Take the shakles off the players , get them back to their free scoring febuary ways . we have blown the auto spots , they are gone , we are now looking at the play-offs . It is therefore OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE that we get some kind of form back NOW . If we don't we'll be lucky not to get humiliated in them.
I really couldn't give a monkey's if we win 1-0 3-0 5-4 or 9-8 so long as we score more goals thats what matters, we were doing that , but we were letting in a goal or 2 a game ..... but tightening up the backline hasn't worked as we have lost our goal threat as well.
we need to get back to that time, and style NOW
who knows if you can get them playing like that again we may still go up, but we wont the way we are playing at the moment

well said dave. im pretty sick of the tinkering with the team, as it clearly has not worked for 6 games now. a win the other night would have almost guaranteed a play-off place and put us right in the auto picture, instead of going for the game, pulis gave us a tactical masterclass in starting sidibe in place of fuller. look at where we find ourselves now, looking over our shoulder at the play-off pack and relying on others around us eg. watford, brizzle, and hull to f**k up their games in hand for us to get auto.
give the opposition hell for the last 4 games, win all 4 and we will go up auto for sure. come on stoke!!!!

well said dave Pulis needs to get the lads on fire for Saturday, we cant afford to keep dropping valuable points. One things for certain, he cant play Sidibe and Ameobi up front again!

Pulis team talk for Saturday - "We can lose and still go up."

I have to say after the HUGELY dissapointing results over the last few weeks I also think automatic p[romotion i9s getting to the 'beyond us' stage. Even though the league table looks close we are on such a downward spiral I'd be surprised if turned it round for auto.
I just hope the players regroup and have one hell of a go at the play offs, assuming it'll come to that. But we need to play to our strengths and not worry about the other lot.
I would pick WBA and Hull at the moment cos us Watford and Brizzle seem to be choking too often.

Maybe, if it's just a question of 'going for it', this selection would show some positive intent -
1. Rooney (recalled from loan)
2. Pericard (recalled from loan), 3. Sidibe, 4. Parkin, 5. Pugh
6. Cresswell, 7. Gallagher, 8. Bothroyd, 9. Phillips
10. Ameobi, 11. Fuller.
.........OR, omit Pericard and play with just 10 men? ;D
