Agree even with keegan and Tigan in charge we didn’t always sell out. Under Silva gates have improved but his had success, I believe gates go down more on failure than price
posted by Badger (Guest) - Saturday 08th November 2025, 9:14 AM What annoys me about the wolves game not being a sale out, is we’ve only lost once at home to team top of league by one goal and played well . Away from home been robbed by officials mistakes at Chelsea and Villa didn’t play badly v Bournemouth and Newcastle, not been played off park by anyone yet but because at this early stage we’re near relegation some didn’t turn up. Must say the ones that came got behind the team

A draw will be good away to an inform Everton and i would take that before if possible. Moyes is no mug and he is capable of changing the game in his favour even if a goal or two down. Make no mistake this is a difficult away fixture and we shouldn't e going up there expecting 3 points in the bag. Our squad isn't the biggest but we have good strength in depth and i am so glad to see the likes of Muniz back and Tete. Muniz isn't prolific but he gives us that important focal point we are missing and his presence will help Marco pick a more balanced squad around him. I love our small but compact squad with the quality of Josh King continually improving and i still think the likes of Smith Rowe is a nice luxury squad player who most teams around us would like and sooner or later he will find his feet and eventually settle. I am still not convinced that Gonçalo Santos appointed assistant is a good replacement for Boa Morte who's expertise we miss and thats my opinion but such is life and we have to make the best of it now. Our squad is very decent and especially now with our injured key players coming back. Our problems will linger on when the African nations come around because we don't seem to have the know how to find winning ways with key players out. Our bench is more than useful and pundits are in awe but we have to find better ways of using it. Trust me' David Moyes can tweak it so don't expect us to turn up and steal away 3 points we have to earn it.

WE have sold out most of games. Wolves are rightly bottom of the table and certain people gave it a rest. We have a lot of wealthy tourist "supporter" who mainly are attracted by the opposition who are were not attracted by Wolves in any way.
posted by The Time Is Now - Thursday 06th November 2025, 11:15 PM TTIN you could not be more wrong. We are rarely selling out the Riverside at £100+ per ticket and even in the Hammy and Putney ends there has been a struggle to sell tickets. Against Wolves the club were panicking by advertising tickets on social media and in the end gave over 800 tickets away for free to, what one can only assume, were day trippers and not true FFC fans. The real fans and future fans are being priced out of the game at Fulham due this recent ticketing regime. £60 for a ticket in the Hammy end with the lack of facilities is crazy money against any team - let alone Wolves. Surely it’s better to have a full stadium of true fans getting behind the team as the 12th man helping us to finish further up the league where the financial rewards are far higher than the additional revenue raised from inflated ticket prices. Also what happened to “kids for a quid” for games like Wolves? Rant over!!!
posted by MST (Moderator) - Friday 07th November 2025, 6:26 AM Sorry, rant not quite over as I was just thinking about A rated games as well. One of the only reasons that they get sold out, as people who go to games regularly will know, is the infiltration of away fans in home areas. Whenever the big boys come to town there are always away fans sat around me in the JH so I’m sure it’s the same in other parts of the ground. My final thought is how can it also be right for away tickets (in general) to be cheaper than home support. I know why it’s done but it doesn’t stack up for me when it’s £60 against Wolves in the Hammy end but £40 for an away ticket in the away part of the Putney end. Apologies for the Owenesque posts but ticket prices and the club forcing out future fans is something I feel passionate about and TTIN’s usual support of everything the team and club does is way off kilter this time and Bish’s post is right on song. Rant truly over now ;0)

posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Friday 07th November 2025, 11:43 AM You’ve completely missed the point paddy. I am a season ticket holder for 30+ years so I do pay it. The point is, that exorbitant pricing regimes are killing the game for the average JB in the street and with televised football and VPNs allowing us to watch 3pm games from foreign broadcasts stadiums attendances will continue to decline. It’s a short sighted policy much like the forthcoming budget when taxes will rise, unemployment will rise, output will decline and before we know it Mr Recession will come knocking.

