Jimzk5 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 West brom are where we were under mcleish, a chairman who doesn't want to spend money to get them in the top 10 and only willing to hire managers happy to go with that. take berahino out that team and without looking, I'd guess a majority of that squad are close to 30 or over, so pretty soon they will need a squad overhaul. To go with a new manager to go with the fans expectations of where they think they should be. If they get rid of pulis they will be in trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hycus-flange Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hope they get battered tonight, not because I give any kind of a shit about them, just that it'll mean Leicester will go 5 points clear and a step closer to the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Another Pulis tactical master class I see....;) What amazes me about West Brom is for the few shots on target they still score a decent amount of goals against good quality opposition...2 tonight, 2 at Chelsea, 3 at home to Palace etc. They must have one of the best goals to shots ratios in the league surely?

Exactly as poor as west brom are under pulis they score goals with little quality unlike this shower of shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 When we beat them twice last year we were better than them in all aspects.. now they are miles ahead. How did that happen? A decent manager who can get the best out of his players, that's what happened! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Another good victory for Pulis. He is effective, I'll give him that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure many on here would still to claim to rather go down than have him in charge. WBA now 15 points above the drop (and 11 from 4th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 They've beaten Man Utd as many times in the last two and half years as we have on the entire history of the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Pulis would get a statue next to McGregor if he was in charge of us and beat Man. United at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted March 6, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2016 Pullis has done well. Not exactly shocked that West Brom are no where near relegation. We should have gone for Pullis or Big Sam when we had the chance. Criminal from our board to be honest. Even just as a 2-3 year stop gap measure to stabilise the club a bit.

PaulC Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 People can say what they like about Pullis, but to do what he has done at a club like West Brom is fantastic. They are above Everton now but have nowhere near as good a squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you combine what he did as a footballer and manager for the club then maybe they should. He was a wonderful footballer whose career was curtailed by knee injuries. My fav Villa player ever.

It's now been 20 years since we beat them at home whilst playing them every year. **** ridiculous! I am aware we beat their reserves 3-0 in 2000 iirc.
