Problem being the "total rebuild" was horrendous.
Only Lescott has improved the team, and that's not by a mile.
None of the other summer signings have done anything really
We need some proper investment in the summer, to build on a solid but unspectacular squad
I'd refute whether performances have been no worse. The home games against Leicester and QPR were amongst the worst i've seen for some time. And what about some of the negative away performances? Matches where we've been playing beatable teams but have flatly refused to even enter their half of the pitch!
As for this summer's signings. This worries me even more. Pulis clearly tried to sign Carlton Cole in January. If Cole is Pulis's idea of an improvement then we're in for a tough time.
From the same script you could suggest the West Ham win was one of the best performances in years
Either way Pulis was brought here to keep us up, and he (almost certainly) has done that. This wasn't the time to try to play teams off the park, especially with our side lacking quality in the final third.
If from the start of next season we start playing for draws at home to the likes of leicester then it'll be fair to be critical. But that's a long way away. It's a big summer ahead no doubt
