When I watched Spurs lose to Man United, Spurs reminded me all the world like Fulham. We, like Spurs have taken the lead in so many games, and then start playing crab football, sideways, and often back towards our own goal, and Spurs are a blueprint of that, going on to lose again. They couldn't even hold a lead against a poor Newcastle last weekend. Isn't it strange how Scott Parker came from Spurs, playing the same type of football. Is that just a coincidence, or is that where he learned Parkerball ?

Newcastle won today and improving as a team. So too little and too late. We’d to win at least 4 of the last 6 games. Impossible! If Newcastle had lost today I’d give Sarri a two million pound bonus to keep us! Sarri is probably only manager can make an immediate impact. But too late now..

posted by Bobby Z (Guest) - Sunday 11th April 2021, 6:30 PM Alan, Howe got Bournemouth relegated. Parker has shown himself to be a good coach, we have just fallen short over these last three crucial games. He is a young coach and in his first full season got us promoted, many clubs have failed to do to get out of the Championship. Parker will have gained so much from this season and must be a better coach as a result.

Think you’re basically right Fulham Boy. Would you seriously expect any better from a team of loanees. Whilst I’m sure they played to the best of their ability loanees don’t go that extra yard for their club, simply because it isn’t. Love Parker or loath him he had a bum deal and was dealt a losing hand by TK from day one. Knowing very late where we’d be playing and scrabbling for loan players in the hope of creating a team was never going to work. Feel sorry for SP under the circumstances he hasn’t done so badly, he did get them playing some decent football in patches but it just wasn’t sustainable. As the old sages amongst us will know consistency is everything. In the end we lacked quality and flair. We had no match winners, Just journey men with no deep seated loyalty or love for the club. We have the nucleus of a good Championship team, get our loanees back, maybe, just maybe keep a couple of the loanees currently with us, plus a couple of real good flair new signings(fingers crossed) and we could set ourselves up just as Wolves have proved is possible. If you’ve supported FFC like quite a few of us for 60/70 years it’s just a blip, good times are just around the corner. COYWs.

A season full of false hopes, were shattered completely after six games, when we only picked up one point, and that was against Sheff Untd, who will join us next season. The trouble was from the start, that the words Fulham and winning, was hardly ever been able to be put into one sentence. and to only score 9 goals at home with two games to go, is an utter disgrace, in whatever division you are it. This should never, ever happen again in Fulham's history. I will expect to exceed that total after about 4 games next season. For once I almost feel ashamed to be called a Fulham supporter, but I will get over it in time for next season I suppose.

The Championship will bring a blessed relief, as then we can really look forward to winning games regularly once again. Whether we get shot of Parker or not, we should still have a team capable of winning the league, and not messing about in a Wembley play off once again.

Bobby' Rafa will require a big money budget before he even signs a Fulham contract. Can you see the Khans calling out for Rafa? No chance, the Khans don't want any manager in with budget ideas because they will need to spend and that is not an option right now at this moment in time. Parker will do us nicely thank you and chuck back to us all our loanees out there and all our other players still hanging in there in the hope of getting games. I might be wrong and the Khans might be more ambitious than we thought? I don't think they are looking for a change any time soon and we will soon know if they do or not...

