Adding onto that, look at Pulis' efforts yesterday

from the touch line at the Hawthornes.

WBA were 2-0 up and coasting against a conference side, but he wasn't happy, so entered the technical area and started barking out instructions to his players because they weren't doing what he wanted. They scored five goals in the second half and won 7-0.

I know people will say "it was only Gateshead", but that's the point. Pulis wanted to set a minimum standard that he felt should be displayed against any opponent. It's that type of drive that kept an awful Palace side up last year and won Pulis the moty award. That's the difference that a great motivator can make.
