There's no pressure on Pulis whatsoever. We've played Manchester City, who beat Chelsea by the same score they beat us, and we've got an away point, and Chelsea next. Two practically impossible games out of three. We get Matt Phillips and a decent LB and a run of games against non-Champions League opponents and we will be ok.

Don't agree there is no pressure. After last week against Man City and indeed Chelsea's last game at the Hawthorns Mourinho will have a point to prove. I am sure he would like to win handsomely.
We are on TV again. I hope we can put in a performance of which we can be proud. I think we will.
The Hawthorns is Chelsea's bogey ground.
You guys think there is pressure on TP for his job? Is that what you mean?
Difficult start.
You're not joking.
Bit of a stich-up really by the fixture list boys. Chelsea and Man City as first two home games? New boys Watford as first away game??
Admittedly Pulis got his tactics wrong.. but that is a lousy first three games.
Midlands teams often get a schit deal when it comes to the opening fixtures.
Did you see our run-in last season?
Crystal Palace A
Liverpool H
Man Utd A
Newcastle A
Chelsea H
Arsenal A
Prior to those games, we'd lost two games on the trot, both at home, to QPR and Leicester to really put the pressure on ourselves. From out of nowhere, our last five results were WDWDWL.
I mean is TP under pressure from fans aries?
The season is only two games old and his job is safe I would imagine. Until the fans turn on you. As Irvine found out once the majority do turn its difficult to regain their support. Now TP isn't really anywhere near Irvine territory yet but right or wrong, there are unhappy fans at matches and on social media outlets.
* that should read our last SIX results.
Teix, I largely dismiss the negative views of fans on social media outlets. Most of them just want to make a point - any point - without engaging brain first.
In my view, the time to judge a manager or head coach is when it becomes obvious we are heading in the wrong direction. That means either the Championship or, in our case, not fulfilling our potential in the Premier League.
I can't say I'm happy with some of our signings this summer - the lack of orthodox full backs, and Rondon seems expensive - but most of last summer's signings were a complete disaster. Terry Burton did a lot of damage, I believe.
We need two proper full backs and someone with pace in midfield. It seems Pocognoli and Gamboa are on their way out, and I don't think James McLean is the answer to any problem.
We can gripe and moan, as is our right, but until a better head coach becomes available and actually wants to join Albion, I am more than happy with TP at the helm.
There will be pressure heaped on Pulis by fans (including apologists like me) if performances don't step up. There will be pressure from JP. If we don't sell Saido and get the players we are linked with, JP will have backed Pulis like no other Albion manager.
It's still early days and we will have had a tough start but I am still hopeful of a mid-table finish.
Some fans' expectations are unrealistic, and when they're not met, the head coach must come under pressure?
Pulis will be gone after the defeat at Stoke.
Wasted £50m just to stagnate.
Peace already has a replacement lined up.

Yeah! It's Kenny Jackett.
Desperation stakes at the Moulinex, where Wolves are 17th in the Championship and fans are asking if Jackett's just a League One manager after all.
Uncle. I always find it's better to WUM when your own team is doing well.
Cox, Wolves ARE doing well. They're in the Championship. That's good by their standards.
