I am not saying that we can keep up a pace-high tempo for 90 minutes by a long chalk, but we sure can add more injection of pace through being clever and astute. We can use our pace within our team in both halves, we can be cute. Our obvious pacier guy is Kamara who is showing his importance to this Fulham team, Kamara could figure from the start. Saying that, 90 minutes will be impossible for Kamara to keep up, and he will probably be substituted at some point. It could be a lively Derby game between us 2 teams and Bristol will have their chances for sure. I suggest we hold back Cavaliero and bring him on at half-time to raid and run amock down that left side, Cavaleiro seems more effective on 45 minutes in my opinion. If we can hold a nice lead going into the 2nd half? The services of big Mac for Johansen might be a good choice to close out this Derby game. Not sure if mad Harry is ready for this battle? We sure can do with his dogged tenacity and experience for this game...

Same old, same old, tired team selection. Answer me this Owen; why are we so boring to watch?

Arizonan' surely we were not boring against Derby?
We were majestic, this is the Fulham that i like to watch and beating Derby was one of the season highlights for me. 'Boring'??? I am one of Parkers biggest critics, but if he can keep this tempo and quality play up against Bristol and Brentford and we win these, my xmas presents are complete happy days!!! I am obviously excited because Kamara who i rate is getting more game-time now, and our team is cooking with rocket fuel. Is it just me who can feel it???

Perhaps sorporific is a better word than boring. Sleep inducing other than the adrenaline rush of fear when the opposition charge forward with the ball. Parker is assured his position, and I don't have a problem with that, but all the keep-ball in the world doesn't equate to class football. All the wonderful cameo players touted as God's answer to dull football - how many goals have they scored? If you take Mitrovic out of the equation what are you left with? FA, and I don't mean the Football Association.

It takes time Arizonan' agree Cavaleiro, Knockheart, Reid, etc should be chipping in with a few more goals, we have improvement to come yet. Knockheart is frustrated at his lack of goals and we can see that judging from his expression. The more he tries, the harder it is for him. It doesn't mean that he is not effective or doing a job. The more he dribbles up the pitch is the more the clock runs down lately when we are winning. A lot of experts and pundits think we are wonderful and think we are the dogs B.ll..cks in this league. Arizonian, you must have fell off that rodeo horse and banged your head on a cows Back=s..e too many times and counted to 9 instead of 10, surely you can see some improvement? We are deemed good enough to do well and get out of this league. It is a whole different ball-game and headaches if we get to the prem. Scott Parker who is no different from Man-utd's rookie Soltsjar will need to improve on his management skills again. A step up to prem might mean a more experienced manager might be needed. Hey' Rome wasn't built in a day and where is that blighter MST? This guy might have been captured by some tree people in the Dean Forest or something. Come to think of it' since he has depaterted, you seem to have lost your mo-jo and talk more jibberish these days. You need to send for a Fulham shirt with 'AK-47' written on it and wear it at those rodeo shows you frequent. It sure would cheer you up. AK-47 Kamara is the man Arizonan' Say it a few times before bedtime and i am sure the belief will come back. COME ON FULHAM!!!!!!!

I know i can repeat myself unnecessarily on here sometimes, and on this occasion, it is a pleasure to mention 'PACE'. My same old rubbish was the order of the day against a wise and crafty Lee Johnson of Bristol City, who had us 'Sussed'!!! Kamara was the key player to start the game and it looks like a rejuvenated Neskins Kabano is ready for a start in the next game. Make that 2 difficult away games Preston and a stonker against Brentford. Leeds after that won't care what tactics we go for because they come with their own game-plan. Bielsa is a top manager and he will react to whatever situation confronts him. I think Scott Parker over-thinks situations too much and there are still some details to learn about management proper. We can't always start fast and maintain a quick tempo, so Parker will need to implement his management skills and pay more attention to our midfield more often. Tom Cairney will need to step up his none existant leadership role and take more responsibility. Cairney needs to adapt to different games and dynamics each week. We don't get games that go our way like the Derby County game too often. Maybe Harry Arter is needed asap to save our season because a difficult period is about to begin...
