Don't think the majority are fickle optimist, he's done a good job to get us here but tonight he went a long way to undoing all his good work by fecking up the team selection.
Having a view isn't fickle mate it's just honest.

Never liked him but praised him when he was doing good and will slate him tonight as it was woeful.

i'm on the fence with pulis.
i don't like his pessimistic outlook but he's got results for us this season. i feel he's bottled it and worries too much about losing.
with fuller and ameobi up front we should have enough but pulis doesn't see it this way

There is a subtle difference between optimisim and blind allegiance.

1. Those who know me know I have never liked, and never will like, the bloke. That is consistent.
2. Nevertheless, I doff my cap to his achievements, especially before the big money loanees came, in getting us into a position where we could go up.
3. After Coates stumped up some serious wedge in the second half of this season, we should be challenging for the top two.
4. For whatever reason, since mid-February, we have been very poor, despite bringing in supposedly better quality players. We have become negative, have scored few goals and have underperformed at a time when the title was really there for the taking. Pulis picks the team, he dictates tactics - ergo, he must take some of the blame for our dip in form just as he can take some of the credit for our march into the top two before that.
5. It looks like we face an uphill struggle to remain in the top two now (we could drop to 4th after Wednesday's games, with Hull a point below us and with a game in hand). With the squad we now have, that is verging on the unacceptable.
6. Unless we get some kind of form going now, we may even get pipped for the play-offs, or at least go into them with little confiedence of progressing on the back of a sorry run of form and with a manager whose knee jerk reaction to any tough game is to revert to negative long ball football and is stubborn to excess in sticking with his favourite players despite clear evidence that there are better options in the squad.

I think I've been pretty consistent in my views on here which roughly mirror those expressed by Jezza above.
I take absolutely no pleasure in the fact that the concerns I have consistently raised on here about Mr Pulis - - no plan A and a bottler in big games and selections based on loyalty/stubborness rather than what is best for the team - are coming true. In fact there is no need to bend with the wind because there is a horrible predicatability about how the season is starting to pan out.
