Ukcstokie..... I posted this a few weeks back under the tag 'The definition of insanity is.......'
Lets get back to this thread on the final day of the season when things STILL havent changed shall we
Doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting a different result......
I listened to the game on 5 live and cringed at the amount of times Steve Stone and the other numpty commentating said 'another long aimless ball from (the just insert Stoke palyers name here)
I can envisage this ending VERY messily UNLESS Pulis decides to change tack and actually set the team up to attack in a variety of ways and NOT use this god awful long ball tactic.....
And before anyone starts whining about 'this injury and that injury' the players are PROFESSIONALS and should have the ability and skill levels to adapt to a particular game and situation.
The person who works on said skill levels and tactics is Pulis.
The buck stops with him - full stop end of sentance.
THink about this just for a moment - in your own profession - if you were to ignore the guidelines you are supposed to follow in your own line of work -what would the consequences be...?
Disciplinary action ?, a bollockin off your boss?, warnings?
You follow what the big boss tells you because that is the way you get success.
Those out there in the football have sussed out how to combat our aerial threat now and we actually carry very little else.
Failing to do this will in my opinion and up like the situation Pulis had down at Portsmouth and Gillingham and to a lesser extent Bristol City - i.e. accrimoniously.
Your skating on VERY thin ice Pulis and we can all here the ice CRACKING!
If I was in Coates' shoes I would make the changes necessary to avoid relegation and if it means gettin rid of Pulis - then so be it.
Whichever names I suggest to replace will be berated by people on here so I wont even bother...
Its the club that Pulis is gambling with and the dreams of thousands of Potters fans up and down the country and abroad
You cant tell me his tactics willl change... if they do then great but I seriously doubt it.
I justy wish the bloke would read these pages to see the frustration of SO MANY FANS that go week in week out and can see the deficiencies.
If only a handful of people saw them then fair play but its week after week we hear the same stuff. This cant be co-incidence
Please sort this out Pulis for the FUTURE of our beloved team.
