Trusting Pulis is one thing. Having him manage your football team entirely another.
The man strangles the last inch of flair out of his players and plays a team of robots. Gets results (or at least gets just enough points) but makes football lovers weep.

The same manager who kept Palace up against all odds. Who has an excellent track record in the Premier league or views of football football fans. Hard choice er.

I would trust the fans who have to pay and watch what they serve up each week.
WBA are like a Special teams club.
Play for set pieces.

Trust football fans lol


We had a load calling for Hughton's head the season before last.

All depends what you pay your money for. The football at the Hawthorns is consistently dire

Think i would much rather trust Pulis over thickle football fans

Pulis is overly fond of playing 4 central defenders across the back, did it at Stoke and does it at West Brom. Overly defensive, great tactics for when you want to stave off relegation but not so much when the aim is for promotion.

He isn't aiming for promotion though is he?. His job is to keep West Brom in the Pi

Read all the WBA replies to this - I hope we get this one done - can see him being 1st choice based on WBA fans' views:

Caught out of position a lot. You can see that on the video. A full back should not be in that position. I don't think he is going to improve out foul count.

PS: I did think we should get a left-sided wing-back, a left-sided midfielder that could play full back at a pinch. So I would not rule out the possibility of him competing for a position on the left side of midfield and playing as well as Bong. Equivalent to Brady of Norwich, perhaps?

You're doing a lot of assuming about position from that video. All the clips are zoomed in so without seeing the rest of the pitch and the 10 seconds that lead to the incident you cannot be sure whatsoever as to why he's in that position each time. I'd rather go on the opinions of WBA fans that have seen him a lot than your opinion on a video which shows very little myself....

My best mate is a WBA season ticket holder and he only has good things to say. The fact he's not comfortably over 6ft and attacks at will are the reasons TP seems not to like him, but as an attacking full back at our level, he seems to believe that we won't find much better. Apparently he is an exceptional crosser too.

Actually we have a shortage of real quality midfielders...we lose Stephens or kayal and we're facked...it's that simple!!!

Agree

I still think we are 1 more short.
