So what we going for?

A 2-1 defeat my guess, cup upsets only happen against us not for us.

Would like to see Kelman and Bonne up top today

Ineresting to see their lot huddling together with the coaches before the ET turnaround, while our players just fan straight back onto the pitch as if Warburton and his merry men have nothing worth saying. (It's the sort of thing I'd be taking note of if I were his employer, but maybe that's just me.)


Presumably that's Hoos fault somehow?

Heartbreaking. He probably doesn’t make those subs without a game on Tuesday but we were done as soon as Chair and Caroll went off.

However you need leaders to get you through to 1-0 at HT and give you a chance at least.

2 good goals Brian.
We just dropped off the pace midway through that extra 15, obviously tired and had just about run our race, you could see Fulham getting a grip gradually.
Still think it was a good performance and ultimately beaten by the extra quality of an EPL team.
I'll leave the hysterics of post match analysis to others.
👍


Good analysis. We also seemed to stop the forward press - not sure if that was tiredness or a tactical decision.

Ya, I agree. Not a bad performance at all up to the finishing. We took off our better players and suffered as a result. Fulham's subs making a difference for them.


Which leads us straight back to the manager + his coaches, I'd have thought.

Left Willock and Albert on the bench. Should have both come on if hewanted to win this.

Yep. His subs were as lamentable as ever - basically giving them the game. If you take BOS off, then at least put on one of them.

It is bleak, but for most of this performance we looked pretty good. I was quite enjoying it even. If we could just score some bloody goals we'd be fine.

Don’t think we’ve created a chance since carrol and chair went off.

Fair point. I don't think people will be hysterical after a decent performance like this.
We should be asking for sitters missed by Bonne and Dykes to be debated though. They were dreadful at any level of football.
Lots of plusses but a huge worry that Kane and Nicole are two piss poor full backs!! Reinforcement s needed!!

Strange decision that as Häm offers very little going forward.

Probably right.
Grasping at straws.
If Austin has signed - will he be on the bench on Tuesday and come on for 20 mins or so if fit enough?

Really could not give one about losing this game. Really is a nothing game apart from perhaps a lucky win may have boosted moral
Parker played it well played the reserves in the hope they knick it, when they never he sent on the subs that he knew would change the game
The worry is.... fatigue and what it will do on Tuesday
Another defeat and what that will do..... and worse of all another game where we have not looked liked scoring with the chuckle brothers up top

I'd agree with that. Over the 90 we looked good pressed well, lots of talking going on and good chances. We just look lacking in confidence/quality in the box. Defensively we did OK. Thing the removal of Carrol and Chair at the same time just meant we let go of possession too much. Fulham though just has so much quality on the bench that when they brought on 2 or 3 players the pace and guile was just a bit too much.

Gutted we didnt take our chances, but cant really complain about the overall performance given the very obvious step up in class that Fulham had on us. We competed, had chances and allowed some of the younger players to get some minutes against a very good Fulham side.

Now just hope that the players recover in time for Luton. If we play with the same level of intensity and focus as we did for the 90 minutes we should be OK. Just not sure that we can buy a goal at the moment.

I like Bettache too. He's obviously young but think he will be a very good player.

With an attitude like that, it's fans like you who are part of the problem when it comes to the F A Cup and, indeed, the whole professionalism of the club, in my opinion. (I presume you weren't at Wembley in 1982, if you were even born.)
