and they never ours aside from the opener No, but like I said during game, they were quite happy doing enough and looked like they had plenty left if we had upped our game. but that’s an opinion mate. Maybe they did Maybe they never we don’t know. They are top goalscorers in league with neatly 100 goals and have put four, six and seven goals past numerous sides this season. That don’t strike me as a side who take it easy on opposition or play within themselves. I prefer to think we done a reasonably good number on them restricting them to one goal from open play and one other chance of note. I’m giving Us the credit on this occasion instead of the opposition. Still was not good enough for a draw but that Fulham side have ran through plenty sides this season but today we were competitive and up for it which is what plenty were asking for. |

You don't need to control the games. Sometimes you only need to have one shot on target to win three points.

What about Thomas' chance? More likely to score than not. Or did you mean that? we had two shots on target - the one he fumbled and the snap shot at near post. I can’t see that means we gave them a lot of trouble over 90. plus one keeper held which was a rocket end of first half Guessing they had similar number of chances |

Very unlucky imo. |

One outside of post/side netting first ten mins
I say again aside from their first what did they create in relation to chances. Only other chsnce I recall is shot from distance which Westwood made meal of for corner.
They created as much as us and we were pretty comfortable most the game. They looked dangerous generally on break but aside from that it was an even game

I think Barbet cleared one off the line in the first half when the ball hit the upright and Moses cleared another off the line in the second half.
I tend to agree Fulham never put the gas pedal down after scoring but overall at least the players competed today.

Just watching Warburton's post match interview. Dunne was fit. Dropped him cos Sanderson has been good in training while Dunne was away with Ireland. Ain't being funny, but hasn't he been our best Centre Half all season?

When you see pens like yesterday does it make you actually feel more comfortable with VAR championship next season?
Also I’m guessing ref might have given that as he never gave the one earlier when Wilson dived. Little bit of evening up from him which is wrong

I would call a meeting with all the players and management and find out what the fuck is going on Monday morning no training full analysis on manager and players Tell them it’s not acceptable to carry on like this Strikers need to be put on a medieval rack in front of the team and balls connected to a car battery I would call a meeting with all the players and management and find out what the fuck is going on Monday morning no training full analysis on manager and players Tell them it’s not acceptable to carry on like this Strikers need to be put on a medieval rack in front of the team and balls connected to a car battery New York New York - so good they named it twice |

don't think he should go due to losing to fulham. we put in a good performance imo. if he does go then what? we're not really gunna get anyone else in at this stage. will it be a case of letting eustace take the reigns until the end of the season or going for someone new? That was your idea of a good performance Corbs? And yes, give it to Eustace. Can't do any worse than this prick, can he? |

When you see pens like yesterday does it make you actually feel more comfortable with VAR championship next season? I'd be in favour of it. Gavin Ward was as bad as Stroud yesterday. Not just for the pen but the absurd Eustace red and MW yellow. |

Was it really a good performance yesterday or are we just pleased it wasn’t 6? Ok, never a pen so we MAY have been cheated out of a point but I’ll stick to my feeling that if we’d had a chance to draw or even win then they would have stepped it up. They have no need to take risks with injury(they lie down enough!) they’re up and just need to do enough, to control their game. The match felt a bit surreal to me, and we certainly never looked like beating them. I suppose not shipping 6 is a plus but what an indictment that is of a team who were in touching distance of automatic at one point.

To all those saying it was a good performance, did we ever look like winning the game? Did we even look like scoring in fact?
Absolutely zero cutting edge and quite clearly the wrong tactics against a far superior footballing side than us. But this is the crux of the problem. Warburton doesn't do "tactics" as such. He has 1 style of play, if it works then happy days, if it doesn't it's always someone else's fault in his post match interview. On top of that, he's not even getting the team selections right at the moment, and half that lot out there don't even looked arsed that we've gone from play-off certainties to relegation form overnight.
You can keep making excuses for the Bread Man but I'm done with it. Rangers and Forest fans were right about him.

Few moving goals posts to suit agenda No, just felt weird to me. They didn’t look like they wanted to go all out to bury us and we looked as though we didn’t believe we could win. Did a lot of closing down but we stopped at the spoiling stage, we didn’t really have a go at them. Think you made the point that if we did they’d take us apart on the counter. |

Fulham are a class above us. I thought we gave them a game. Their strength was too much for us. Dunne not playing didn't lose us the game.

We set up in a way that was never going to win the game. Trying to play football against a far better footballing side. I'm not being funny, they had runners with quality causing us problems. We had a number 9 that doesn't move and a young fella who put in a shift but offered little in terms of quality. Never gonna win that game like that. Yet we wanna give the manager some sort of kudos cos it wasn't a cricket score? What we should have done is got in amongst them from the first kick. You could see by the way they whinged and moaned continuously that they are used to having it their own way. Should have roughed them up a bit, not let them play, got the crowd on their side etc. Much like we've done to Chelsea a few times here in the Prem years. Asking too much to expect this manager to have a match plan though, isn't it? He's a one trick pony! |

Went yesterday and found the whole experience very flat for a West London Derby with and all that goes with that.
Crowd was quiet for me.
Good efforts from most players but some didn't seem bothered.
Fulham probably best in division but didn't really look in trouble.
Only time we looked like getting something was the 5-10 mins before they made it 2-0 courtesy of some bloke dressed as a referee.
Think we could of played all night and not scored.
Dykes was Dykes did fuck all.
Warburton out of his depth tactically from the start
Substitutions predictable in time and somewhat strange again.
Overall,lack of application,lack of real passion,lack of ambition lack of belief,lack of leadership on and off the pitch and no plan B
I guess if you are content to just be an average side in a poor division with a manager whilst having done well lacks the credentials to take us further that's fine.
For me yesterday was about the flat feeling I had about the whole atmosphere around the club and support which seemed to accept mediocrity.
I know many will disagree but I didn't see anybody actually breaking their neck to change the game.
Almost like everyone is in a comfort zone and that is fine.
Nearly forgot special mention to George Thomas

Agree nearly all of that. Very flat, no atmosphere, an air of resignation that it might be possible mathematically but we know we’ve blown it.

I never really wanted to go yday as I knew this team weren't up to it . I went as it was time spent with one of my son's and loyalty . It was really flat and the talk was how many we would leak . I really wanted to smash up a Fulham fan they were more concerned with singing the Al fayed song about us than just basking in the their win ... We must never ever make up a song about them they will never be important enough to warrant it