Bit like Liebour and taxes, they will squeeze till you’re desiccated then think of another way to make you pay.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Friday 07th November 2025, 4:56 PM I have been following Fulham, since the 1940's, and although I played football myself for many years, I still managed odd matches, both home and away. However when my playing days were over, I was able to purchase a season ticket in the Riverside stand. Unfortunately when I retired, and there was not enough money, coming in, and with the prices going up, and out of my reach, I had to call it a day, as it wasn't just the cost of my ST that was prohibiting, but as I live many miles away in deepest Sussex, travelling expenses were also high, and on a pension, quite unaffordable, hence my Fulham supporting days, are now in my armchair, but they will still be my club for evermore.
posted by Alan B (Guest) - Friday 07th November 2025, 10:51 PM A price is based on the law of supply and demand and Fulham fill the ground for most game so price is not to much for the people who buy the tickets. If you cannot afford the price you won't go. If you are poor you should not drink either.

Let’s hope we can keep the scouse4s at bay. Pity Liverpool didn’t fancy him before we got in there, getting sick and tired of then arseholes keep unsettling our players. Perhaps he can see and learn from the likes of carvaliho, Elliott and Robert’s that the grass isn’t always greener, forgot Sessignon as well. Obviously he will be sold at massive profit at some stage as probably Fulham will prove a stepping stone to bigger things. Still hopefully Sammy boy will become permanent deal as he does look the business. Much needed win Saturday, and hopefully confidence boosting for players and staff. Inwards and upwards, great to have Anderson back.
posted by Sussexcol (Guest) - Monday 03rd November 2025, 8:19 AM Thought he played well on Saturday, some good runs and some good crosses. We should hold onto him until we see his full potential. The other non loan signing looks very promising and will start scoring goals soon. Marco might be tempted to try him as a striker.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 03rd November 2025, 1:15 PM Scouting Chukwueze more likely, he would be a cheaper and better option as he is a Milan player.
posted by mwk (Guest) - Monday 03rd November 2025, 4:21 PM I think it’s clear Liverpool take our players, and in one case our manager, and then ruin them. Stay well away lads.
posted by Liverpool (Guest) - Monday 03rd November 2025, 5:15 PM I get really annoyed with the way that Liverpool act like vultures, and fly away with our young talent, then ruin them, and cast them aside. Carvelho hardly ever gets a look in at Brentford, and only got 4 minutes against Palace at the end, and Harvey Elliot, who I presume is still with Villa, unless he is injured, is not even a bench man. So you scousers, keep your envious eyes off of any more of our squad. Our next two opponents Sunderland and Everton, are playing each other this evening. No doubt they will be a feature of discussion, at training in the morning. I'm not impressed with either at the moment on Sky.
posted by LTS (Guest) - Monday 03rd November 2025, 8:24 PM We have a different regime where all our player realise they are better off at Fulham. The ones we sell are ones we want rid of or a few that do not want to play for us. We do not see players as an income stream only as a resource.

posted by Chief (Guest) - Tuesday 04th November 2025, 1:48 AM Kevin is class, it’s up to Marco to coach him to suit the way that we play and to adapt to PFL. Chukwueze looks great too and has fortunately already fitted in. I’m personally hopeful.

posted by Unconvinced (Guest) - Sunday 02nd November 2025, 6:21 PM In my humble opinion I think that this is a pretty open Premier League, with a present the only what looks like pretty certain finishes being Arsenal to win the title, and barring a miracle Wolves will be relegated. I doubt very much that we will be in a relegation fight, but nothing is impossible at this stage, but we do need to put away our chances, and stock giving away late goals, as against Bournemouth, and Newcastle. We should as CRAVEN says, finish safely, but I will be more confident if we are 14th at Christmas.

It’s the ‘curse of the cottage’. Basically, if Fulham beat you then no manager in the world can save you so it’s best to get rid.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Sunday 02nd November 2025, 3:00 PM To be absolutely correct having virtually all our injured players back we looked like a different team and playing that way we could probably beat anyone.

We now have two unbeaten games for starters.

posted by Ben O'Gun. (Guest) - Saturday 01st November 2025, 8:33 PM A well needed 3 points and yes a bit calamitous at the back sometimes and they missed a golden chance 1-0 down with a man sent off. We must build from this now and we are back on the road up to Everton and it will be a good test to see how much stronger in improvement we are. We have to keep in mind that Wolves are a bottom team who are a touch nervy at the back but we still struggle to break them down with our team of dribblers. Kevin can be frustrating sometimes but he is undroppable with his silky skills. Chukwueze proved the best dribbler when he came on with that amazing run in the penalty area but the finish was not to be. Wilson was looking frustrating putting in corners that nothing materialises but 100% forgivable when he comes up with a fine goal that lights up stadiums. Sessegnon has an amazing ability to find space at the right time and he scored a well-deserved goal considering that he plays at left back. The left back position is Robbo's for certain but Sessegnon knows too much to be dropped from this squad and its a case of more of our guys stepping up to the plate to rival his goal tally. I think we are guilty of over-hitting passes a few times but Everton will be a good test to see if we can improve and beat teams better up the ladder. Our slackness at the back needs tightening up and again better teams will take the initiative if we continue to gift chances. The return of Andersen is good news and i think Bassey had one of his better games, our big man is a very important component in our team. Even so, this was a good win considering that Wolves scored 3 against Chelsea and lost out 4-3, so we can lift our heads up from the dark clouds and win the next two games which are Everton and Sunderland, then Tottenham and Man City which is a good running order from the weakest to the best in Man City. Sunderland i grade better than Everton because i think Régis Le Bris their Manager is decent and he will go on to lead a top team if results keep improving. Infact i look forward to Sunderland at home and it will be interesting to see if Marco Silva with the most managed clubs comes out tops over Regis with two professional clubs to his name. Regis i think is a very astute picker of players from a pool of players available to all managers at the start of the season and he has a good eye for players.
posted by OWEN - Saturday 01st November 2025, 9:16 PM Having Anderson back made a huge difference, he steadies down the defence is a calming influence and dangerous at set plays. A very good all round player.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 02nd November 2025, 12:04 AM Wolves are bottom of the league for a reason and showed with their play today. But you can only beat what is In front of you. If we could best Everton next week that would be a good win as they will close us down so much we will forget we are on the pitch.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 02nd November 2025, 12:15 AM Yes they annoyed me immensely Everton i am talking about. I travelled down to see us play them in the 3-1 loss to them. Very annoying because we went 1-0 up then the collapse which is so Fulhamish from us. Would like to see us come back and beat them proper away. We shouldn't lose to home advantage like we did to them. A good team wins the hard way on somebody else's patch.
posted by OWEN - Sunday 02nd November 2025, 3:23 AM I thought Josh King was the best player on the field with Tete next best . ESR when he came on needs to play like that from the start and for the whole match ! Kevin hugely disappointing , we are really missing Robinson and his speed down the left his return will change the dynamics for Sess , Bassey is starting to make too many mistakes for my liking maybe Cuenca should have started yesterday .
posted by fulham supporter (Guest) - Sunday 02nd November 2025, 6:15 AM Good to have for now to have most of our injuries problems behind us. Robinson is the biggest miss as he is a perfect fit for the team. Let us hope he is back soon as he is an ever present player.

Game scene and set looks primed for Traore to bring his 'A' game to his former club. We have plenty of good attacking options with the likes of Kevin and Sessegnon linking up but we need more cohesion and cut-throughs and goals. Would like to see a performance from Smith Rowe at some point in this one, contrary to opinions i think he has plenty ability and there is a lot more to come from him.

I am a born optimist but am concerned for the club due to the attitude of the people running it with baby Khan more involved with his wrestling outfit which is now getting exposure on television. We are missing key players which has obviously affected performances although, so are Spurs and they are doing alright. This is a team game but, at times the sloppiness of our passing you might wonder if some of our players were in league with the opposition. Despite all of this I am going for a narrow victory for us even though we might struggle to assert our authority on a team desperately fighting for survival. Pray that we will see a fighting performance from our players or take the bended knee.

posted by The Time Is Now - Thursday 30th October 2025, 2:38 PM Newcastle are one of the few prem teams from last year that we did the double over them and they will know that home advantage is not a given pass and go to the next round. They have beaten us once so far but it wasn't a walk-over. If and when we ever get our act together we can beat anyone, including an out-of-sorts Liverpool who are starting to look flaky. The premier league is serving up some unexpected results and surprises and the lack of consistency among the top clubs. Muniz who Newcastle showed a big interest with might be back for this one and Tete who needs to get himself fit good and proper. This Newcastle team don't look the strongest and the table shows that. We can do better, but we need a tactical master-class from the likes of Marco so let's start against Wolves at the weekend.

posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Wednesday 29th October 2025, 3:38 PM When everyone is fit, the following players are not first choice starters: Lacomte, Diop, Cairney, Reed, Traore, Kevin, Jonah, Castagne.

As documented below a dire performance against a struggling bottom of league 1 side. Credit to Wycombe for the way therapy played and taking us all the way, but the squad we have should still beat these sides more convincingly. Lack of urgency and wanting to attack quickly, especially I’d Traore is playing, usual fannying around at the back as I posted earlier and inability to break down 9-10 man defense if we make into there half. Lecnte, played well and good cover keeper, Diop was solid and dependable again, Cuenca looked good while on pitch. Can understand Silvia’s comments etc but need to accommodate different style of play. Think we are too predictable going forward, always down left hand side and not quick enough in transition. Need to be more forward positive.
posted by Sussexcol (Guest) - Wednesday 29th October 2025, 9:36 AM I watched the highlights yesterday and we created more than enough chances to win the game. All the players must practise shooting until it goes in from every position. If we cannot find a decent striker this is our only solution.

Troare is also, an utter waste of space, and he should be on his way. I was, like many others, over the proverbial moon, when he signed for us, but my illusions have now been shattered. Thank goodness for our reserve keeper, as he saved our embarrassment.
posted by AC (Guest) - Tuesday 28th October 2025, 10:24 PM Smith Rowe had one of his better games.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Tuesday 28th October 2025, 10:44 PM Firstly, nice to see Josh score his first goal and he played well. I also think Traore played well and he beat his man and put plenty of balls in, what else can a winger do? Our not scoring is not his problem and the blame should not be on him for our lacklustre performance. Our problem in the box is movement and the likes of Jimenez and the young German who came on have to learn better movement, get in front of the defender for instance. Dont stand in the penalty area expecting a pin-point cross to head etc. Paddy' with no Smith Rowe in the mix, why not comment on some players who are not putting in a shift or playing badly as Smith Rowe who you don't like. The team is bigger than Smith Rowe.

posted by Chief (Guest) - Wednesday 29th October 2025, 7:42 AM A lack of cohesion I reckon. Felt a bit sorry for Kevin and Traore, yes Traore, between them they put in quite a few passable crosses but there was no one there to take advantage. All a bit disjointed. Well done Lecomte ,saved our blushes and mentions for Sess and King, who really is classy, I wonder if he’ll ever bulk up like Ryan did. Would be someone to reckon with. Almost forgot to mention Cuenca who I think will be serious player in the next few years. But overall a pretty awful team display.
posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Wednesday 29th October 2025, 8:19 AM Our reserves beat them and we are in the quarter finals is it that bad.

