With all respect to Roy Hodgson, a great manager in his time but, Watford are swapping one out of touch manager with another in sheer desperation to survive.
posted by George M (Guest) - Tuesday 25th January 2022, 9:40 AM Woy for Watford? Watford turning into a good place for managers to top up their pensions. See if you can squeeze six months out of the owners to build the pension pot before the inevitable happens. Still quite a bit of this season left, so easily time for a couple more managers before inevitably the Championship sucks them down.
posted by peterjeremy - Tuesday 25th January 2022, 9:46 AM Perfect fit and Woy will able to say Wotford with ease!
posted by Tony R (Guest) - Tuesday 25th January 2022, 10:41 AM I can't make up my mind if I like Watford or not. The way they run the club is to avoid player or manager power. Given the power they have in most clubs. I think this is the right thing to get some order into the salary explosion and players like Terry/Lampard a few years back to decide who should be managing them. On the other hand, I don't know many Watford fan but i suspect they are disenfranchised from the club and it is being treated just like a business. So on the fence here If I would like to see Roy succeed (keeping them up) or not..

posted by OWEN (Guest) - Monday 24th January 2022, 7:06 PM Ranieri inherited Nigel Pearson’s team and momentum and Spurs handed it to them in the end in a poor PL. great achievement by Leicester but Ranieri not totally responsible in my opinion.
posted by MT - Monday 24th January 2022, 7:41 PM Sorry MT' i am not a Nigel Pearson fan. Pearson is a bully and over-rated. Just imagine for a moment that you built a kit car very carefully and perfect in your eyes, but for one thing? No matter what or how you tweak it, there is no sweet-spot that you can make it run as smooth as you want it. You sell it to a chap called Enzo who goes on to make your beloved kit car into the best thing on wheels. Ranieri hit that sweet-spot that particular year in Leicesters history. We can go on to say that Brendon Rodgers did it after Munoz and whoever was in charge before Munoz? It's hard and frustrating to say this' sometimes life deals you these disappointments. Build a rocket and there is one chip missing and you just cannot get your head around it no matter what you do or how hard you try. There is always someone who will do less or next to nothing but he finds the vital component to make it work. That was Ranieri at Leicester, i really believe that...

it could be because both clubs will field almost reserve sides, as they did in 2020 when it was shown on the beeb.
posted by mullard (Guest) - Monday 24th January 2022, 2:32 PM I think they realise Man C's reserves would beat easily Fulham's reserves 99 times out of 100 so it will not be a competitive game. We have no chance even if they played their reserves and we played our best 11.

posted by Gaz - Tuesday 25th January 2022, 5:25 PM The reasons why the game is not on live tv are obvious. The BBC showed our match 2 years ago and it was a dead loss, with Ream conceding a penalty and getting sent off in the first minute. ITV are now back on the scene. They have first pick and choose Man U, whoever they play. The BBC pick the non-league team v PL (quite rightly) and ITV pick Liverpool, whoever they play. With ITV, it has nothing to do with the quality of the tie.

