It's strange that TP only makes changes late on in the game, like clockwork. 10 mins or less before time. He's predictable- and could do with thinking outside the box a bit!!

In any given game this season, no well how well and frequently we've had the ball on the ground, there is a certain amount of time that we're going to use the long ball as a get out. Given our style of play over the years and the fact that we've had beattie and mama in the side to make that an effective tactic, it is ingrained in the side to an extent. Pulis thinks that going with camara and fuller up front will mean that we lose out on all that long ball, and that no matter how much he encourages them to alter their play, the players will still revert to using the long ball when under pressure, that we will concede even more possession, and that a few matches is not going to be enough time to remould his side. Therefore he plays the player he thinks is the best approximation of the players he is missing.

Therefore he plays the player he thinks is the best approximation of the players he is missing. Which is fair enough. But then why after 60 minutes of Cresswell being his usual doesn't he experiment to see if they can play together?

I'm just just stating my guess of Pulis' thought process. As for why he didn't bring him on earlier I'm as clueless as the rest.. maybe he lost track of time?
