Yesterday's performance.

[Londonbaggie1968]

Leicester, Holmleigh and Tipperary, excellent posts and therapeutic!

Fact is Pulis plays the majority of the squad out of position and he appears afraid to set the team up with any organised attacking intent and just concentrates on a defensive mode. Absolutely terrible to watch, even with the occasional set piece goal. He needs to deal head-on with creative and troubled players much better and look to get the best out of them. We could do so much better utilising the creative talent in the squad against certain opposition, without having to compromise defensively. We have had one of the kindest run of opening fixtures ever in the PL and tougher times are approaching fast.

I feel most of the posts are fair and it is bizarre that against a team who had failed to score TP went in with 3 defensive midfielders. One thing I would point out is that a fair few players had played twice in the break. I may be wrong but didn't Rondon play in South America twice for Venezuela? If so no wonder he looked knackered - the flight time alone would kill most of us never mind the jet-lag. Maybe he just should have been rested?

Did anyone after looking at the team sheet think we would do any good...trusted stalwarts and playmakers left on the bench.

Pulis is a creature of habit the same as last year when Stoke were playing worse than Brighton are this term, he did the very same thing and sat back in defence allowing the freedom of the park, there were three games on the trot last year where threw possible points away by sitting back.

No one will ever convince me that Pulis is anything other than a total moron.
