Tony Pulis: One or two boo-boys tarnish the whole Albion crowd

Tony Pulis reckons a small minority of booing fans have tarnished the whole of the Albion crowd.

Salomon Rondon's late equaliser snatched a draw at home to relegation-threatened Swansea on Tuesday night, but some supporters at The Hawthorns still greeted the final whistle with boos.

The Baggies boss accepts that it's part of the game, but he did question how many fans were jeering the performance.

Back-to-back Premier League games without a shot on target sparked discontent among supporters, but Pulis's team managed seven attempts on target against Swansea.

The Welsh side had their chances, but so did Albion, and two fantastic Lukasz Fabianski saves at either end of the game denied Darren Fletcher and Victor Anichebe.

"There's a little bit of booing, but 99.9 per cent of the supporters are delighted we scored late, they showed their appreciation," said Pulis.

"You get one or two boos and you have to accept it.

"I've been in the game a long time and I understand the way it works, how it works.

"If people want to boo, brilliant, but what happens is you get one or two people booing and then everybody gets tarnished with the fact that supporters were booing.

"If you watch the last 10 minutes of that game the support we got was absolutely fantastic.

"There was a small group who moaned or booed at the end, the majority of them stuck with the players.

"They need to do that, especially now with us picking up injuries and knocks."

Jonny Evans picked up a hamstring injury against Swansea and will be out for two weeks.

Chris Brunt is also unavailable for tomorrow's trip to Newcastle, posing a problem at left-back.

Pulis is not a fan of Sebastien Pocognoli, and the Belgian international's mix-up with Boaz Myhill during a rare start against Peterborough in the FA Cup last weekend did nothing to help his cause.

"We're picking up some injuries at the moment which is not good for us but we have to get on with it," said Pulis.

"We've got options to move things around and that's what we'll have to do.

"We've played a left winger there all season and Brunty's done brilliant at left-back.

"To lose Brunt and Jonny as well leaves you a bit bare but we're no different to any other Premier League club, you get these spells when you pick up injuries."
