I've always been ok with Stoke, and with Hughton, we'll learn to be too

because it's just cautious playing to your strengths football

Pulis has his team grinding at other defenders until they're knee'd in the back that much that one move catches the whole back four off guard. He also plays the same game Alladyce did at Bolton about taking as much time as possible during stops in play (free kicks, throw ins), I guess that gives his own team a breather from working hard

I don't think we'll have the same ethos completely, but I think Hughton isn't going to 'all or nothing' teams much until he thinks we're definitely going to be tight at the back, and in midfield
