For the first time this season........

i'm genuinely concerned, i'm not a doom merchant and i still think we can stay up, but unless situations are dealt with drastically, we might not.

I'm a Pulis fan, we all know he has his methods of approach, and the fact he got us here playing that way, and has took 20 points this season, shows it CAN work, but it's that lack of another approach that seems an alarming problem, the problems seem alarming apparent in the final third. And whilst the throwings and long balls can cause problems with our physical and arial attributes, if it isn't working we need another approach to adopt, and at the moment there is not much evidence to suggest we have one.

I'm still very confident we can put ourselves near 40 points on our remaining home games alone, but this season, for me, its going to be 45-48 points required too stay up, and unless we start producing something away, i think where going too fall short.

Today we had the posession, but didn't use it well, we have too many players who will die for the cause, but quite frankly aren't offering anything to the table, cressy is a tireless worker, but he's not a match winner, and whilst i think our starting XI is competitive, our back-up players aren't players who look like turning a game.

The premiership isn't forgiving, and if you don't do the defensive basics, you don't win games, today the defence, was stretched, allowed the opponents far too much room, and couldn't do the basics.

But we must remain positive, there is going to be stoke fans moaning on here and throughout the country, about Pulis, the team, and the approach, but in the end of the day, as frustrating as it is, i agree, we can't change the approach, or the side, all we can do as fans is play our part, and stay positive and back the team, and the fans were a credit today.

Role on Man Utd.
