I'd happily take (Preston?) at home on (New Year's Day?) over that today.
You know what I'm on about.

The Preston game was a low.
But our ground was in a lunar landscape and our total annual income was less than we pay players that live in foreign countries each month today.
There is now no bloody excuse. We were the 29th richest club in the world last year.

Pulisball minus Ricardo fuller was equally as dull if not way more direct.
The two are cut from exactly the same cloth.

I can't stand TPs football, but you can't compare the two. TP is a far greater manager in every single way.

The difference is that there was usually a point to Pulisball, grim as it could be. You got the sense he knew what he was doing. You don’t get that with Rowett.

The worrying thing for me is that Pulis had no intention of trying to win 80% of his matches, whereas Rowett IS trying to win them

Some are forgetting asaba and greenacre as wingers! They were utter shit days. Pulis ball was as bad as this, his saving grace was that in fuller he had a player that could turn a game on its head with magic. This side has absolutely nothing exciting about it. Not one player has the potential to grasp a game and win it for us. It’s a huge jan for rowett. He has to bring in that player or fans simply won’t go

These days there is hardly any point in putting crosses into the box at all. Not many are able to that either by the way. I guess Rowett will be thrilled if our four defenders and Woods can achieve 300 passes between them per game and we can grind out a 0-0 draw as well.

Pulis' man management is clearly on a bit of a different level to Rowett's. Pulis had the ability to recognise when he had a rough diamond and could the best out of them. Give them a bit of a free role in the side and let them do things.
Rowett believes his own hype and slates his own players in public.

is there a master plan to create a situation where TP will be welcomed back with open arms?
How close are we?

Without fuller and the introduction of crouch to the team encouraged us to be way more direct I just didn't get why he moved away from the system he used in 2010-2011 when we had flair on the wings with pennant and etherington then pace and power with Jones and Fuller up top we could of always signed a rondon type player as a back up to Jones and looked for a replacement for Fuller.

From demba ba to Peter crouch.

Don't know what you are all moaning at.... Clean sheet away from home and yet another point towards safety
oh well you all hated binary football if I remember correctly and no one was impressed when we were watching 4 go past us every 6 weeks, avoiding relegation is a plus point for the new scfc of the last 3 years.
Start looking at how the ship is being steered not the route it is taking, 6 years of being a stable well run club to a joke of a club.

PulisBall after he shafted 100m on it was a fuckin disgrace and nearly finished me off attending.

Gary Rowett is making Pulis look like Pep Guardiola at the moment.

"Pulisball" was/is the label given to describe his negative brand of football and was used by us, West Brom and now Boro fans. There was obviously some great games under Pulis, but Pulisball at its very worst was every bit as bad as this garbage.
