Pulis defiant as West Brom fans turn on their manager

West Brom boss Tony Pulis was defiant after defeat to Huddersfield.

Away fans targeted Pulis with chants of 'You're getting sacked in the morning', 'Tony Pulis, get out of our club', and 'Tony Pulis, your football is s**t'.

"Anybody who has been on a run of games like us and we've been on a poor run in respect of results and winning and losing, you're going to take criticism," he admitted.

"I've been in the game a long time to know that's what happens no matter who you are and what club you're at.

"It's coming up to three years since I took over the football club. The club is in a better position now than what it was then.

"What has happened is that we've continuously grown. Last year we finished in the top ten, we signed some good players.

"Unfortunately one or two have been injured and we've not been able to put our strongest team out and we haven't won games. It hasn't gone for us.

"Irrespective of what you've done previously that goes out the window.

"All the supporters think about is the game that you're in today, next week, and the week after. We move on."
