Johnny A 43 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Pulis's only claim to fame is never having been relegated. So his cv can proudly still contain that clause! Back on the Managers Merry-go-round again, no doubt with a sizeable payoff? And soon to be joined by another regular rider, Steve Bruce? Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 There squad has got to be so low on confidence if we get that first goal and early they will crumble. Just got to weather the storm as they will fly out the traps due the manager sacking. Link to post Share on other sites

I would have liked him to have remained in charge for one more game. I think they will be relieved he's gone and therefore more up for the game, unfortunately... Suspect it has also put a spanner in the works with our preparation as we will have been practising tactics for a Pulis match. Link to post Share on other sites

Suspect it has also put a spanner in the works with our preparation as we will have been practising tactics for a Pulis match. I know he wasn't in charge long but I wonder if the lad coming in will change their preparation and tactics much for the game vs. what Pulis has done. Still, some of these lads are not getting paid are they? Getting rid of a manager who's only been there 5 minutes might not be the boost they really wanted. If he'd been there for a season with fans in the stadium throwing dinosaurs and all that, they might be somewhat relieved. As it is, I reckon this game is there for the taking, we just need to focus on what we want to do. It'll be a bit of an unknown until we see the team-sheet and what has changed between their last few games and tonight, then we'll probably ease our way into the game for the first 10-15. Or we go out and be ruthless and sod whatever preparation they've done and try and kick them whilst they're down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. They realised Pulis is a six-foot turd in a baseball cap and decided not to give him any more time to employ his unique brand of anti-football. However much I hate Pulis, knowing Wednesday & Chansiri, what has almost certainly happened here is Pulis has said something to Chansiri about the squad that he didn't want to hear. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Guarantee a few home truths came out. Now we all know Pulis will blame anyone but himself, but with facts like players not getting paid Chansiri won’t like being told to get a grip. Added to that if Tony wanted his usual kick backs for players he brings in things we’re always going to explode. Anyway I’ve always like Wednesday I hope they turn their season around starting Saturday 👍 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 One of the things Pulis said in public in complaint was that they had 6 centre-halves and not a single left-back. I'm surprised it was a complaint, too. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Be ruthless get into them hard and fast and get a 7 goal lead by half time, that will deflate the Owls! Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,817 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I've relented and bought a streaming pass. Better be a good game now! I also sent an email to the EFL to remind them it's not a bank holiday 😛 Link to post Share on other sites
