We've been playing poorly and inconsistently since the 2nd half of the 12/13 season and with the likes of Pepe Mel and Alan Irvine who've been at the helm it's astonishing we're still actually IN the Prem!
If people want to vent and blow off some steam after a frustrating result; that's fair enough.
But lets not make accusations that people who were glad to see an experienced coach get the job are Happy clapper Pulis supporters.
I support the Albion and can still take off the blue and white tinted glasses once in a while and make balanced arguments, such as while I don't want to see defensive line ups all the time, we were all glad of the period of stability we had under Hodgson where he had us playing very cagey stuff as well.
In our attacking play in seasons past we relied heavily on certain players to carry us, namely Odemwingie and Lukaku, and now that we don't have a striker who's hitting the heights of those two we're struggling again.
I'd struggle to put forward a convincing argument to sack Pulis as things stand now. But as a football club we need to be planning for who to replace him at the end of the season imo.
Changing things then makes far more sense.