posted by Kunye (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 10:46 AM The manager has got to go on hoping but I can't. He says we had twice as many chances as Wolves, true but we never looked like scoring. Lots of long balls to Mitro, but we never looked like scoring. Lot of passing from the back and quite a lot of good progressive play, but we never looked like scoring. Have we gone backwards as a team or have we been found out by all the other teams. Even if Newcastle lose tomorrow I cannot see us winning any of our remaining games. Scott Parker was understandably gutted with the late suckerpunch that defeated Fulham on Friday night. The players were visibly distraught after Adama Traore’s stoppage time winner for Wolverhampton Wanderers, but when asked if it would be hard to bounce back, our Head Coach remained defiant. “It’s a tough one to take. It’s not going to be a tough one to bounce back from,” he insisted. “It’s a painful one tonight and you obviously see that in the scenes at the end of the game, in terms of this team, how desperate this team are to be successful. “I asked the team to show fight, to show desire, to leave everything on that pitch tonight, and to a man – and I include the boys who were on the side – we did that. That’s the cruel side of football sometimes. Terence Kongolo and Antonee Robinson are devastated at full-time “I’m older than these players, I’ve not just experienced painful things in football, I’ve experienced them in life as well. What’s going to be the deciding factor when you get put to the canvas, the real character of someone is to get back up, and we’re going to have to do that. “We’ve done that for large parts of this year. When the chips are down and we’ve been put down, we get back up and we fight and we carry on doing that. The narrative will be that this was a must-win game, of course it was, but next week’s going to be a must-win game as well. “We’ve put ourselves in this position, with a real fighting chance, because of what you’ve seen at the end of the game, a team and a group of players that are desperate, that care passionately about us being successful this year, and with that spirit and with that desire, you’ve always got a chance. “You’ve always got a chance. And that will be our mantra, and we will continue. Scott Parker reacts to Wolves' late winner “It’s painful, we’re hurt, disappointed tonight, but as always when this happens, you get your guard up and you come out swinging. And that’s what we’ll do.” Fulham had twice as many attempts on goal as Wolves in what proved to be a frustrating encounter. “I thought we did everything,” Parker said. “[They’re an] organised team, limited them to very few chances, and the longer the game goes on, we commit more men, we want to win the game, and a ball that drops either side doesn’t quite fall for us. “And then the game’s decided in the last minute when their boy has gone through at a tight angle and smashed one straight through. “That’s painful, of course, but my team did everything in their powers tonight to try and nullify Wolves who’ve got talented players, which we did, and on the flip side of that they tried their hardest to win the game.”
posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 10th April 2021, 12:31 PM Bottom line we just haven’t been good enough this season, just have to learn from this and bounce back. But going forward we must learn from mistakes and not become a yo-yo club

posted by Jim (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 8:44 AM Parker is fantastic. We were never ready to be promoted. We lost first 6 or so and he turned team around with loan players. Amazing feat. We have run out of energy and luck and Mitro has been poor. Scott will stay and those who want instant success and sacking should go to Chelsea where the fans have no connection to the club. Scottie to stay and we have a great season in the championship which is a real competition. Prem league is TV. Asia bore
posted by Phil (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 8:45 AM Some people are already living in fantasy land. Almost all the loan players will jump ship when we are relagated and what we are left with will not mount any sort of promotion challenge in the Championship. Be lucky to be mid table unless we get some better players in for next season.
posted by Morph (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 8:55 AM Sorry mate but Parker is Clueless. He has turned nothing much around with us winning 5 games all season and losing the last four when we desperately needed goals and points. We never seem to have a shot on goal in the first half of any match and he changes nothing leaving us playing the same negative football every week. How has Mitrovic become a bad player when he goes off and scores in International games against good sides yet Parker plays his same football week in week out which doesn't work. Our defence is better but we were never going to score enough goals to win matches. We hear the same post match conference every week and how proud he is of our players who will be off elsewhere next season rather than play in the championship. He tells us how they are going to work hard and try to produce better but they never do. As someone said, Villa and Wolves without star players are there for the taking but not by us.
posted by The Pope (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 9:23 AM Phil what nonsense to suggest that Chelsea fans have no feeling for their club I know a few Chelsea supporters and they are just as passionate about their club as we are of ours. As for SP he is on a three year contract and I would expect him to see it through. Like us all I am gutted we appear to have blown a real chance of survival . We were always going to struggle in the Premier and it’s a great shame because I don’t believe will are good enough to come straight back up. There’s an old saying ‘ when the going gets tough the tough get going’ that would appear to sum us up ‘ mentally we are not tough enough

posted by Cottager (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 10:08 AM sort of with you Phil if Fulham did or would of stayed up everyone would be kissing Parkers a--- be careful who you wish for we are only looking for a manager to keep us in the prem that's all because with the other 10 clubs around that bottom,they will never win anything and it becomes boring its all money money look at the Wolves striker on the bench did he cost 30 mill ?yawwwwnnning now
posted by worple (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 1:07 PM

