5 game season

Tue Apr 10, 2018 8:50 pm

5 game season now win all 5 we are up! Why can’t we? Two tough games and didn’t deserve to lose tonight.

Fulham luck will run out

Fulham haven’t lost since December 14th

The only chance they drop points now is Millwall imo

Our issue is not them it’s our own team

You cannot play 2 holding midfielders and a midfields who isn’t one and expect to win games we have no one in the centre of the park to put their foot on the ball dictate play or creat anything can’t rely on the wingers constantly who have also gone off the boil due to lack of being fed decent balls

Why can't we?

Because as soon as it gotten tough Hoilett has gone missing. Gunnarson runs around flailing his arms to show how much of a Viking he is, whilst adding nothing. We're setting up to man mark teams instead of going at them, negating any quality we have because they're all asked to do jobs. We are giving no service to our striker(s). Making obvious substitutions too late.

I hate to be negative, but that's why we can't.

We're bloody hard to score against. Even now. In the last 3. One off his shin fluked in to the bottom corner through the puddles and 2 worldies!

Just need a bit of luck for us now! They've used all of theirs!

We were unlucky tonight but did very little ourselves bar set pieces

Totally agree we have deserted what we do best last 3 games and that is down to the manager whatever anyone else says on here

Match our start to the season and we are up.

Brentford isn't going to be easy for them. Also Brum and Sunderland still fighting for their lives! Give them more of a game than the mid table teams they've been playing lately.

Fulham reverse fixtures lost to Sunderland and Brentford. Only beat Brum and Millwall 1-0. Still hope! Pressure is on them now.

We've been saying that last few weeks, and they now only have 4 games left. I think we are going to need to win every game now

Ok thanks Fulham reserves mean about as much as one number on the lottery fact isn’t oriiginal post is spot on anyone watching us last few games can see you cannot play 2 holding midfielders and one midfielder who actually isn’t a midfielder

Reverse fixture. Not reserves.

I.e. in the other game. If they can lose to a team (or two) once in a season. They certainly can again!

Keep the faith.

Yeah it is but we've done it before this season.

We need a reshuffle for Saturday and wouldn't surprise me to see Leeds beat Villa Friday and Brentford to do well at Fulham. All we need to do is win 5 times

On the plus side we are mathematically in the play offs!

I’m guessing the non midfielder you are referring to is Patterson? Well he has contributed 9 of our goals and is our current top scorer so where would we be without him in midfield?? The problem lies firmly with Gunnarsson as he has upset the balance of the team, we have not won since he’s been back. All I can say is we need Ralls back ASAP and then the balance will be right.

Playoffs for certain, then Millwall will do us.

Even Grealish's went in off the post, it was a great strike, but we all know it could have gone anywhere, and Etheridge got a touch on the Wolves goal.

Fine margins, we had one good penalty save against us, one penalty hit the underside of the bar and flew back out, and last night we had one off the post and about five brilliant save from their keeper.

Despite not being at our best we have been incredibly unlucky in the last two games !!!

And Millwall are much better when they are at home, and are also a much better team than when Fulham played them, the form team of the league.

they may not even make the playoffs yet, if they do hopefully its because they beat Fulham which will help us. :occasion5:
