Btw, this will piss you off, Steve ain't sacking anyone. Not remotely pissed off. Nor, as a spoken supporter of NP do I want him sacked. And I know SL can’t afford to buy or sack anyone- though he will if he panics about relegation. But I’ve watched professional footballers for 50 years and know a lot of current and ex players. NP works them hard. He’s in their face continuously and you sign up or ship out. No one’s buying them, so shipping out ain’t an option. There’s an easier life out there- like under Holden, and if they ship 8/9 it could be tantalisingly close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Attacking wise, we are much better now and Semenyo’s goals today were brilliant. We do need defensive reinforcements in this window though. More so than a striker in my view. I know you can say today that ‘this is Fulham etc.’ but over the season now only Peterborough have let in more goals than us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original OTIB Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Main positive today is we have kept going, trying, heads not really dropping too much. Some fine finishes by Fulham, but some awful defending. Vyner really only looks like a midfielder now. Far too weak in defence. Certainly not a right back, found out centrally today. Maybe time to move him on. Don't disike the bloke but has too many poor lapses at crucial times. How we miss a midfielder in Williams. That energy and ability to break up play. Massengo was not good today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Immediate thoughts following a 6-2 defeat. Fulham are the real deal. At times today we were given a footballing lesson. Despite being well beaten (relieved actually they only got six at half time I feared worse) by a very accomplished Fulham team I thought we played with much more energy and creativity than has often been the case this season and scored two superb goals. Despite being outplayed we showed character and self-belief, even when the final outcome was not in any doubt e.g. the entire second half. Thought both of our AS’s did well (Scott and Semenyo) and our fans were again first class. I’m left wondering why Kalas wasn’t given the job of man-marking Mitrovic. Good day for Fulham with Bournemouth and WBA losing. In other news Derby County are off the bottom! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 FT 6-2. Still some enjoyable stuff and rather we try and play football with some pace, rather than hoofing it to slow coach Martin. For me we should have had a 3rd in central midfield in hindsight, and Atkinson instead of Vyner. Who knows if we got the Penalty at 3-2, we could have been level at 3-3, instead 60 seconds later it's 4-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