Yep we could do with another striker but to support Mitro who is one of the few decent players we have. You don’t score 26 goals in the Championship and take the Club up without having something about you! He also was top scorer in a hopeless side during our last Premiership sojourn. The question is why hasn’t SP managed to utilise Mitros ability? Bottom line is with one or two exceptions - Mitro being one of them - we have no quality and a team of average Championship players
posted by Morph (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 8:17 AM I wasn't completely surprised by Parkers after match interview, as it was the sort of interview I was expecting, which was utter nonsense. How could he say that he was proud of the team, and they way they fought until the end. What match was he watching. We did not fight until the end, and we rolled over to a team that will probably be in the relegation zone themselves next season. Why didn't he just say, that we played really badly, and we were so lucky not to be a goal down in the first half, with that joke VAR taking away a perfectly good goal from Wolves. No Scott, you should try to be honest with our fans and yourself, and admit that both you and the team are out of our depth in this league. Newcastle, Burnley, Brighton, Palace and Southampton, are also out of their depth, in the Premier League, but they seem to muster enough points to survive, and I might add, that we have not beaten any of these sides. I rest my case.
posted by Brian Jarvis (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 8:41 AM I honestly don't believe this is Parker's team, I'm convinced he's under instructions to keep picking the players on loan who will be happy to leave the sinking ship.

posted by Nosey Parker (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 7:16 AM

Yes, we get all understand mistakes have been made this season, which historically was caused by our last Premier league residency. Tony Khan foolishly believed the moronic media purporting the myth that we spent too much and changed the team too much which is why we got relegated. On both occasions the Championship team we got promoted with was not good enough and needed wholesale changes, last time we bought poorly this time we bought too late and only on loan.
posted by Nosey Parker (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 7:21 AM

100% agree. Great point.
posted by Jim (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:42 PM Excellent summary NRL.We have a generous,well-meaning owner who has sadly given the role of director of football to his useless,incompetent,ignorant son.Until Tony Khan relinquishes the DOF role to somebody who knows what they are doing this club is going nowhere !!!
posted by GEZZA (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:52 PM This was an excellent period of recruitment for Tony Khan in terms of defenders, defensive midfielders, and a keeper. But he didn’t clean house quickly enough. Needed a real football man to ask, “Where are the goals coming from?” ... and to see that Seri, SteJo, Abou, MLM, etc were NEVER going to contribute. RLC was a mistake. Cav, Bobby Reid, Lookman, Maja — none is PL quality. With TC hurt, there is no creativity in the team. Parker has no levers to pull really.
posted by Drago (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 1:47 AM NRL supporting Fulham is a roller coaster, they have always gone up & down like a whores knickers in my 50 odd years as a supporter....I agree TK is not the man we need in the transfer market....But it could be worse (Sunderland, Bolton & Wigan to name a few)....We could surprise Arsenal & Chelsea & nick a few points....the fat lady is on stage but the song is not over.

posted by OWEN (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:35 PM If as you say Kamara will be back, then I for one won't be. I fully intend to renew my season ticket in the Championship, but definitely NOT, if Kamara returns, as they in Dragons Den. I'm out.
posted by Malden Mick (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 11:21 PM Malden Mick' i heard on the grapevine that Andersen's agent is touting him about to Man Utd and Andersen's old club has valued him at 25 million. The harsh reality is that all the loan players will be gone and we will re-call all our loanees if back in the championship. If we scrape survival, will our owners cough up 25 mill for Andersen and buy Lookman ect? We don't fully know the ambitions of our owners after the building of the new stand? Kamara is likened to a bull in a china shop and he comes with the princely price-tag of 5 mill. The Khans look the type to re-coup and use this situation to build Fulham on a shoe-string budget? Unless our owners show some more interest than a fleeting look over their shoulders...
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 2:15 AM Even if we stayed up Andersen will be off to Spurs.
posted by Nosey Parker (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 6:58 AM Is it a surprise. Whether we stay up or not l don’t think he would have stayed especially if spurs or Man U are sniffing around him.