I agree that is why hope this week some Premiership quality defenders arrive. I would say Tosin gets better each game and Tete look PL class. The rest are not in my view, so we need two central defenders and two left backs and another right back as a minimum.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 24th January 2022, 2:22 PM But …if we bought ,a new defence now…would you drop Ream etc …this is a team that’s breaking records …and plays as a team ..we aren’t in the premier league yet there’s still a long way to go ..im sure Marco and his team are going over the pluses and minuses ….
posted by Markrightback (Guest) - Monday 24th January 2022, 2:58 PM Our midfield and attack look class our defence looks the opposite of that. Look at the first Stoke goal, Ream and Tosin stood a couple metres apart and a Stoke attacker stood between them and as the ball came to him neither of our central defenders moved across to intercept the ball.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 24th January 2022, 3:04 PM The Time is Now has a point. Delighted as we all are that we are scoring so freely, the defence is leaking more goals than is good for us. Hearing us go behind at Stoke was surely no surprise, though I bet though we all whispered ‘We’ll get that back alright’. But in the Premier League? - we can’t be too sure.
posted by peterjeremy - Monday 24th January 2022, 3:57 PM It is folly to build our prem defence now in this notoriously hard window. Unless we can get a Andersen and a Matt targett? Why not get an old head in with plenty experience to steady the ship?
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Monday 24th January 2022, 7:11 PM Looking for next season we Definately need a replacement for Ream and Odoi, they were found out last time and now a yr older. I also think a winger to replace Kebano, although he is playing well this season, premier defenders will soon work him out. Apart from Them I think we have a pretty strong team
posted by Roger Young (Guest) - Monday 24th January 2022, 7:20 PM I think being in the playoffs, rather than the automatic promotion places, is an important issue when considering team building, which of course is in Fulham’s favour at the moment. When you think of the number of clubs currently fighting for a spot, and the ‘all or nothing’ outcome of the process culminating in a final touted as the season’s richest game, then no wonder a club and prospective signings would hang back and not tempt fate, until the outcome was known.

John C. I think ou r defence needs to be strengthened this season to guarantee our being promoted this year. If teams start 'parkin the bus like Sheffield United did or if we lose form we could fall short. I don't mean to sound negative but I have been a Fulham supporterfor many years and I know what can happen.
posted by Ancient Chris (Guest) - Monday 24th January 2022, 12:52 PM ac: yes,you are being negative, and at the wrong time.to "fall short" as you have described,it would need a monumental collapse, and another two teams to suddenly find an incredible run as well.i have been a fulham fan enough to have witnessed enough let downs, but never from this position, and i do think it is ours to throw away, not how you see it chris.

posted by John (Guest) - Monday 24th January 2022, 9:51 AM Oddly none of that happens in Rugby. If you argue with the ref you get 10 yards against you for the offense. It's a case of Laws v Rules. Laws must be obeyed but rules are there to be broken...
posted by Bobby (Guest) - Monday 24th January 2022, 10:25 AM I have always thought the rules of rugby enforce the referee we need a similar rule. VAR is constantly undermining the ref. In rugby a check on a decision is a broadcast between the ref and the man with the pictures.

posted by NRL (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 6:33 PM Deli Ali is a player with plenty ability, we would be lucky to have him. Some managers will get the best from certain players more than others. It would be interesting to see what Silva and Boa Morte get from Deli Ali. I feel that he is better around a southern team rather than up North in Newcastle? West ham and Moyes will get the best from Deli in my opinion. If Moyes'y likes him, Deli Ali is good enough for Fulham...

posted by NRL (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 11:16 PM He is a class player and under Silva stewardship would become a consistent and hardworking player. So far Kamara is the only player Silva has written off, something any decent manager would have done as he was a no hoper.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 24th January 2022, 3:11 PM Harrison Reed is industrious but not great. If i could point out an improvement, it would be goals.

posted by Dave (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 9:44 PM Sessegnon did okayish in his time on the pitch. The assist that he created is good enough for the prem, but Spurs need more from him obviously. In the grand scheme of things, Tottenham need much more from most of their players. Just listening to Roy Keane and redknapp will tell us that. To single out Sessegnon for their woes against a Chelsea side that have beaten them in 8 games played and won is ludicrous. Ryan Sessegnon would do a better job down our left flank than Robinson in my opinion and he would score more. Saying that' i don't wish to be hard on Robinson because he has improved his game immensely , but we still have defensive issues between all of our defenders. Just saying that sessegnon is not a flop buy and i think that Conte will use him more as the season goes on. Remember the boy has not had much game-time which is telling. Slavisa used Sessegnon more than any manager and Sess was brilliant for us. When the great Lord above has given you a talent and gift, you have it. I like Sessegnon and i will fight his corner because he did us proud at Fulham...
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 9:45 PM I'm getting a little concerned about some of your posts Owen, what assist was that? Spurs lost 2-0. And I've always been a fan of Sessenong, I'm also with Ancient Chris when it comes to players returning home. I reckon he probably could get in down the left flank.