posted by worple (Guest) - Saturday 01st November 2025, 1:38 PM

Thank goodness for Diop and penalties, well done Leconte for penalty saves. Yet again another poor performance, we should be all over these teams but still we piss about at the back and around the halfway line allowing the opposition to get 9 -10 men behind the ball and we lack the ability or class player to break it down. Would love to know how much of our possession and passes are between back 5, including keeper when we see end of game stats. We should attack these sides and not constantly look at passing back and sideways keeping possession. Looking at the other results Brentford managed to put 5 past their lower league opposition it’s a shame we can’t do that. Still await Wolves on Saturday and hopefully three league points, please.

posted by Ipitombi (Guest) - Monday 27th October 2025, 2:56 PM MST, trust you to come up with a sensible posting with regards to our losing problems. I have been saying all along, that any other team of our standing would have lost all of those fixtures on current form. Had we played West Ham, Wolves, and Burnley, we would be half way up the table by now. We have in fact beaten Leeds and Brentford as we would have been expected to, but the real tests are the next three games, against Wolves(who we lost to last season)Everton, who we usually do well against, and Sunderland, who are surprising everyone, but they won't surprise us, as we will know what to expect now. Yes, being in the bottom 4 is a concern, but we are not too downbeat just yet, and providing our injured players return we will be just fine. MST you and I have been these periods of losing over the years, in fact without looking at my records, there was a period the last time we were at the top table league, we went 13 games with just one win, and so far we have won 2 out of 9 with more to follow.

posted by Moderate Mod. (Guest) - Tuesday 28th October 2025, 10:01 AM It is easy to be critical but players are playing when not fully fit or are carrying a minor injury. We are certainly missing Munez, albeit a rough diamond, who has the ability to unhinge defences with his strength and tenacity. Since his injury our record has been poor and once he and Wilson are match fit I expect to see an improvement. In the meantime we have to utilise what resources we have and I believe both Kevin and Smith Rowe should start against Wycombe together with our loanee centre forward. This is an ideal game to blood a couple of young strikers from the under 21 team who might surprise some of us. If we don’t blood them in these games we will never be able to assess their potential. Please Marco give them some playing time.

posted by MST (Moderator) - Monday 27th October 2025, 2:39 PM Be very careful Bish the thought police are about. I agree with your observations, from a very positive position last season we have been unable to build on that whilst others have prospered. Pity but there it is, hopefully things will improve. I think that will very much depend on the new boys coming good.Fotunately for us Forest are in turmoil , West Ham really look rudderless and Wolves, who could improve are average , as are Burnley. Not sure that the status quo will be maintained. Meanwhile others will put it down to bad luck and like MST continue to criticise others for their views. Sad!
posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Tuesday 28th October 2025, 8:37 AM Morty, I read below that you and Bish are mates and that’s great but you’d be hard pushed to find any post that he makes that is, even slightly, positive. Jim is exactly the same. I do appreciate the views of others but it grinds you down when the posters I mentioned above NEVER have anything positive to say about the club regardless of any owner, manager and playing staff. Even wins and draws do not miss out on the negativity. On the flip side, I and some others also get fed up with TTIN always justifying everything the club does as positive. I’m not over the moon with our start to the season but it really isn’t the end of the world and there are several positives that can balance out some of the negatives. Our season so far (in my opinion) can be defined by individual mistakes, VAR errors and sheer bad luck but things can only get better. If some supporters expect every game to be classy football culminating in big victories, then they really are supporting the wrong club (and I don’t necessarily include Bish in that observation).

posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Tuesday 28th October 2025, 2:01 PM To put the record absolutely straight, Bish and I are not life long ‘mates’, we got to know one another other through the Messageboard and over quite a lot of years discovered that our early lives ran , if not in parallel, then definitely on very similar paths. My reason for becoming involved in this particular discussion was because I was fed up seeing you and others bullying and criticising anyone with a different view to yourselves. It’s apparent that someone like you and one or two others have an inability to respect contrary views.I appreciate that for someone such as yourself to ‘ continually have to read contrary opinions does your head in’, having the last word being so obviously embedded in your DNA. That of course is your problem to deal with, not Bish’s. All I have done is to step up against the hectoring and bully boy tactics you adopt to silence alternative views. I would do that on behalf of anyone being unfairly treated. There is of course one simple solution, if you see a post with Bish orJim’s name on it don’t read it. You will already at that point have condemned in your mind anything they will have written. Simples, to borrow one your sillier phrases. I agree with Bish and I believe you to be wrong. Note, I didn’t say ‘are wrong’ but that I believe you to be wrong. See the difference. Doubtless in the future there will be points of agreement for us all, but meantime, as the God Squad would say ….Know thy self. Live and let live.

