If we put in the effort, things will drop for us, so says our Tone in the Sentinel today.
How about, if we play a bit better football with pace, skill and a smidgeon of adventure, a game plan designed to win and not to avoid defeat, we may actually surprise teams and not need luck, things dropping for us, or however you want to describe it to secure a much needed win?
There's no doubt he has done a good job this season, even if it has not always been easy on the eye for the aesthete in me, but it isn't half hard to take to the bloke, his soundbites, his tactics and his stubborn, and sometimes downright bizarre, selection policy!

jezza, why do all the positive things you suggest when all you really need is a bit of luck and good fortune?  at Pulis's words yet again! |

Maybe this is aimed at the players and is a figurative arm around their shoulder. Telling them they're whank or their boss is wank probably isn't the best approach at the minute.
Personally I hope he spends all day dreaming up quotes which send the sensitive souls on this site into apoplexy.

If it is aimed at the players, then say it in team meetings, not in the local paper, whose reports are surely aimed at disseminating information on the club to supporters of the team?
Would it have harmed to say that we need four wins so we are going to go out with a positive approach to do our damnedest to get them? Not, well, if we get a bit of luck and keep plugging away, things may drop for us and we may fluke a top two finish? It's all about perception.
As for my being sensitive, growing up in Longton in the 70s with the name Jeremy ensured all my sensitivity was beaten out of me at a very early age!! ;D

The whole of the watching football world knows that the teams that will be promoted from the Championship will be the those that make the fewest cock ups. And then Pulis compounds the issue by suggesting that promotion is as much about luck as it is about managerial tactics and team selection.
Football is the spiritual home of hackneyed clichés Brian but anyone that over cooks the part played by "Lady Luck" in a team making it to the Promised Land deserves to be literally shot at dawn without a last supper.
