Disappointed with a draw but you can see we are very solid and confident, even though it was clearly our passing was not at the same level we can play. While wishing we got 3 points, we are now one win away from two teams. So that’s still progress. Next up Spurs. You never know, there is no reason why we shouldn’t go in thinking we can win. COYW.

To win matches you've got to score goals. Most of us knew we don't do it before today and nothing will change next week or the week after. Nothing will be changed and we will think at the end of the season what could have been. Its fact talking not my heart or wishes.

Parkers daft substitutions have cost us more than one win.We have a PL team with a Championship manager..No more excuses for this guy.

If you need to win matches you cant play a whole 45 minutes without one shot on target. Something has got to be changed in tactics if you want to get out of this battle.

All is not lost! We tend to play better against top teams and the stats tell us that. What risk will you take on 35 points? Roy is experienced as they come, but his methods are not mind-blowing. Remember that Palace tend to play games with the opposition on top and they have pick-pocketed games late on by throwing big guys in the box. How technical is that? We have made progress but albeit, not enough points to show for it. I can see and understand the worry, but we can still do it...

I don't often criticize folk but I have to say to OWEN "you are a real berk, my friend." Spurs, Liverpool, Man City up next. What's your forecast for points. Mine is between 0 and 2. Hope I'm wrong but we have a steep hill to climb from mid March.

Pleased with a point, although we should have won, but I said weeks ago, that Burnley will swop places with us before the end of the season, and I still believe that.

My prediction is that we will play okay and lose each one 1-0

Pope go to Sky sports Fulham and read the stats for that game and then offer real supporters your apology.

I cannot see us avoiding relegation with this weird block that stops us scoring ,we have cav reid, maja , mitro lookman, who cant score at all ,we control most of the game with pretty pretty football sideways and back wards , once in a blue moon we manage to find there penalty area,its all so pretty boring . Listening to mark hughes sneering at ffc made it worse like he has had so much succsess at league level, to little to late.

Will2B, what makes you think that even if we lost all three of our next games, that the teams above us are going on a winning streak, have you actually looked at the next fixtures of Brighton, Burnley and Newcastle, as I doubt very much if they have a win between them. Personally I don't think that we will lose all three anyway.

Yep know the stats saw the whole match but the real Stat 0-0 and 1 point. We did not have one shot on target at all nor did place First half. But i accept your apology.

And Ken i,ve had a season ticket for many many years. Thats what you call a real Supporter.

Nothing on target in that game???

You have to be clinical with your finishing in this league, we are wasteful.

Pope , having a season ticket makes you a real supporter ? What a load of cobblers . I’ve never had a season ticket but have never missed a game !

Pope I am 77 this year and have never supported any other club and am a season ticket holder. So lets agree to disagree on occasions.

Too many lunchtime pints Pope? :) Either that or get down to SpecSavers quick.

Sorry I'm a bit lost with this I said we went 45 minutes without a shot on target which we did in the first half of this match against Crystal Palace. The pundits watching the match laughed about it at half time. Where's the errror.

Other than the spelling of error

Pope, I think, due to your unusual wording we all read it that you said we didn’t have a shot on target the whole game. Re- Reading it I think you were saying, no shot on target in the first half. Forget SpecSavers, maybe a typing and grammar course:) Apologies.

No problem knew what I said in my own mind was correct.

We played ok first half no chances created needed to change it a bit second half. Personally. Thought his changes ok unfortunatly our new strikers got the same problem as mitro no service not our style of play personally thought we finished with a better team than the one we started. with certainly had more purpose although a bit more open
