Oh well, hopefully a Pulis pre-season will help him and he'll be better next year

Got a feeling he'll be back here for our sins.

Yeah, sorry about that. Do you know what percentage of his wages you are paying? I'm sorry if it's a lot, it sounds as if he's robbing you :/ or even we are
To give a bit more complex analysis
Let's go through each game...
Tranmere
Goal won no points. Sending off came after we were already 2-1 down. From what I recall it was a generally poor performance by the entire team, so no guarantee we would have got a second or third ith him on, so can't say the sending off cost us.
Wycombe
Without doubt his goals affected the result. Without them we'd be out of the cup.
Southampton
Scored the first two, which gave us the lead and enough of an advantage that we didn't need a third. Definitely instrumental in three points.
Wycombe
First started our fight back, second put us in the lead, 3rd and fourth put us beyond reach. Another 3 points his goals won us.
Walsall
Murray's goal started us off, walsall equalised, we needed a goal from Forster for all three. How should we count this? without it, it would be 1-1, so that's 2 points it gave us. However, if we take away the rest of our team's contribution his goal earns us 1 point. If he didn't score, would we have got anything? Since everyone is going to be looking down on him tonight, I will be conservative and say it was one point.
Leyton Orient
1-1 draw, so his goal won us a point
Leeds
1-1 Draw, so his goal won us a point
Brentford
Scored the first, which gave us the lead, which we built on. 3 more.
Tranmere
Scored the first, which gave us the lead, which we built on. 3 more.
With a bit more analysis, his goals have won us 14pts, plus kept us in the FA cup to face non league opponents before heading onto premier league opponents (i.e. got the club some money).
If we had 15 less points and 11 less goals we would be on 40 points, -16 goals, and that would put us third bottom. 5 points from safety (Tranmere would be up a place on their 45 points, along with wycombe who would have the three points glenn won us v them) with 6 points to play for.
I'm sure someone else will put the argument across for what his red cards have cost us.
Do his goals and points give us more than his indiscipline takes away? Does it give us enough more than it takes away? Is it realistic to expect his indiscipline to be such a problem next year? Three reds in one season is incredibly rare, not exactly something we can say with any confidence will happen next year too, is it?

Unknown , we paid 25% of Blobby Savages wages last season which was a total waste of money.

Came off the bench in stoppage time , in the 5 minutes he was on he never touched the ball apparently.
Wrong. He had a few good touches but seeing as how he was on for about 2 minutes of ball in play not much else he could have done

At a guess quite a lot, if we DONT get someone decent because of him next season ill be severely f***ed off, although that'll never get proven.

El Abd had a great game today, ok he missed two chances to score but that's not what he's in the side for. He was immense, Bennett was never MoM for me.
Should have been El Abd, or Barnes at a push.