His goal showed a huge talent. He will learn a great deal from watching how Mitro scores so many goals. He is in a good place and the PL next season may be a good (or bad) experience for him and he may not look back after that.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 4:26 PM He is Brazillian and a natural showman and he will do fine in the prem. Marco Silva see's great things in him and he is one for the future. At 8 million, we have a steal. I am not sure he is a 20 goal-a-season striker, but he is a great sub to have on the bench.

posted by Rm (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 4:05 PM Isn't it great to see how Marco Silva has turned us around with a team made up of virtually all players that Parker had at his disposal though? Our first 11 that have been putting the opposition to the sword only has Harry Wilson as an addition. I know how concerned the worriers on here are about our defence but it was Parker's tactics and lack of goals that got us relegated. 9 goals at home last season with the Championship's best goalscorer ignored for the best part of it ( whatever the reasons) Areola, Aina, Andersen, Loftus-Cheek,Lemina and Lookman. How are they faring now? Would Silva put any of them in our side now? I doubt it, maybe Anderson? But certainly none of the others. Praise where it's due Marco Silva, like Tigana before him, has built a team to win, not worry about the opposition. It's taken a while but Mr. Khan has finally found the leader we've been crying for and with the new Stand almost ready everything in our garden is Rosey. Happy new year mate

Well said, a positive outlook, this season is a joy for me.
posted by NRL (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 10:32 AM I would imagine all true fans feel that way about their club. Have followed Fulham since the age of ten and I’m now a ‘ golden oldie’ Have seen the great players trotting out at Craven cottage from the maestro JH , the equally great Bobby Moore , George Best , and of course Tosh Chamberlain and Jimmy Hill who were about as Fulhamish as you can get ! Will Mitro join the list ? ,

posted by Chas (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 1:35 PM Gazza, love your post. Supporting Fulham is rarely a bowl of cherries, but this is a near as it gets. the teams that get promoted by dominating the Championship usually survives and prosper in the Premier League so that is very promising. Tigana's team dominated the Championship and we stayed up for 13 years. This team is better than them so we are in for a long occupation of the best League in the World with steady advancement, I hope and hope I am able to see it.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 2:17 PM In response to The Time Is Now with respect I have to disagree that the current team is better than that managed by Tigana.In my humble opinion Tiganas team was far better. What do other supporters think?
posted by Silver fox (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 3:03 PM A close run thing, but as yet current team haven’t actually won anything. Jury is out until the end of the season. If Marco’s team maintain their form and momentum my vote will go to them.

posted by Magicman (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 6:09 PM Winning the playoffs is a big cheer but a poisoned chalice as if you have to buy a new team or use the ones who got you promoted or any combinations of these you will probably be relegated in your first season. So apart from the financial gains it is not really a benefit more like a punishment.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 8:33 PM

