So the City game wasn't quite the hammering we expected though we were flattered by the scoreline. 80% possession was it for City?
With matches against Chelsea and Spurs coming up I think it's fair to say that Saturday's games against 'uddersfield is now a must win as far as Pulis is concerned. I'm not convinced a draw would be good enough.
Surely the owners will act if we lose our next 3 matches?!

I would agree that we need a further 10 points by half way and I see no reason why we won't get them. That's just 3 wins and a draw.
We have done less well against the teams around us so far. However last season we got only 4 points out of 42 against the then top 7. We got a draw against Spurs and a win against Arsenal. The season before we got 14 points from these fixtures.
I think it is possible we can look to make up lost points. Chelsea, Liverpool and especially Everton have looked more vulnerable this season with the rigours of European football on top of the PL.
We have surrendered several points by conceding late goals. If we can cut this out we will reverse the slide.
I remain optimistic.

Reckon we'll get 7 from that lot. Probably need at least 9 to keep us going at a point per game at the half way point.

With a poor points ratio up until the half way point, at least that won’t continue our recent trend of getting to 40 points early and then switching off for the second half of the season.

Same team as above. Yacob has to come back in and add some bite in midfield. Brunt and Phillips whipping in crosses out wide. Maybe J-Rod upfront just because he scored last week.

Our current form is so bad that by the time we sack Tony Pulis the only man that will be able to save us from relegation will be Tony Pulis.

<lol> football fans' black humour at its best...gotta love it
I hope your lot get rid of pulis soon if only for the long suffering 20,000 who go to watch the entertainment-free stuff he serves up every week. better to go down fighting and come back up with a new style than have to put up with 3 wins in 27 games and scraping enough 1-0s or 0-0s to dodge the bottom three this year.
i'd also like to get back to some top flight BCDs again. although maybe a season or two above you before that happens just to reverse some of the last few years.
