Good 3 points. the BBC says: "Since the start of November, only Manchester City (21), Aston Villa (21) and Arsenal (17) have earned more points in the Premier League than Fulham (15). Fulham have also won four of their last six Premier League games (lost two), as many victories as they enjoyed in their previous 15 games (drawn two, lost nine). It doesn't feel like it though does it?

Another three points and again above big 6 teams like spurs again and other sky wonder teams. I’m sure if forest would have won 1-0 it would have been a great result. Great to see Dyche storming off pitch, but wish we would go for 2nd goal and easier win. Another good game by smith-Rowe and Kevin seemed better, also Cuenca solid again.

Funny I thought Kevin was doing much better tonight, as he definitely slowly but surely is improving. I don't like attacking the Putney end in the 2nd half though, as we seldom score that end. I'd still take a draw in the end.

He's had loads of injuries in the last few years! If we had signed him, many of you would complain why we signed another player with a hospital pass and beside, if we did sign him, he would probably be injured again by now.

Trouble brewing I'm afraid with a depleted squad, so strengthening is so vital in January, both for our fans, and of course Marco, as this could be the red line to determine whether Marco stays with us or not. No signings, or no good ones, means no Marco, will be off, Im afraid.

posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Sunday 21st December 2025, 3:26 PM Me' Me' also! I think i earned that right to be in the Mensa club, cos i was the one of few who defended Smith Rowe Lol! Seriously guys, i just think Smith Rowe is a really good player and a cut above Josh King. This might sound controversial and fans have different opinions but i really believe that Marco's decisions to take off Smith Rowe in some games have lost us games. Fulham v Man City was a good example of bad decisions from Marco and that decision to take off Rowe for King was a big mistake at 4-5 and that miss from King right at the end showed that. Not saying Smith Rowe would have been in the exact position as King to receive that ball but Rowe has demonstrated numerous times that he has the intelligence and psyche to turn up in those goal opportunity areas, you can't buy or teach that, you just know it. This is why i doubt Marco sometimes because i think he makes rash decisions when under pressure. A Palinha return would suit us i think because he has that drive and surging ability and he can pass a ball along with scoring great goals. I think some of us fans have short memories of Palinha. He is not suited for Bayern Munich or Spurs. Our set-up and being a smaller club suits him better. Yellow cards are an issue, though but we can work with that. Buy Chukweze and chuck a 25 mill offer for Palinha in January and see what happens.

He has been with us in 2024 and bar a couple of games at the start he has been average at best. Until shonky Kevin joined he was our record signing and until recently couldn't get in the starting 11. If that floats your boat then your expectations are very low, and he is this seasons' saviour we are in real trouble.
posted by Fred (Guest) - Sunday 21st December 2025, 9:01 PM ESR is beginning to show his class , we are lucky to have him in our team , pity you can’t see that , but then again there’s always one !
posted by Jim (Guest) - Sunday 21st December 2025, 9:46 PM I agree, Fred Smith Rowe did not set the world on fire when he first arrived, and our son and heir, Josh King took over the spotlight. Josh quickly made a name for himself with his mazy runs and determination. Not saying Josh was ineffective, he certainly added to some assists and if i remember he scored a good goal in a cup match and add to that a decent goal that should have been a start to his goal-scoring Premier League career but it was chalked off. Maybe if that goal had stood Josh may have gone on to bigger things. This is purely my opinion and i think that Josh King rightly or wrongly got the lion-share of the minutes pitch-time and Smith Rowe received less because he looked lazy and disinterested. Pardon the pun Paddy but the truth is in the pudding. Smith Rowe is the more productive given time on the pitch more so than Josh King and the record shows it. Why on earth would you limit pitch time for your record signing i will never understand and this is one of the reasons for the criticism towards Marco Silva. Anyway, onwards and upwards now and we have a challenging match against Forest which won't be easy. Our defence is severely weakened without the towering presence of Bassey and we need Cuena to do a lot more than last minute lunging stoppers. I wouldn't blame Marco for playing Berg and Lukic together tomorrow night but i think Smith Rowe should be in the mix. Kevin isn't looking too convincing but i think a good talking to from Marco should instil confidence that is missing from his repertoire, he certainly is gifted and he is another one who we should persevere with and play him.