Agree. Not the first time we’ve been hit by sucker goals in first minutes of a game , even direct from kick off. We do appear to stroll out and not be fully concentrating in the first few minutes. Can’t take anything away for the team in their recent performances but they really must come out swinging otherwise we will suffer at some point.
posted by Realistic (Guest) - Saturday 22nd January 2022, 9:52 PM Didn’t see game but according to reports I read some of these goals were quote unstoppable Love to see goals in games and when there great goals consider them lucky to see More goals more entertainment which surely as long as we score more than them that’s what it’s all about
posted by Magicman (Guest) - Saturday 22nd January 2022, 9:58 PM Yeah the goals we’re top draw, particularly Muniz, think he’s going to be a real asset. On the question of goals in general, it’s one thing to go behind to a genuine corker, but it’s crazy to give goals away due to your own lack of concentration. Playing catch up unnecessarily is just plain stupid. We will eventually be made to pay. Teams realise that susceptibility and will try to exploit it. Crazy to put ourselves at disadvantage of our own making. I think that’s point I and Bigboy are trying to make. If you’ll excuse me Bigboy for the assumption.
posted by Realistic (Guest) - Saturday 22nd January 2022, 10:16 PM BDR's goal was a real stunner. He so capable of being a brilliant player and he has scored some really top class goals this season already, and if only he was consistent, he would be one of the first names on the team sheet. I am so pleased with Muniz's performance too, as he has maintained Marco's faith in him, and he could go on to be a top class player for us.
posted by A C (Guest) - Saturday 22nd January 2022, 10:51 PM Some weeks ago I posted a comment saying I thought Fulham's defence was our weak point and desperately needs strengthening or we could be in trouble. We've now let in two goals in each of the last three games. This is a recipe for disaster and Marco Silva needs to take action quickly. Incidentally, I'm always happier when Michael Hector is in defence. When Fulham brought him in he helped to turn things round. Why isn't he being selected?
posted by Baz Richardson (Guest) - Saturday 22nd January 2022, 11:01 PM You guys searching for perfection are watching the wrong sport, our guys at present are setting new records for the football league and you're still not happy. I think when the new stand opens they should have a NHB section that you can all sit in. "The Never Happy Brigade"
posted by NRL (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 6:42 AM It is not a question of perfection. We are almost certain to be in the PL next season so we must start recruiting a defence that can cope with that challenge now. Our present defence is slow and statuesque and would be slaughtered by Premier League attacks.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 7:47 AM Silly to criticise people for seeking ‘perfection’, that’s what all sportsmen do. That said I for one am not seeking the unattainable, merely suggesting it would be better not to be beaten due to our self inflicted mistakes. It’s difficult enough without handicap ing ourselves with sloppy, unfocused play.
posted by Realistic (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 8:18 AM I think the dilemma for Marco …is if he starts recruiting for next season now ..it would mean breaking up this record breaking side … that’s a problem that I’m sure he is wrestling with ..yes our defence looks vulnerable but if you attack in numbers like we are doing it always leaves your defence exposed ….
posted by Markrightback (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 8:44 AM Like I say "The never happy brigade" Enjoy what's being served up right now, it's a fabulous time to be a Fulham fan.
posted by NRL (Guest) - Sunday 23rd January 2022, 10:13 AM Along with most of us at the moment, I am a very happy bunny, as to how our team is playing, and even winning when going goals down, which is something that good teams do, and our main concern is our defence at present, but as we are still winning despite letting in the odd couple of goals, it is not a real problem. Where I think that we, and I say we, have got it right, is having a top class Manager, and for this we must thank most sincerely the Khans, who managed to entice Marco to join our club in the first place. A stroke of pure genius from our owner and TK, whoever was responsible, as he possibly the best manager we have had for quite a long time now, and praise be, he does have experience in the Premier League if we do get back there this season, that will be invaluable.

Toney, Mbeumo, and a few many would get into the Fulham squad i think no problem. They could almost afford to throw the harder games against the top 6-8 which they will lose and pick up points below these. 23 points i think they have? Much easier to build on than our points tally back in the prem. Easily stay up in my opinion. I think Buzz Bee can take a chill-pill...

The only real addition being Harry Wilson. So it's high hi Silva lining for me

Would show some level of defensive acumen.

posted by Ivor (Guest) - Saturday 22nd January 2022, 6:15 PM We look like a Premier League team but our defence does not. We need to get some class defender now, it is no good leaving it until we are promoted as it take at least 10 games for a defence to work and we cannot afford to lose most of our first 10 games in the PL.
posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 22nd January 2022, 6:40 PM We are a few points clear and comfortable, but i hear Bigboys concerns about our defence. Bigboy is also correct about the rising 'Hull' that beat Bournemouth. It only takes a few results like that from teams that are improving to de-rail a season. We have conceded in the last 3 games that we won which is a relief, but it will be even better if we can address our obvious defensive frailties. I see no harm in those concerns. There is always room for improvement...