I certainly don't like looking at the league table at the moment, but neither were Villa a few weeks ago, as they were in the bottom three, and now look where they are. As yet we are not in those dreaded places, but as all of us fans know, a couple of wins and up we go, but it is those two wins that are vital. It's a long season, so a lot can change, and will, so no long faces just yet, as our bad luck with VAR and injuries will change.

Sunderland has secured promotion through Régis, who has recruited from the same pool as Marco and teams around us. We all know deep down that you don't necessarily need to spend big; you just need to pick the right player for a particular position and know how to get the best from them. I genuinely believe that and maybe a good second in your coaching set-up will go a long way. It begs the question, are we missing Boa Morte more than we know at this time? My post will be irrelevant if we soon to start winning again.

These types of comment are childish in the extreme and people should know better. Based on your claim your first season watching Fulham was 39/40 I estimate your age to be somewhere between 90 & 100years. I applaud your lucidity but suggest with great age should come wisdom. Patronising? Possibly, but I can’t be bothered to argue semantics with you. I agree basically with Bish albeit I’m not in the habit of repeating it every week. I know your views and respect them. I think that’s least we can all do. Nice chatting to you.

posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Monday 27th October 2025, 12:01 PM Mortlake, first let me apologise to you and bishop as I try not to offend anyone. I have always commented on your excellent posts in the past and no doubt this will continue. If I have inadvertently upset bishop it was purely based on what I considered to be prolong negativity. In future I will take on board what you have said and be more careful as we all support our team. In turn I ask that bishop tries to be more positive as we all know we have not had much to cheer about so far. The Brentford jibe was uncalled for and I apologise. Please Arch bishop refrain from taking the Lord’s name in vain as it offends me and probably others. Once again please accept any comments which were probably should not have been made. Mortlake you have my age range correct.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Monday 27th October 2025, 12:45 PM I did not think Marco had any problems with managing the Club but having so many of his best players injured or unfit is beating him like it would beat most managers. It will get better as the better players get fit again.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 27th October 2025, 2:45 PM Your gracious apology is willing accepted, thank you. I trust that my responses were within the bounds of reason, as I, like you, would not wish to cause unnecessary offence. Intentional offence yes, but unintentional never:) Bish is a curmudgeonly old git, as am I, annd oft expressed grievances are borne of a genuine long standing and enduring love for the club. We were both born within spitting distance of the club and aren’t just fans we are born and breed Fulhamites, frustrations might be heightened by that association. My school lunchtime breaks were regularly spent down at the Cottage talking to the players of the day and regularly chatting with good old Tommy Trinder in whose big blue Bentley we would luxuriate whilst he regaled us with many an amusing story, when he had the time of course. Other times just a wave of acknowledgment. A great guy , as were most of the players who we’d watch train, which seemed to involve running up and down the terrace a lot. Then they’d be off down the Crabtree for a few recuperative pints and the odd fag. I tell you this rubbish so that you’ll appreciate our dissatisfaction and frustration when we see things going tits up, as we believe things currently are. Being called anything other than a Fulham fan hurts.Anyway fingers crossed and onwards, and hopefully,upwards.