Your point about subs is increasingly relevant, these rich clubs can have a benches stuffed with game changers as Newcastle showed, and they are not top tier. I can’t ever see Fulham being able to compete at that level. And the financial gap worsens I’m afraid. Cuenca was not simply good he was excellent and I thought ESR continued to improve. As per usual the substitutions were beyond mad, but we expect that. Traore? Please! And to keep feeding King to the wolves will eventually destroy his confidence. If your trying to dig in and not concede anymore you need to strengthen the defence not have two ineffectual players running around contributing nothing.

Something about our former colony that nearly always brings us down. It probably would have been better to play a stronger team before facing Australia and we should have played other games in the Country. There wickets and weather conditions are so different from anywhere else just turning up for the first game and hoping for the best are not seb=nsible tactics. It is like us starting the new season having not played since the end of last season.
posted by The Time Is Now - Thursday 18th December 2025, 1:36 PM

Palhinha wouldn't solve our problems. He plays in a similar position to Berg, who is one of our most consistent player. Palhinha is not a creative midfield player and he's passing is very average. We need an upgrade on Lukic, who can come forward with more penetration and ability to hit long passes. We have a big problem up front as there's no competition and even when Muniz returns, he doesn't have the quality, which Raul has but he's age is definitely catching up on him. Josh isn't ready this season and Cairney is also too old. I am glad Smith Rowe is now playing well but he has no back-up. I only hope Josh beef up this year and be ready for next season. Some of us thought we bought a potential 100m player in Kevin but he still need a lot of coaching before he is anywhere near he's price point. I agree with Marco - we need to add another 100m of quality players into the squad.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Thursday 18th December 2025, 9:29 AM I still think that Palinha is still worth a punt if he comes back and the price is right. Remember the goals he scored for us and some were spectacular. Palinha was good for 8-9 goals a season with us and neither Berg or Lukic can get that many. Palinha can also operate as a stopper and blocker but we have to excuse his yellow card pick-ups. Smith Rowe Wilson and others can still chip in for goals and creativity and its just the striker situation we have to sort out.

Overall I thought we played well, but as usual we lacked a striker, but some of our football was delightful at times, but Kevin just has to improve, as he doesn't look worth the money we paid for him at present.

We played well again, but not well enough I'm afraid, but it was just as well that it didn't go to penalties as with our keeper, we wouldn't have had a chance. I'm very disappointed in Kevin, as I didn't think for one minute, that he was as poor as that, and one wonders which of our scouts picked him up. Hopefully in another seasons time, I will have to eat my words, when he is scoring every week, but somehow now doubt it now. With so many big guns now left in this trophy, it is probably just as well, to go out at this stage, and now we can get on with winning League points, and now let's give the FA Cup a real go.

Are you guys concerned if Wilson plays as well in the next 4-5 games as the last, one of the big boys will come for him for free? Which would leave Fulham zero chance of resigning him. At the same time, we need him continue scoring. We are in a no win-win situation I think. Anyway - feeling good about tonight’s game.

The w@nkr was a hot head and lost his temper; I doubt he left home with the plan to kill anyone that day.

posted by MST (Moderator) - Tuesday 16th December 2025, 2:17 PM Some public servant get a modest increase each year to recognise their improvement. When they get a pay award based on increasing cost, the increasing annual pay award is taken into consideration. if the offered the resident doctors such an award they might accept it.
posted by The Time Is Now - Tuesday 16th December 2025, 3:15 PM Any foreign doctors striking should have their visa revoked immediately and them and their hangers should be removed. They should also restructure all public sector pensions giving their reduced contributions to private companies to invest so the tax payers aren’t burdened in the future. Currently none of the civil service pensions are invested anywhere, the taxpayer is expected to pick up the tab. If one of my family dies because of these strikes then I’ll seek suitable reparations. I’m not thinking financially.

posted by Scott free (Guest) - Tuesday 16th December 2025, 4:36 PM A lot of English doctors go abroad because most vacancies are filled by foreign doctors. At present a resident doctor who has finished has training has only a 50% chance of getting in the NHS. This could be instantly solved by filling all NHS doctor vacancies(apart from certain specialisms) with British doctors. A modest regular guaranteed pay increase combined with getting a job should end the strike.

posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Monday 15th December 2025, 8:56 PM One of our best players is Samuel Chukwueze on loan from AC Milan and we are in danger of losing him if he has a fantastic tournament in the African Nations. Only permanent signings is a guarantee and not loan signings. We should have signed Chukka ahead of Kevin who looks like another dribbler running down cul-de-sacs. I hope i am wrong and i will eat humble pie if Kevin shows something that gets you excited like Chukka does. Maybe i am being a pessimist but what usually happens is, a player lights up a stadium world cup and the big clubs start sniffing and the players head is turned. Also i think AC Milan will most likely go to the highest bidder for Samuel Chukwueze, i would. Sorry to be a pessimist but we should have signed him...
posted by OWEN - Monday 15th December 2025, 9:24 PM Owen, you are so right, and we don't have a snowballs chance in hells of signing Chucky now, unless he has a poor tournament, or gets injured, so we just have to enjoy him while we can, until May. We have seen it all before though, when one of our better leaves us, and then they end up being benched at another club, and Chucky might just realise that, and stay with us.

To be quite honest, although I would like to progress in any trophies, this game is surely not on our list of priorities, and I don't think that we should put out our strongest side, as the match against Forest on Monday is far more important, where we will have to put out our strongest team as important league points are at stake. I definitely wouldn't play Rual, as he is out on his feet, but Tom Cairney will be needed, and Leno, could also do with a break. To be honest, I can't see Newcastle fielding their strongest team either, as they will need Premier League points at the weekend as well.
posted by Alan B (Guest) - Monday 15th December 2025, 8:03 AM There are a high percentage of ordinary teams in the PL this year and if we could improve our passing and move the ball forward more quickly we should be able to beat 50% of these team which would give us enough points to finish in the top half of the table.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 15th December 2025, 8:13 AM Our aim at the start of the season is to get those 40 points, which usually secures us another season, in the top flight, although I think that 38 points this season will be enough, which means another six wins will do the job for us. On our other forum, they are tipping Wolves, Burnley, and West Ham, for the drop, which will exclude us. It will be interesting to have some of our posters views on here, if they think we will be involved in a relegation fight, personally, with everything crossed, I am the opinion, that we will be OK. However, as Danny Murphy pointed out on MOTD, the Khan's must get Marco's contract sorted out ASAP, as that could make all of the difference.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Monday 15th December 2025, 10:37 AM Crazy not fielding our strongest team for a quarter final tie! Surely, a chance to win a trophy is worth more than a slim chance of European place. Let’s be honest - we will not be relegated this season. We haven’t been playing well but we still managed to acquire more than enough points if you average them out by game, to be comfortable mid table. We haven’t to go all out for the trophy and our best team can beat Newcastle.

posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Sunday 14th December 2025, 5:03 PM West Ham are an escaper so we cannot expect them to be relegated. We must keep winning but losing three of our best players to the African championships will not help unless it gives others the opportunity to prove we will not miss them. I am an optimist, but can logically say we will not be relegated.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 14th December 2025, 5:03 PM ESR and Harry Wilson saved the day yesterday! The rest of them were a shambles ! Possibly the worst passing performance for many a year …awful ! Thankfully Burnley are bang average so we got away with it big time ! Couldn’t understand taking any of off the AFCON bound players off when their replacements could have got injured and we’d be even more players light ! Anderson will have to step up big time while Bassey is away …looking forward to seeing Cuenca come in who I think looks promising. Good luck to the lads Wednesday night at Newcastle and should be an interesting team selection ! COYW !!

posted by fact finder (Guest) - Sunday 14th December 2025, 6:08 PM West Ham are not relegation fodder and they can spend big whenever they feel it necessary. When have we ever thrashed them? They have more of an history for winning than we have and we shouldn't underestimate them and Bowen. Chucka is a better prospect and player than our big buy Kevin who we spent a king's ransom on and we could well live to regret not signing him. It is so easy to turn a players mind to signing for a bigger club so don't think it is a given that we have Chucka who will be off to the African Nations. We throw scorn on the Africa games but it is a showcase bigger than ever for African players to show their skills and Chucka looks the type to light up a tournament. I sincerely hope our big money signing Kevin is more than a dribbler who runs into cul-de-sacs because we have too many over the years. They run dribble and no end product but we live in hope with Kevin. Our defensive issues should not be too problematic in the absents of Bassey as some rightly say we have Cuena. We also have Castagne who looks a better left back than we ever thought so lots of options.

