I agree, in fact there was an odd feeling about the whole affair. While everyone was seemingly happy for the sluggish ESR to score, almost no one felt compelled to congratulate Traore. It felt like the game was played at half speed by both teams as though they have conceded relegation and we have conceded a place in Europe, content with a mid-table finish. Odd.
posted by Ted (Guest) - Monday 20th January 2025, 10:04 AM For once I agree with you Ted. Very strange that no one appeared to congratulate Traore on a magnificent goal.

posted by Ipitombi (Guest) - Monday 20th January 2025, 12:00 PM Both the goals were well made and well taken, but that is not the sort of thing that is expected of us. We are expected to give away games and goals as we have done a dangerous number of times this season. Our centre back plays in a relaxed style but he is still very good as his defending and passing both long and short it excellent. He did not have his best game but let us not judge him on one game.

Great post
posted by Brain Doctor (Guest) - Monday 20th January 2025, 5:34 AM Getting Berge straight back and putting on a high quality performance was great. Him and Lukic infront of the defence is a perfect fit. Wilson(or Traoré), Smith-Rowe and Iwobi infront of them and Jiménez as the striker looks good. When Nelson and Tete return they add additional attacking options.

I thought he had just started a four year drug ban from football. Are we seeking him as a scout perhaps?
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 19th January 2025, 5:06 PM How much trouble would he be playing football? He can pass a ball through the eye of a needle and he would be a perfect anchor-man and run a midfield just like he did for France. The problem is, how fit is he, and can Pogba still play top-level required? He is younger than Willian, who we doubted, and look how he turned out. We Fulham seem to have a reputation for turning bad boy players around and if anyone can, Marco is the man...

posted by peterjeremy - Saturday 18th January 2025, 10:13 PM Why do some of you harp on about getting into Europe, as at this stage, as a settled Premier League club, it would do us more harm than good. At present we don't have enough depth in our squad to hold our own in the Premier League and dabble in Europe. Personally I don't feel that we will qualify for Europe anyway, and our focus for now, should be trying to hold a top 10 spot, and making a serious assault on the FA Cup.

posted by Mortlake - Sunday 19th January 2025, 4:20 AM What a difference having Berge back in the team makes. As MOTD pointed he wins the ball frequently and passes accurately. Some players who have had a long injury break, like Smith-Rowe, can take a considerable time to get fully match it. Let us hope we will now see a step up in his performance. If Traoré can add regular goal scoring to his talents we have a better version of him than any team has had before. It must hurt the players badly to realise how many more points we could have with a lttle more effort from them. This realisation must drive this improving group of players to great things in the second half of the season.

posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 19th January 2025, 10:31 AM This is one of the sensible set of postings that I have been involved in for quite some time, and a real pleasure to read. What a pity it isn't more like this. To add my two pence worth, I have to agree, that although it would be very exiting to be involved in some type of European football, and obviously seeing teams from other counties performing at CC, I feel like some others, that this would be far too soon. We are beginning to establish ourselves, as a decent, yet inconsistent Premier League club, but at present, not quite good enough. Providing that we hold on to Marco, and make ma couple of different signings in the summer, we will be able to push on next season, and then, and only then, will we be able to really think about Europe. Surprisingly, Nottingham Forest seem to be heading for Europe, and good luck to them, but aren't we one of the few teams to have beaten them this season, and away as well. the return at CC, will be interesting. One last thought, is if we win the FA Cup, or even the final, we might have to play in European football, probably against our will ! !
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Sunday 19th January 2025, 11:13 AM No club will play in Europe with regrets as it brings more money to the club that means better players and hopefully more success.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 19th January 2025, 4:52 PM Just one point both the goals we scored were my two of our players unmarked in the box. How often does the occur.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 19th January 2025, 5:49 PM My point about Boro was that Europe can be a poisoned chalice for smaller clubs. It took Boro 2 years to get relegated, it took us 4. It's not always the launching pad to further success, better players mean bigger wage bills and more fixtures mean extra pressure on a limited squad. West Ham have not been relegated.. yet.