All our players do not seem to be playing as well as last season. It is not much but it is enough for us to loose rather than win. We have a lot of injuries I suspect we also have lot of players in the team who are not match fit. The other factor could be the tricks Marco does to make most of the team to play better than you might expect have been found out by the squad who are not fooled anymore.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 26th October 2025, 3:29 PM Can you explain why they aint match fit??? do they not turn up at motspur pk only match days.?This squad look past there sell buy date ,we score and then sit back and just play pretty no aggression not much idea of how to control a game, wee has it gone wrong ?? its marco who gets the stick when push comes to shove , do we all really think he will stay ?, maybe january is the answer.
posted by the real arch bishop (Guest) - Monday 27th October 2025, 11:33 AM You do not know any players, if you did you would no most players pick up injuries every game but play on until they cannot. It is up to the manager to spot who is playing this dangerous game.

listen lads we’re so bad right now even Liverpool would beat us.
posted by Dellers (Guest) - Sunday 26th October 2025, 11:29 AM Good post Bigboy and i agree about Leno and i think Newcastle's high press strategy worked perfectly and we just could not get a foot or a hold in the game. Any kick-outs were straight back in and a pile in of more pressure which leads to mistakes. I am sorry to be saying this now more than ever, it is down to the Manager to tweak it, turn things around and get back into the game. Marco Silva is devoid and found lacking of ideas at the moment and game losses are racking up and i would expect the chairman to start looking and thinking if you know what i mean. I was rooting for Smith Rowe and he had the one good chance to score but he didn't. I put this down to lack of games and minutes on the pitch, Paddy will say something different i expect...
posted by OWEN - Sunday 26th October 2025, 11:38 AM I must say I agree with Bigboy, and I also wanted exactly what you outlined in your comments. I don't agree with a lot of our posters, that we have suddenly become a bad side, but certainly things have not gone in our favour since the start of the season, and it seems to be knocking our players confidence, as even when we score a good goal, or don't get the justified penalty. Even the press have sympathy for us at times. West Ham, and Wolves, are really bad sides, and we are not down to that level just yet, but beating Wolves on Saturday, is a must result game, as even myself Owen, MST, and Bigboy will start to have our doubts. We should take a good few points from our next three games, and then things will not seem to rocky.

Not lost faith in Marco and there is ample time to turn it around and i hope he does when injuries like Robinson and Muniz clear up. Interest in this guy Regis at Sunderland is just interest and let's see how far and how successful he is at Sunderland. I like his under the radar profile because he has spent more time around juniors and youth teams than he has in management. What is also interesting is that all clubs are in with the same chance for buying players on the market at the start of the season and i mean clubs around us. There will be players that Regis and Sunderland have purchased which we have overlooked and moved on. This guy Regis seems to know how to identify talent that can come into Sunderland and make them tick, that is a rare talent and i think if Sunderland not only survive in their first season and go on to finish higher up and maybe above Newcastle? Regis will be gold nugget dust and top clubs will be after him. I don't know his buy-out fee, and if he is the real deal we will not get him. I am careful to say all this if Marco Silva is toast. For the record i think Marco and Fulham will turn it around for the better. Our close game and form and loss to Chelsea shows me that. Lastly, something in the back of my mind tells me that there is more to come from the likes of Smith Rowe and our your star Josh King who runs about and he is a tryer. Could someone like Regis get more out of these young stars? I am tempting fate and the wrath of die hard Fulham faithfuls now so i bid you farewell...

Some strange results lately and we can also raise an eyebrow to Chelsea's loss to Sunderland. Are we beating ourselves up too much, time will soon tell us.
posted by OWEN - Sunday 26th October 2025, 12:19 AM So refreshing how all the teams are so unpredictable,a very long way to go the long throw and keepers being restricted to 8 seconds to get rid of the ball as well as VAR have almost transformed the game. The standard of the premier league is head and shoulders above any other league so to keep up with other teams is getting harder every season. I wouldn’t panic yet nobody wants 4 losses on the bounce but I’m confident we will climb the table.