West Ham will never in a month of Sundays win 3 games on the trot, and even winning 3 games out of 8, would be quite an achievement for them, however pointless could be right, as we have already lost 4 on the trot this season. However that is very unlikely to happen again. Two of those games were Arsenal 0-1, and Newcastle 1-2, and we were so unlucky, not have got 2 points from those games.

posted by Chief (Guest) - Sunday 14th December 2025, 8:57 AM America by dint of its size and economic clout has a unique role to play in the world. Domestic well being is one thing but international influence, for the good of the world, is a totally different matter. Tunnel vision, isolationism and self interest will come to bite the US in the backside. There’s good and evil in the world and a multitude of levels in between but Trump is choosing to align the US with the evil guys. One suspects because they are big and his vision would appear to be to divide the world up between the big boys, however, China paired with Russia, Iran, North Korea and maybe India plus others could represent quite a formidable foe. The USA is just not that powerful. Stuff the American economy look at the bigger picture, therein lie the dangers. Counting your dollars as the bombs land surely is not a sensible option. All bullies get the inevitable punch on the nose.

You forgot Leno - he’s my unsung hero for the evening and is our man of the match! Wasn’t for him, we’d lost and everything Wilson did would be irrelevant!
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Saturday 13th December 2025, 10:37 PM We were efficient at putting the ball into the net today, which of course the way to win matches. Do not give a toss about Parker, but his team have lost their last 7 matches and most managers lose their job with that sort of record. Parker is a failure as a manager, should try something else, behaps as a baker, butcher or candle maker.
posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 13th December 2025, 11:33 PM You are so right JohnC, Leno is our unsung hero and rightly deserves his accolade of games and attendance for Fulham this season. Leno is awesome! Take note, everyone! Leno punched one out same as the other week which was the right thing to do and all keepers do the same. The difference this week is quality and quality was lacking in a Burnley side that didn't take full advantage of opportunities.

Entertaining first half. Robinson is obviously not match ready.
posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Saturday 13th December 2025, 6:25 PM We need more goals. Our defence look very vulnerable, and as said, Jimenez is not defending from the top. Don’t look match fit. We should be too good for Burnley but we are living dangerously. Fingers crossed, we are better defending in the second half. On the positives - Wilson and Smith rowe are playing really well!!
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Saturday 13th December 2025, 6:35 PM He is probably our best player and will probably come good soon. The surprise to me is Smith-Rowe who with the responsibility he has been given looks like the player he should have been. We just want Kevin to come good and we could have a very good rest of the season.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 14th December 2025, 7:51 AM No surprise to me with Smith Rowe and i think we did a good piece of business in buying him. At no point did i think Josh King should be in before Smith Rowe who has demonstrated that he has an instinct for getting in gaps and areas to score goals, this is a rare talent you don't see every week. We see dribblers every week and we breed an academy for dribblers. I like Josh King a lot and yes he may yet develop further and offer more to Fulham but in the meantime i think he should be the young player to come off the bench for the last ten minutes. Marco Silva will take the credit for Smith Rowe but he did not show much faith in him from the start. We all learn lessons so we can now move on and the most important detail is that we are getting to know what Fulham's best 11 is and i feel Smith Rowe is part of our best 11. 39 Million quid? We got there in the end, nuff said!
posted by OWEN - Sunday 14th December 2025, 12:29 PM King need to learn what is around him and perhaps lob the keeper rather than try to run around him when he gets a chance. His speed and dribbling skills will get into scoring positions he must learn to finish.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 14th December 2025, 5:39 PM

Not too sure about robbo, he looks a touch rusty and a liability. 2-1 up but defending a bit shaky. I don't see the point of Jimenez being out there tonight.

posted by Chief (Guest) - Saturday 13th December 2025, 6:23 PM I keep saying, that big German cannot be anymore of a gamble than Jimenez who delivers a poor ratio of goals for minutes on the pitch. A fir tree conifer would be more of a threat in a still wind sometimes with Jimenez.

posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Friday 12th December 2025, 5:52 PM I have probably mentioned this before, but I had a friend who was on the board at Burnley, so I have seen Fulham play up there at least three times, and in the directors box, and not only have we lost all three, I have never seen us even score a goal. If I had to forecast a result tomorrow, I would say, despite us being the best side, that we will lose 1-0. Hopefully I am going to be wrong, but because of our awful record up there, I can see us failing to score again.
posted by LTS (Guest) - Friday 12th December 2025, 6:09 PM I think the last time we won up there was about 1954 so about time we changed that. However, they’ve lost the last 6 or 7 so Fulhamish will likely prevail. Hope not - COYW!!
