I believe all he was doing was implying that he is more 'Kevin Keegan' than 'Tony Pulis' that's all. But with his 'Stock' being somewhat low amongst many, anything he says will be met with criticism.

If he had said that clean sheets WERE his priority he would have met with a barrage of vitriol given that we haven't kept one for 17 league matches.

At the end of the day he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

This is a worrying trend, the third or fourth post today that I agree with you. Strange days indeed

Having now read the article I see that he actually said:

"Anyone who knows the way I manage, I like my teams to be on the front foot and score goals, so clean sheets have never been the top of my priority," he said.

"But, of course, they are important and I have been looking for one, because it will give us the foundation to win a game."

Seems that he does actually get it but folk, as ever, just concentrate on the bit that puts their stand point.

I reckon it could simply be a case of he has to stop losing or he's a goner so the squad now have two weeks of defensive training drills before the Citeh game.

Wow has he lost the plot or what, Now stating that clean sheets have never been his priority and we rather than moan, should sit back and watch the entertaining type of football we are playing, I though the first rule of football was not to concede goals.

In any case as a real supporter. I just like to see my team win, That might be lucky or not any way it comes is fine by me. If it came to a choice of exciting football but losing and leaking goals most games, that's not for me. I actually go to all home and some away games to watch my team win, I get no pleasure out of saying beaten 4-2 but didn't we do well, that don't work for me, So sooner he goes the better.