That West Ham result looks all the more annoying now.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Saturday 18th January 2025, 5:04 PM Ridiculed is a bit strong. Some have, quite rightly, pointed out that their goal scoring has not been up to speed. Bournemouth are beginning to be a challenger for positions 6 -9 so I for one think their results should be of interest to us. It’ll come down to who is the less inconsistent. Both Forest and Newcastle have hit form at a critical time Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and City plus those two look like the possible top 6 places. So that leaves around 5 teams vying for 7th and 8th spot. It’ll be close. Can’t afford the stupid mistakes and throwing points away.

Craven, I'm not frustrated, I'm bloody angry, to tell the truth. Not beating the likes of Wolves, Southampton, Ipswich twice, West Ham twice, Everton, and Bournemouth, most games of which we had taken the lead. Yes, we have had some good wins like Brentford Chelsea and Newcastle, but even those results, have made me less angry. If we lose to Leicester on Saturday, I really will blow my top, as this is a help yourself to 3 points match.
posted by Brian from West Sussex (Guest) - Thursday 16th January 2025, 11:40 PM Yes frustrating,as 19 games we have been in front and not ended up with victory. I feel part of the reason has been long term injuries to important players, Tete has been outstanding and is better defensively than Castagne. Nelson was playing well, his injury has Marco deciding to play Iwobi on the left, losing his influence, he produces when playing in a more central advanced midfield. Lukic can not hold the defensive duties on his own, Berg's injury leaves a selection of Smith-Rowe, Perrera, Cairney as a sub as the other ball winner. King looks such a prospect but he is another player suited to going forward. My frustration is the performances of Smith-Rowe, Traore, continued selection of Perrera, who seems to be angling for a move resulting in Marco leaving him out for one game. Are just not good enough at this level. Andersen also has been underwhelming. The two most expensive signings have been dissapointing.
posted by denny (Guest) - Friday 17th January 2025, 8:06 AM As I keep repeating, cut out the mistake and learn to not give away points by carelessness. If we can do that in the half of the season we can rise up the table as only Liverpool and Forest are concistently winning at present.

As I have said, Leno will not make the same mistake again. Football is funny, I said to my wife when we were dominating the game in the first half, if we do not score they will break away and score. Football is never fair and frequently decided by who makes the least mistakes.
posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 15th January 2025, 5:52 PM Perhaps now we will stop this p…..g about at the back and attack a bit quicker. We are not good enough and somewhat predictable. By the time we eventually pass 5he half way line the opposition have 9 men behind the ball and unfortunately we haven’t the ability to break it down. As much as Jiminez has progressed he doesn’t always hold the ball up as well as Mitro used to, the same with Muniz. Still a bit worried that there may not be any additions this month, even though we desperately need a more dominant striker, or creative player. Would like to see Josh King given a run, but realize this must be managed properly and for his own good. I hope their is an improvement Saturday and we come away with three more points

When Pereira first joined the club Marco played him in an attacking No10 role where he looked dangerous and creative , this season he has played as some sort of holding midfielder which he clearly is not . Smith Rowe is clearly a great footballer with amazing ball control on the run but he appears to be stifled and unsure of his role now . Marco needs to resolve this .

Shocking ha d 4 shots on target gifted 3 goals ffc should and could have got at least one point going forward future teams won’t be so generous and the forwards are non existent think they could be in for a tough time without there best players as for us typical display same defensive problems not sure we are up to playing the ball around defensively our strengths are forward at pace hopefully berg will be fit soon and a rethink of personal and formation with regret pereira of form needs to be benched ditto smith rowe must win Saturday after Wednesdays game played we will probably drop a couple of places next home game Man U not our best home fixture historically

posted by Randy Andy (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 9:17 PM Don't be silly, Freddie Potter got lucky. Our incompetence help them win tonight, they are not that good and Potter out the game too long. We are our own worst enemy, we know suicide passes out from the back would catch up with us and unfortunately it was tonight against a ordinary West Ham. If that was a tactical game in master-class from Potter, perhaps we should hire him? Not a chance!!!!!!

posted by Ready Freddy (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 9:03 PM Leno, has had a real shocker tonight, and I blame him for 2 goals. We deserve nothing from this game. European football we are having a laugh. We must concentrate on an FA Cup run now, with absolutely nothing else to play for.