Like Bassey but cause you can blame him lads worked there sock of to errors. One person who will be blaming him is Bassey will have nightmares tonight
posted by DMK (Guest) - Saturday 25th October 2025, 7:59 PM Wonder what response would be if Diop would have made same mistakes. Bassey wasn’t good today, perhaps Coenga should have kept his place following last eeeks display. It was a good display, but basic errors cost us
posted by Sussexcol (Guest) - Saturday 25th October 2025, 8:14 PM Whatever happened to our possession football? Normally, we hog the ball but today our first instinct was to kick out into danger areas and straight back to Newcastle players without thinking. Sometimes it happens to the best and Chelsea against us were brilliant yet not so good against Sunderland. I am still confident that we can play better than todays level and we will pick up points sooner than later. My only worry now is for Marco to rally our boys together and instil some confidence to our boys who look tentative sometimes.
posted by OWEN - Saturday 25th October 2025, 8:22 PM Diop was right up behind the German and hussled him but sadly sometimes Diop and distribution out is not brilliant and that's what you get with Diop.
posted by OWEN - Saturday 25th October 2025, 8:26 PM I didn't go to the game, so I can only rely on the highlights on MOTD, or our official website, and once again it seemed that we did play pretty well again, with the exception of Bassey, who had a poor game, and possibly cost us at least a point, which is a shame. Hopefully we will get back on track against Wycombe in midweek, and then follow up wins against Wolves, Everton, and Sunderland.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Saturday 25th October 2025, 10:48 PM Bassey makes too many mistakes and should be dropped Cuenca must be given a chance
posted by Fulham Supporter (Guest) - Saturday 25th October 2025, 11:23 PM I think Bassey was not fully fit as he normally has a lot of pace but he seemed very slow. Marco is very short of fit players and took a risk that did not pay off. We are loosing games narrowly I believe we will soon start winning narrowly when our best players return.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 26th October 2025, 6:30 AM I agree and have some sympathy about Bassey not being fully fit and also Tete isn't quite up to speed and we saw that in the first five minutes after he was booked. Bad call again from Marco and i am not Castange's biggest fan but maybe he should have played first half and maybe up to 68 minutes?
posted by OWEN - Sunday 26th October 2025, 11:28 AM Could it also be the players have worked out how Marco get the players to perform at a level above want you might expect and do not want to play that game anymore. This is how managers go from good to bad when the players do not trust them anymore.

For goodness sake everyone, stop panicking, it's so very early in the season, and we have had a hard run of games, with Bournemouth and Newcastle away, and mixed in with Arsenal at home. Any other club of our standing, with our injuries, and bad decisions, would have the same results. Calm down, we have a bunch of winnable games coming up, and then our smiles will be back on our faces.
posted by Alan B (Guest) - Saturday 25th October 2025, 5:33 PM We’ve not been beaten badly by anyone, and yes some hard games, and poor officials v Chelsea and Villa , but good sides go down need our luck to change or confidence will drain

Well there is a few surprises in our starting X1 today, with Lukic back, and ESR, given a starting spot, but no Harry Wilson at all. Tete back is a bonus, but still no sign of Jedi. If we manage a goal, let alone a point, it will almost be a miracle COYW.

posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Saturday 25th October 2025, 12:40 PM Jim, we have only played 8 matches, under more bad luck that is usual, so how can you possibly say that. If this was May, then you might have a good point, but it is far too early, for any club to forecast who will be in a relegation fight. West Ham and Wolves, look in early trouble, but they could both go on good runs, and climb up the table.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Saturday 25th October 2025, 1:17 PM I hope we hit form soon as there are 10 games in November and December. Include January for a total of 15. That’s 45 points up for grabs. On current form that’d be 15 points. That would leave a further 15 games in which we’d have to pick up another 17 points to survive another season. Can we do it?

posted by Jim (Guest) - Saturday 25th October 2025, 7:49 PM We are in a relegation battle because for the second year we didn’t buy a striker and to add to that we sold Stansfield. We are a lightweight team who need luck to score. Khan will regret the new stand in the championship. Need goal scorer and central midfielder.