There is a need to address our defensive frailties, but i am not sure if this window is the time to do it? I think we can wing it and maybe go with what we have now in Ream and co, but be prepared for fright-night. Between Ream ,Robinson, and Odoi etc, they will make mistakes no doubt. We are out-scoring other teams by the bucket loads but can we be too confident that we will continue in this vein? Marco Silva has said that he doesn't mind a few tight 1-0 wins and i think that time will come, but there is a but. Would you be confident that a 1-0 score-line at Stoke up to the 90th minute will stay that way in our favour? Silva is angry about our defending and conceding, but history will tell you that this is old news and nothing new. We really need players with up to the calibre of Matt Target and the likes of Andersen, but you and i know that ain't gonna happen in this league. Our best bet would be to get in somebody old with a little bit left over in the legs and only players like jagielka, Jones, Marcelo, and oldies like that are available or not? You name it, there will be a dozen teams looking for the same thing. If Marco Silva and boa Morte can come up with a few unknown gems from say the Portuguese league, Fulham will be quids in. We will soon see where the wind blows...

Promotion, come what may is paramount, and if it is achieved, then the hard talking about signings and new contracts will no doubt begin.

Right too. But remember Asa Hartford, WBA, he had a heartby pass and went on to be a full hearted combative player. So why not Christian Erikseen? I am half Danish, but if I was in Marco Sliva's position - No I would not sign him at any price. We need a Declan Rice, Tom Lawrence (Derby), Todd Cantwell (Norwich), Billy Gilmour or Philip Foden (Man City) style player to drive us forward with Tom Cairney, who is younger and can take over the role of captain. A 19 year old Alan Mullery would be good.

posted by Bob (Guest) - Thursday 20th January 2022, 10:55 AM I am not sure even Silva can turn him into a great ball winner to add to his undoubted talents but if he could he will a solid PL player. Our manager's talent for getting the best out of our players avoid us needing to spend big in the transfer market. Our only main area of weakness is defence where the standards, even in the teams in the bottom half of the PL, is well above ours. I am not convinced any of our defenders are good enough.
posted by The Time Is Now - Thursday 20th January 2022, 12:09 PM I thought Tom Cairney was playing as well as I’ve seen him, or almost. One player surely cannot be all things to all men, or rarely. He’s good at what he does, just have to pair him with player/s who can provide what he can’t. Same with all players/teams. A team should be greater than the sum of its parts.

