    Morning of a big game and no comments

    Is it that opinion over Pulis was so divided that there was always robust "discussion" whereas there is a resignation that we are struggling and despite the pleas to give Hughes a chance there is a "silent" majority acceptance that he is not the right man for the job lacking charisma passion and the ability to improve our chances

    In our present position every game is a biig one and although I do not go on other boards I wonder if there is so little debate amongst others in danger of the drop

    Sad to say but as a small club have we gone as far as we can and it is now just a matter of which season we go down

    Hope this generates some meaningful discussion but tin hat on ready!!!

    I was going to reply earlier today saying there is a degree of apathy at the moment on here because the team are not progressing (in terms of results and league position) as many would have hoped following TPs departure. After todays fantastic result against Chelsea maybe things will start to change and confidence (amongst the players and fans) will return

    Lets hope so

    I think Pulis divided opinion enough to creat debate, but after riding on a crest of wave the contributions were mainly around how we had spent so much And let opportunity slip away.

    I think Hughes was nobody's first choice but most accepted that he was one of a few that were both willing and able to work with the mess that had been created by Pulis - almost relegating us in the process. I think the reason the board is so quite is because we have lost a few key posters and all the mods are less active due to time constraints - I used to do the match threads but I don't have the time at present and nobody else seems willing to do it. However, the main reason for my reduced input is purely down to the fact that I lost heart last year and Pulis broke my love for the club and the sport, and I have invested my money and time into other things.

    I really hope you enjoyed that result as much as I did. That has be coming for weeks. Today we we're a TEAM and Pulis would NEVER have done what Hughes did and GO for the WIN. Hope you can catch MOTD too mate.

    Keep well SIS and all the best mate. <ok>

    Cracking result (and perhaps surprising) lads, well done. I have not seen the highlights yet but will in time.

    As with Norwich, you need to find some consistency now, do that and we'll both be fine again this season <ok>

    Thanks Steve Yes brilliant result Stayed up late to watch MOTD Unbelievable first on and DELILAH even featured on Strictly Come Dancing

    If only we had done the same with Cardiff

    Although league points are vital I think UTD are there for the taking if we play like that

    Hope you and the family are all well

    If we can play like that against Utd, I see no reason why we can't beat them. It should be a cracking atmosphere too.
    We are all fine here SIS even Chris was singing at the match yesterday. Think that's a first for her. And me Grandaughter is now 10 weeks old and growing fast.
    Makes me fell old tbh, especially as Jowler was only 50 yesterday. WELL done on staying awake too SIS.
