Get in there. Much needed and now sets up to have a real go in the latter half of the season. Nobody below us winning as well, nearly to 40 points. If we can sort out our away form now, could turn into a really good season.

The thing is, it's already been another decent season for Stoke. 33pts from 26 games is a decent return so far.
If only certain folk could accept that sometimes we will have a run of disappointing results, we wouldn't get all the silly over-reactions that characterise next door.
I'm sure it'll be exactly the same next year though ;D In fact, if anyone could be arsed (I can't), I'd bet you'd find pretty much the same "Should Pulis go" threads and posts from 2011-2012 when we had a bad run!

Great stuff. A deserved win against an in-form team which gets a bit of a monkey off our back.

I didn't think he was as bad as was made out, couple of good runs. Hard when you've been out for a while as well.

Great win, thought Shotton played very well.
Didn't matter how it came, the 3 points were the only important thing.

He managed to beat that pacy young fullback Ian Harte, which is like one of us beating Tony Dorigo, twice (thanks to BarryShitpeas for remembering and correcting me on Twatter) and didn't put one decent ball into the box

Harte is a decent player too, Champions League semi-finalist. He did have another average game, but that was a great bit of football from him. Probably the best bit of the first half.

Why do we always look so desperate in our play though We all too often treat the ball like a hot potato.

Before we beat West Ham in the FA Cup quarter final, the same threads existed in the 2010-11 season too. Every single season people have suggested Pulis should go. I think the promotion season is maybe the only one where people haven't questioned his position, but even then we had mongs chanting "Pulis what's the score?" when Plymouth were beating us... We went on to win.

Don't think we look desperate, we just play that fucking diagonal ball from defence to front too often. We look so much better when we build up through midfield and using the 2 wingers. Hopefully we'll go on a bit of a run now and as the confidence increases we'll mix it up a more and play through and round teams a more often.

Saying Ian Harte is a decent player based on making an appearance in the Champions League Semi-Final is like saying Djimi Traore is a top footballer because he's won the Champions League. That's an awful reason Oners, utterly awful. It's pointless beating a slow fullback time and time again if he doesn't do anything with the ball afterwards. Time and time again, he hit the first man with his attempted crosses and that isn't good enough.

We went on to win. Suitable progress for the "Pulis Out" mob is a top half finish. We've been in the top half for at least half the season and still are. Will they suddenly fall silent if we finish 10th and hit their target? I doubt it
