Tony Pulis: Albion haven't been that bad
West Brom boss Tony Pulis today insisted his side haven't performed as poorly since Christmas as has been made out.
The Baggies were excellent in the first-half of Saturday's 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace but the attacking intent came as a shock to many after weeks of insipid defensive displays.
Albion failed to register a shot on target in league games against Southampton, Aston Villa, and Newcastle, and they struggled in the FA Cup against lower league opposition, Bristol City, Peterborough and Reading.
But Pulis reckons the performances haven't been as poor as some fans and pundits suggested, and said team morale was healthy.
"Morale hasn't been that bad to be honest," he said.
"Before Saturday's game the 10 games we had played prior to that we were actually sixth in the table for points gained.
"It's just perception at times, and people can put whatever slant they want on it.
"That was back to back victories, we've done well at home since Boxing Day.
"We've won games that we shouldn't have won and a got great result against Everton as well.
