Baggies’ poor form continues

Tony Pulis
Pulis has seen his team struggle of late

The visitors came into the game having got only one point from their last four league games, which included three losses and a draw. After the game concluded, it became just a point from the last five games for the Baggies.

Tony Pulis has been criticised off late for his tactics and how he has used his players in a very defensive manner. But given the lack of depth in his squad, it is appropriate that they have been struggling to get past opponents who are more determined and more willing to win than Pulis’ men are.

Having got to the mark of 40 points already, safety from relegation is already guaranteed for the Baggies. Hence, the side have taken their feet off the gas. But if you are a Premier League side, you should be focussing on getting higher up the table as much as you can by collecting points.

The problem for them has also been their inability to score goals. Defensively, the Baggies have been quite good as they have now conceded only 6 goals in their last five games, but it is offensively where the problem lies. It is up to Tony Pulis to find his right combination to get some points on board.