Our bench looks very classy some movement may be possible but Silva trust the 11 he plays and uses subs vert effectively. This catching up period is nearly over and the matches will return to a more nornal pattern.
posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 8:00 AM No coincidence Sir Tom is controlling midfield as well as I have ever seen him play!
posted by Tony R (Guest) - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 8:12 AM Silva has the talent to get the best out of all the players. Have you ever seen Mitro play all over the pitch he is the full package as a striker now.
posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 10:13 AM Drago writes ‘… The lack of rotation shows that half the squad, maybe more, won’t be here next year’. My concern is along those lines, too. Thrilled though I am that Fulham are scoring heavily, is that the goals Mitro & Co knocked in in the last few days rather masks the four we let in. Our back four were found a little wanting there and, as and when we get promoted, I think we will be putting this defence on the bench and finding a new one, rather like last season. That said, I recognise that the club can only do their best to have a longer term strategy of adding to the clubs income by building a new stand to attract more spectators.
posted by peterjeremy - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 12:08 PM If we have 50m to spend for the premier league, I’d be more than happy if all that money is spent on the defence! If we can strengthen our defence, we know our midfields and forwards, with Marco’s tactics, we can score against most teams in the premier league. Goals mean points. If we strengthen our defence and our forwards will go forwards no we know they can score.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 2:24 PM I see one of my old favourites (who parker could not stand the site of) Matt 0 Reilly is drawing an interest from Celtic Norwich and Watford 1.5, /2m is the sum being bandied about, another one we cocked up, reputed we get a sell on fee of 50%
posted by Kunye (Guest) - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 2:35 PM I’m pretty sure the club are doing everything possible to retain Carvalho’s services. It wouldn’t be in their interests to do anything else, so they’ll do everything they can. However, if he wants to move on, for what ever reason, there’s nothing they can do about it. The one glimmer of hope is he genuinely seems to be enjoying himself and appears to be a fully paid up and popular member of the squad. Hope that will count for something in his reasoning, but maybe quadrupling your salary and having the opportunity to play with and against the best must be very tempting. Good luck to him whatever he decides, but he’ll be a big miss.
posted by Realistic (Guest) - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 2:50 PM Do you think the club made the wrong decision on O'Reily? He's had plenty of game time. MK Dons probably able to play to his strength more than Fulham ever could as we have better players. With all that, he's available for 1.5m only. And we get 750k of that! I think we made the right decision given a 1.5m, no disrespect to them, is not good enough even for a bench seat in our aspiring squad.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 3:22 PM Will Carvelo go if he gets a good offer? Hell, yes! Football is becoming more and more driven by money as revenues rise, and wealthy owners arrive with nothing better to spend their money. But really Fulham are a ‘selling’ club, nothing wrong in that if you can get good prices. Thats an important way to finance our progress. And those young Fulham players of few years ago that were tempted away, have any of them been seen pulling up trees at the new bigger clubs? Roberts? Sessegnon?
posted by peterjeremy - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 4:57 PM Kunye you need to get over Matt O Reilly,league 1 different level what I saw of him doubt he’ll ever come back to haunt us. Fabio crazy to leave won’t get any game time elsewhere look at Sess

posted by Magicman (Guest) - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 6:27 PM As far as I know, so far Fabio has only played in the Championship. It’s asking a lot for a PL club to pay too much for someone who is only 19 and has yet to play in their league. Perhaps it would make more sense if he stayed to get the promotion we seem to be destined for and he can show everyone there what he can do next season, and his value would be much enhanced.
posted by peterjeremy - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 7:04 PM Think you’ll find he played a few games last season and from memory scored against Chelsea.
posted by MT - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 8:08 PM I don’t understand. Assuming Fulham can match whatever salary is offered by Liverpool or whoever, why wouldn’t Fab choose Fulham given we should be playing in Prem next season, he will get more game time than anywhere else, Marco’s system works well for him, he is well integrated into the team. If he does do well, he’s got a good contract and if he plays well, he can double or quadruple his salary with a move. So a win win situation. Only reason he would move I think is to benefit the agent. For Fab, if Fulham can match i the salary it is a win win. He’s an intelligent young chap - hope he can see sense.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 8:14 PM Other clubs, both in the PL and throughout Europe, can offer a far greater wage than Fulham, even if we are in the Prem.
posted by peterjeremy - Wednesday 19th January 2022, 9:47 PM Fulham very unlikely to match the salaries a one of the big hitters, infact I’d say they never could and he’d be playing with the best footballers in the world, he could thereby get a lot better and finally he’d have the opportunity to play in the major championships. No brainer really.

Would pair well with Tosin. Sell Anguissa to fund it? I know. Another injury risk. But we have to take some risks. We’re not exactly a prime destination, despite Owen’s high opinion of West London living. As for Eriksen, we all wish him the best, but just can’t figure out why risk your life to keep playing. Bees can have him.

posted by The Time Is Now - Tuesday 18th January 2022, 1:51 PM I’m fine, but last night for me the opportunity to post here proved impossible because of technical problems on the site. Duh and bobby, are you referring to multiple repetitive posts from me? That was the site’s admitted fault. I don't need a fibrillator - unlike Eriksen.
posted by peterjeremy - Tuesday 18th January 2022, 2:02 PM Would not go down Ericsson. Road free agent 100 grand a week plus championship rigours doubt he would be a regular starter don’t want no more passengers. Let little bees waste there cash on him
