After yet another match where we should have won- but didn't.
You know what the rhetoric is.
We made plenty of decent chances but couldn't find the final pass into the goal.
ie we had a decent midfield but the chances couldn't be converted.
We made bad defensive decisions that cost us
ie yet again we couldn't defend a corner
Every match the same.
It's getting rather boring (and very frustrating when we take a lead then chuck it away)
A point a game obviously won't even make top 10, and would be flirting with the wrong end of the table.
Last season looking more of an upward blip, back to normal this season

It's getting rather boring reading the same complaints on here about the manager's comments to be honest.
No matter what the result and who your manager is, post match interviews will always involve the same cliches. How have some not worked that out?
Isn't that the definition of insanity - watching 1,000s of identical interviews and still expecting something different next time?
Is it also worth pointing out that we played really well today?
We did play well.
We also let in another goal straight after scoring.
The manager can't take the credit for one and not take the blame for another.

I couldn't care less if we played well if it didn't result in 3 points.

Sorry but what is the point of a forum to discuss Fulham issues if you only care about 2 numbers, 1-1
OK Here's an issue for you.
When come May and we've finished 14th in table,are you still going to say !Yes but we did play well!
It's a losing battle, Statto. It really is.
Getting a bit fed up with the quick reply option not posting anything I write.
It would be nice for the manager to admit and explain why we have not yet achieved the performance levels of last season. Come on, be honest, we all felt that with a new centre forward and decent cover for our midfield we could be top of the table by now.

Of course those two numbers are always of prime importance but there are so many ways and means of getting them correct.
That is the point of all of the discussion.
Some are only here to complain
They only post when we don't win and take a week off when we do!
Won't be long before we go on a 4-5 game winning streak to be free of their negativeness

Well I didn't because I felt our summer transfer window was driven by a desire to break even and was insufficiently ambitious. I agree with Statto that criticisms of our manager's post match comments are tedious.
He pretty much sums up our repeated weaknesses. What more do you expect?
I'll tell you what is tedious.. it's tedious having the same people week in week out moan at people when they point out how poor we've been of late.
From last seasons showing I doubt anyone on here can say they didn't expect us to be higher up the table. It seems a bit strange to be having a go at people because they're expressing their dissapointment with the team's form this season.
I think we're well in our right to be unhappy
As Mae West once said "it's not the man in my life but the life in my man..."
Boy have we lost the plot big time @ the start of this season
Joka, Khan's around in the UK
Ticking crocodile stalking you old chap, need to be "more solid" asap & get those wins chalked on the board!
COYW!
Khans only in England at the moment cause of that Circus the NFL, he just happened to pop into Fulham to show his Boat. 051

You're probably right but the greater crime is just caring about the points.
Imagine a forum where the posts searched out the endeavour, the effort, the skill and tenacity of the team and let go of the occasional errors, bad luck and injustices. Looked forward to the next game. Premier league or Sunday league, it matters not. They are our team and we, their supporters not their critics.

I did not have a go at anyone for expressing disappointment at our performances. I said that criticisms of Slav's post match summaries are becoming tedious. That is different. I'm as frustrated as the next person with our failure to close out and win games.
It was better. Although the margins of improvement are increasingly more subtle and difficult to determine within an atmosphere of changes and injuries the problems are still down to conceding goals when we should be shutting opponents out and scoring a higher goal to attack ratio. Are the present personnel up to it? Some clearly are and some clearly are not, while what remains are some who are improving the qualities SJ requires because they really want to play for this side. It'll click together a little better next game against Forest - perhaps a convincing win even - but I'd still guess that next month, after the break, is when the jigsaw takes much better shape.
As BestOfBrede says, the moaners always shout louder on here and I often wonder if that is why we cannot get a better Craven Cottage atmosphere.

When Jimmy hill was a pundit on ITV in the 1970's I remember him saying that an opponent is at their most dangerous after conceding a goal. So in all that time nothing has changed. I think when that happens with about three minutes on the clock as well it doesn't get any better. That was a fair result yesterday against a vey good side that spent a lot of money in the summer after being in the premiership last year. So boxes have been ticked for me that we are heading in the right direction and come the end of the season we won't be too far away from a play-off spot. There were a lot of pluses in yesterday's game for me.

yes but if slav had any sense he would know by now we cant keep a clean sheet and should think right how do i break this up, lets make a sub get Norwood off and Cisse on, a more defensive player and break up the flow or do I wait for them to equaliser then do it afterwards. You know if it was Jose yesterday at that point he would have made a defensive sub and locked the game down, Slav needs to start learning some game management
It's how we finish the season that will define our season not how we start. We are still bedding in new players and trying to find a way of replacing the best player in the league. We play great football still, just need to adjust a few things to produce better results.
