Tony Pulis & Palace Turnaround

Mon Mar 31, 2014 9:58 am

Seems to have been a great bit of business by Palace. In fairness, with his Premiership experience Pulis has done a great job for Palace.

Prior to Pulis: Played 11 Won 1 Draw 1 Lost 9 For 6 Against 21

Since Pulis: Played 20 Won 7 Draw 3 Lost 10 For 14 Against 18

Although they are not scoring many goals, neither are they conceding many. They have many 1-0 wins.

Let's hope that come Saturday we can score a few and beat them ! :ayatollah:

Rather be in the championship watching Oles style of football than in the premiership watching the brand of football employed by Pulis / Malky / Big Sam.

Don't know what you are watching but we have been playing total shit football for weeks. 5 at the back and hardly any creativity apart from lucky goals like Saturday.

Losing is not entertaining.

No creativity :lol:

Weve scored 10 in the last 4 games and are creating plenty, its stopping them at the other end is the problem but give me that over sticking 11 men in your own half any day.

Your myths about how defensive Mackay was bore me.

If Mackay lost 3 nil to the Jacks you'd be crying about it for weeks. Under Ole it seems to have been forgotten.

So Malky being defensive was a "myth".

Are you laughing though?.

You moan about people going on about Mackay, then you bring him up just to discredit him.

No result under Ole has been as good as Fulham, Man City, Man United or the Jacks.

Those are the games I will remember after the seasons end.

I won't think "Oh what a lovely battering we got against Liverpool, defensively clueless but fabio did a few runs up the wing, that was great".

As opposed to the battering we took off Liverpool at their place where the game was finished after 30 minutes.

Same against Arsenal and Southampton. Dead and buried before they even brought out the half time oranges, and nothing to cheer about.

It was getting to the stage the only thing we had to cheer about was crossing the half way line under Malky.

How do you work that out?

I was only speaking on behalf of myself, and I am sure Jinks was too.

It was hyperthetical on my behalf anyway as I wont be there next season whatever the division. Tans not getting another penny of mine. Putting season tickets up 16% then offering the extra money to the players as a bonus. Disgusting.

Chris, because if fans would prefer to watch exciting/attacking football which I agree it is at this moment, in the Championship next season, than watch what u say would be boring Premier League Football under Tony Pulis, Big Sam etc then they will all turn up next season and we wont have a problem in getting 28,000 plus crowds.

The truth is the minute we are relegated our support will go down by at least 10,000 every home game, which proves my point.

I speak for myself not 33000 others. Under malky even if we won 1 nil it was rubbish to watch. Plenty of championship sides battered our parking double decker bus tactics last season.. I like watching a passing game where we try and score from open play and not sit there for most of the game watching us hoof it from our area back to the opposition for them to have more goes.
I watched enough hoof ball and bad passing in the lower leagues for years but i expect a better standard of football in the championship and premiership. My opinion :thumbup:

Whereas Pulis football is not the best, I still think it is 10 times more exciting than Malkys drab football. I think Pulis could of worked wonders with the players we have, we have a better squad than palace that's for sure. I would of chosen Pulis of Ole all day long, but Ole is still a better choice than malky who's football was painful to watch. Malky going was the best thing to happen for this club as he did not have the quality to take us to the next level, whereas Pulis and Ole have.

Re: Tony Pulis & Palace Turnaround

Mon Mar 31, 2014 3:09 pm

I respect Malky for getting us to the League cup final after inheriting such a small squad, then winning the Championship with the following year with the squad he assembled. But Crystal Palace away was the worst performance I can ever remember, they were there for the taking but we sat back in our own half and duly lost, at that stage I lost all faith in his ability to keep us up. Well this time round I think we can just edge them to victory via the odd goal probably another high scoring nail biter. :bluescarf:

I know you are not clued up Annis but someone who does know how to do this should change the word "Natman" to read "Tan Man Red".

The same as Noone changes to No one.

Get Owain on it :thumbup:

I know we haven't been officially relegated yet, but I'm all prepared for Championship football! It will definitely be more entertaining next season and also more fixtures to attend..especially mid week football! Hopefully season 15/16 we will be back in the premier league and giving it another go! :thumbup:

obviously he doesnt watch city, as on saturday we had 3 defenders until ole changed it! scored 3 against pool more than anyone else probably? shiiiite football was what we were watching under malky!! and for such a defensive minded manager he wasnt doing very well at time of his demise? second worst record behind fulham!!! :D
