I am a supporter of Pulis as long as we get results. I will put up with all sorts of crap, but as long as we get 1 or 3 points and stay in this league I don't care - I have waited all my life.
But please, please, can we try and play some football at the same time - I am fed up with Rory Delap long throws and hard tackling and want to see more - a plan B which involves more running and through balls to Fuller, like the fantastic goal I saw him score against Villa.
Although Pulis signed a bunch of big defensive midfielders and defenders, we do have some skill in Soares and Whelan and I can't wait for Lawrence to return to bring a bit of class back to the squad.
I was excited when we signed Kitson, because he is has class, but he doesn't fit the bill for TP because he can't hold the ball up with his back to goal.
I went to Man U today and our support was awesome. Unfortunately, the team looked slow, strangely uncommitted and were turned far too easy by the Man U fairies. I think that they were beated from the first whistle, which is the mindset we are getting into for away games.
So, keep on picking up points and I will be happy and I will support the team win or lose, but - just for one game - can we just have the confiedence to pass the ball and go for it! Or I think we might all get tired of the Pulis survival game before long, even if we survive.

OK Dave, I have been to all home games and one or two away, including today. Most of the goals we have scored have been from Delap throws. There is no width, because we have shrunk the pitch at home and we play for throws,not crosses. Time and again we squander possession by hoofing the ball up the pitch aimlessly? Apart from Soares who has shown promise, who else is impressing you with our football?

i am a supporter of pullis if we get results???????? thats just like the glory supporters of man u fans
WTF naff of and watch west brazil if you want attractive football.
all us stoke fans want to stay up which ever way is possible, without rory we would be seven goals down and god knows how many point on the board.
rory is a legend and we wouldnt have so much media attension without his throws.

Look I am not having a go, I just want us to play with more freedom and confidence and with a more adventurous team selection. We do have the players if played in the right way - but where are the footballers in Pulis' team selection? I can only think of Fuller and Higgy who can pass a ball with any confidence? He played the same team today that we lucky to escape with a point at Wigan. Sorrenson had a nightmare today, but he was on fire at the JJB.
We have needed a midfield play-maker for around 30 years now and we still haven't got one, at least until Lawrence returns.

Chess you wont see us playing open adventurous football this season for two reasons a) Its not TP's preferred style and b) We dont really have the players and thats because TP went for a strategy and bought players to fit it.
If we survive it will be interesting to see if TP replaces some of the bruisers with a bit of flair and pace in the summer. I have my doubts.
For someone who was brought up on a fare of Hudson and Greenhoff I sort of know where you are coming from.
But I am happy to enjoy the big time warts and all and hope we progress next season

Oh my god, my post has attracted a tiger's fan! Hull has been making silk purses out of sow's ears all season. Can't wait to see them stuffed by the other side of Manc tomorrow.
As for Sorrenson today, well he was flapping around like a windmill for most of the game so I don't know which game you have seen kingdeano. To be fair, he is usually one of our sure bets, but not today.
