Griff who as right back should have been marking him. Although I do blame Pugh equally for getting skinned by someone with far more pace, nouse, and skill.

The dee...The players do need to take some responsibilty you know....
There wasn't 11 Pulis' on the pitch.

Post by mumf14 on Apr 7, 2008 22:04:11 GMT
And RAF is spot about Griffen...He was the last defender caught ball watching instead of the player who came up behind him and scored.

Mumf - you've lost it mate.
The tactic, quite obviously, first half was just to hoof it up to sidibe and amoeba. Its not the players fault for that, its what theyve been told to do!!
You have GOT to admit Pulis has to take responsibility for us losing tonights match.

Because he was not well...!!!! In Pulis' post match interview Im sure he contradicted himself, will have to listen again, but Im he said something along the lines of "we had to persuade Rick to play" and in the same sentence said "he was desperate to play" i think the "ill" excuse was mind games with palace and it's back fired on him because the game was out of our grasp by the time he came on.

I think manager and players alike need to regroup after tonight and sort it out. How they go about it together will be the difference come the end of the season.

RAF...Yes that's fair...Two chance goals. Mumf, I can't actually see what point you're trying to make? We went to Norwich, won 1-0 after being outplayed for most of the matches and creating 3 chances to Norwich's 15. I don't recall you bringing luck into the equation on that occasion?

I think Griffen should be stripped of the captaincy....
He was crap tonight.

Griffin is not captain material, end of.

"I think by dropping Sidibe second half was a tactical piece of brilliance and we almost overhauled Palace."
So what would not playing the useless clown in the first place constitute then?
"Pulis has got us to top of league fgs!!! Who would have thought that last year!?"
Er, with an open cheque book? Possibly around the 22,365 mark I reckon!
As much as I hate the bloke, if we had had Warnock in charge since February we would now be sitting on a £50 million jackpot.

Didn't Sidibe have our closest chance in the game or does basing your view on fact not count?