Well that's it then, we are back where we started. If Scott Parker is going to be our manager in the Championship, start planning now for at least two fast wingers, to supply Mitro with at least more scoring chances. Don't be too downhearted, as this time next season we will be getting ready to celebrate winning the Championship.
posted by A C (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:25 PM This is why we lost! At least Loftus Cheek can get into positions of real intent. Traore scored his first goal in '20' games!!!!!!!!!!! If Traore was Loftus Cheek, he would have been lambasted by you guys a long time ago!!!!!!!! Learn the dynamics of football!!!!!!! Loftus is coming back from a long-term injury but at least he is trying and he is the very few we have who looks threatening or even likely to score goals. 20 games for Traore before delivering one goal, what is that about??? Parker took off the wrong guys and we got it badly wrong. Loftus Cheek isn't a problem, we have bigger problems than Loftus Cheek, get over it!!!!!!!
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:30 PM Not sure which match(es) you’ve been watching Owen to think that RLC has been playing with ‘intent.’ I’ve never seen such a 50:50 bottler. Just don’t get what he’s meant to be...not a striker (doesn’t score), winger (can’t cross), attacking midfielder (gets dispossessed when running with the ball.) So I’d love to know what he does bring to the team..... Should have played two strikers for longer, Anguissa as a driver for longer. Instead we played safe, plodding sideways football with no desire. Dispiriting really. And Lemina crying at the end....

I have never been one to jump on the Parker out bandwagon, but after tonight, I unfortunately have to jump on board. Only Fulham could have lost that game, as Wolves were awful. We missed Lookman tonight but that's no excuse.
posted by Malden Mick (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:11 PM I feel a little sorry for Scott but the truth is we will never have any success whilst Daddy lets Tony hold the reins. Tell Tony to go off and play full time with his wrestlers and put a proper football man in charge who can build his own squad, not try to mould Tony's.
posted by NRL (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:13 PM

Loftus Cheek was awful , he contributed nothing other than missing a sitter , second half he did bugger all , then Parker cuddles him on the touch line , he should have chinned him
posted by Alan (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:06 PM A sad night, but with such a lack of urgency about the team,we can't say we were unlucky. How come a billionaire invest his hard earned money and appoints novices to manage it! Who would do that? Wake up board!
posted by Aussie Mal (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:10 PM This is the thing Alan' Loftus Cheek is the only player worth talking about because he is the only player on that pitch who conjures up a threat. He missed but i would rather we keep him on to miss again and then maybe he scores one just like Traore did. 20 games counting and Traore sinks us. I don't think that Loftus Cheek goes 20 games like that without scoring? Who else looks a threat in this Fulham side? Is there anyone else worth talking about?
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:43 PM OWEN pleeeeaase stay off the wacky backy or whatever it is you are on.. "conjures a threat" ?? He conjures sweet FA and everyone else can see it except you. I get that you can only focus on one player at a time ie. AK47 last year, but really you need to put the keyboard away for a while.
posted by Fred (Guest) - Saturday 10th April 2021, 7:18 AM

You can't play attacking football unless you pick attacking players. I doubted our starting 11 and was unfortunately proved right. If you want to attack you don't rely on Tete and Robinson.
posted by NRL (Guest) - Friday 09th April 2021, 10:06 PM Well we never thought we had any attacking talent really or did we? Who dribbles past someone with some pace on this team? Anguissa maybe but he generally is too far from goal. Who scores goals on this team? At the end of the day, when looking back, our best results we did achieve when playing ultra conservatively. Many around here were moaning back then, but if you don’t have quality enough players, it’s maybe better to just not get any goals against. That being said, last week was harsh, this week also. Always the guy who cannot find the net for their current team somehow manages to score against us... sigh. Newcastle are still there for the taking and their schedule is brutal but where do we get any points from really? Pretty discouraging past few weeks. :(