Time for the Board to step in and make the sale. More time for Josh King. Berge returning in the near future. Iwobi can play the 8. Sell AP and strengthen!!!
posted by Drago (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:29 PM The pundits keep singing Silvas praises , Fulham fans know he iIS responsible for a lot of dropped points , let’s see if he can turn this round . Early substitutions are needed but they will park the bus and we can’t break that down
posted by Brain Doctor (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:32 PM

agree re AP but what was Leno thinking. We look stale, flat and out of ideas.
posted by Ready Freddy (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:17 PM lukic smith and pereira pathetic today. josh reed and adama would do a better job. Nobody like us to make an ordinary team look good
posted by T.NO (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:22 PM It’s been proven time and again. AP isn’t a starting player in a top 10 team. He and ESR together are incredibly lightweight. We are much stronger with Iwobi or Berge partnering Lukic. It’s time to sell AP — he keeps costing us points, starting with the botched pass against Man U on opening day. Silva has such unjustified faith, given the mountain of evidence, including statistics that show AP as a poor passer who is weak in the tackle. Were it not for the false inflation of his performance by taking corners, it would be clear he’s nowhere near the top half of CMs in the Prem.
posted by Drago (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:27 PM AP, should be sold immediately, whatever the offer. He has just cost us 3 points, but I'm sick ant tired of this short passing in our penalty area. Get the ball as far away from our goal as possible, as they can't score from their end. This display is garbage.
posted by LTS (Guest) - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:27 PM Agree West Ham are very ordinary. We do the monster work and squeeze them and they have no runners up top. A bad miss from Wilson early on maybe set the scene and tell us that we won't get nothing from this game no matter the amount of possession. Jimenez has got to do better with that header point-blank. Our shooting is woeful! I didn't expect Robinson to slot in a routine ball that every striker should get on target. Why we can't get shots on target is a mystery with Wilson Pereira Smith Rowe showing no direction. Things can only get better with the obvious subs second half. I would slot Muniz in because of his quality goal last week. take Jimenez of and Pereira
posted by OWEN - Tuesday 14th January 2025, 8:35 PM

is Smith Rowe going to put in any effort

We're more likely to sign Douglas Bader.

Arch-bishop, I think that the George Eastham case in 1963 abolished the retain and transfer system. Players are able to request a transfer regardless of the length of their contract.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Sunday 12th January 2025, 3:16 PM The luck of the draw, as even being Fulhamish, we should beat either team, Mansfield or Wigan, despite being drawn away. Could this be our year ?

I’m too busy reading their climate change exclusives on the ‘news’ site. There’s an article there asking why it’s so cold. It’s the middle of January so the only explanation must be some dastardly Elon Musk plot to destroy Britain. The man’s a monster!

(Guest) - Sunday 12th January 2025, 2:42 PM Correct' Milliband turned the gas off leaving Labour p.ss.ng in the wind on wind farms that need manual workers to climb up there and turn the wheels. The only snag is we need to get some of our slackers to toe the line if only we could sign them off the sick. I wonder if we can get remote control drones to work those windmills? I am not a fan of fruit-nut Trump but he is onto a winner by using old God given tried and tested methods for getting energy and the saying goes' 'DRILL BABY' DRILL' OIL!!!!!!! It's not rocket science but we manage to wreak our economy wide open again and again.

posted by Keep the Home Fires Burning. (Guest) - Sunday 12th January 2025, 4:49 PM The whole of London according to the air quality index website showing extremely unhealthy air quality right now over London, guess the clean air zone isn't working like they claim it is. Heard electric vehicles are going cheap or you could always pay 12.50 because that stops pollution too. The mayor should start changing the planes at Heathrow 12.50 to stop them polluting he'd make a fortune
