Craven Cottage
COYW
This worked the last few... "Early & often!!" COYW 049:gif
A stressing game.
Let's go for it.
Big game tonight, to be one point of the top 4 would be massive. 90 minutes of stress await!
Everything seems to be going down the left side. Not sure Tete or Bobby has even seen the ball.
Urgh Craig Dawson again
Reed is down
weird injury
Back on the pitch hopefully nothing
BBC says Wolves have had 75% possession in first 10 minutes.
Robinson is going to have his work cut out
Jesus Christ could we string two passes together??? Diop having a good start though
Too many stray passes.

When I look it up I see Fulham 38% Wolves 62% so yeah :016:
bad tackle...
Well, that is that. Two game ban for him.
Well that was a yellow waiting to happen.

sorry, that was flat out stupid

Who made the tackle? I'm at work.
on 20 minutes neither side has had a shot.
What happens if he gets a second yellow? Three game ban? For what would normally be a one game?
Wolves are feeling too comfortable with the ball to my liking.
For a big guy Vinicius does get pushed off the ball easily
What's up with Mitro? Any news on his injury?
Reed needs to go off, he's obviously injured and they are killing us in CM
Our midfield has been so poor tonight.
way too easy
So soft, we have looked useless
Um not really turned up have we.
Ps this has Palhina red card written all over it
We are way off the pace

Far too easily.
Frankly they have been the better team by a mile
Toul my mates this morning. We will lose this game tonight. Sometimes you just know
Damn
Reed & Joao on a stroll
A bad first 25 minutes for us so far.

I agree and I think that's because they are winning the midfield comfortably.
Aren't this lot our Bogey Team?
Not looking too good tonight. I wonder who can come on and fix it.
We look terrible
It's too early to use the 'ish word.
Harrison Reed having a shocker. No positional play at all. Midfield looks at sixes and sevens
Take Reed off, put Lukic on. I'd even be tempted to do Solomon for BDR
Lemina is running the midfield.
We have been absolutely awful
So far I would bring on Solomon for BDR around 65mins.
Not been watching Reed. Will start.. if playing poorly then perhaps Cairney would be a good approach.
Lemina looks absolutely top class
Is this worse than the first 30 minutes against BHA?
Even when Vini gets the ball he doesn't seem to be able to keep it for long :016:
Everything is slow and predictable
Reed has to go off.
I was moaning about this against Brighton. He's always out of position. Why does he constantly go to play RW leaving a chasm behind him.
We should have signed Lemina

Not really, he's out injured!
Robinson having another bad game
He was partly at fault for the goal
He gives the ball away far too much
30 mins
Post update
Fulham 0-1 Wolves
Fulham are struggling to get Carlos Vinícius involved as much as they'd like as he's had the fewest touches of any Fulham player so far.
Our midfield have to get a grip, we are second best, we have no playmaker.
It is all a bit slow isn't it.
as we know from the last game it only takes a moment to score a goal. but wolves look as if they are going to have more of those moments than us atm
We just are not stringing the passes forward to get the ball in to their final third. We look out of sorts.
Good attempt from Vini.
a couple of decent attacks just now so all is not lost
Fulham have lost 20 of their last 21 Premier League games at Craven Cottage when conceding first before today, with the other a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in October this season.

Just what I wanted to hear.
Please get Reed off
sorry
Ream is the only bright spot in this weird first half.
When we're not playing well we tend to default to the aimless crossing into the box for Mitro. Thats what we're doing and he's not playing. We need to sort the midfield and get some pace on
We're not scoring tonight.
There that will change it...Coyw

Personally I think Diop has been miles better than Ream
The Football gods are paying us back for the Brighton game and recent "rub of the greens" we have been having.

The goal we conceded was on Ream? I wasn't sure who was at fault there.
Otherwise I don't really see where Diop has outplayed Ream.
We are getting out muscled and out run
Sorry but Vini has to be stronger he really does.
What was Vini doing there in the box?!?

Don't see how either one has been miles better than the other at this stage?
close
We need substitutes at half time IMO. We play way too slow and predictable. I hope MS doesn't wait again with his subs.
I don't mind seeing Solomon and even Lukic at half time.
HT.
Reed has to come off. Never in position. Midfield getting destroyed.
Personally I'd take both wingers off. Put Solomon and either James or Wilson on. The team needs a different dynamic than aimless crosses into the box.
Wolves have been miles better than us
Didn't Ream make the bad pass that gave possession to Wolves in the sequence where Joao got his yellow???
Poor first half. Seems like we're half asleep or something.
Vinicius needs to hold the ball up better.. not seeing much from him
This Wolves side look very good but we're making it easy for them. Willian unusually quiet, Vinicius failing to keep hold of the ball and Robinson and Tete have been pushed back so not getting forward. Solomon needs to come on at half time, be it for Reid or Willian.
Whatever they had to get them into 6th place seems to have gone, it's not working for Willian, maybe get Solomon on early. Not sure that Oliver needed to book Palhinha.
Apart from the last 3-4 minutes, we were very slow in the build up of our attack. Palhinha, as always, loses a bit of aggression when on a yellow and Reed has looked a bit off today, perhaps due to that knock he took at the start. If we start playing like we can we can still win this.

They're only aimless because there is no one to aim at. Vinicius makes no moves in the box and is being outmuscled. He is good with his head but rarely in the right position.
Strange thing this morning where I live,there a chap standing outside WHS smoking a ***,It must be 2 years since I've seen him,thought he'd left town.
Guess what he supports Wolves,I got a feeling in my gut then,that this could be a bad night.
When is Mitro back? We really need him, don't we

Think Joao and Harrison were as they seemed to be markings each other in the middle and nowhere near the Wolves midfield
If Lukic isn't on for Reed at HT I'm gonna be furious

No change there, what do you expect? Outplayed and outclassed not sure how they are near the bottom of the table, they are playing like a top 6 side, we are not!
The booking was nonsense, another example of rubbish refereeing the premier offers these days. Cant remember such poor referee decisions in this division.

Due to my statement above.😁
Let's hope we don't have to wait until the 87th minute until Marco does something about this.
We really miss Mitro, Vinicius has been totally outmuscled, time to move Bobby Reid up front and bring on Solomon, try to outpace em
Omg he's actually done it

reed off
Lukic is in as well.
Ok so Solomon on.
And Reid...
Come on Manor, come on Sasa!
Looks like Mario reads your posts!
Good changes
Good subs

And Marco! But seriously, good to see him making early changes.
Wolves just look more up for it. Their press has been impressive

It certainly has and we don't seem to know how to beat it.
He literally ran into his arm...
was that a sniper?
Glad their goalie isn't a boxer!
Shouldn't have given them the ball back after Sa put it out
Wolves are cheats
That Cunha lad is a proper cheat.
Embarrasing stuff from Wolves in the second half...
Wolves' game plan has certainly changed to wasting time.
That's ridiculous from Wolves, wasted like 6 minutes
Just time wasting. Not sure why the game has even stopped? No foul committed. They should be being treated off the field.
This is just rubbish time wasting to break up play. Pathetic.
This is why the added time in the World Cup was the right way to do it
Totally pathetic, this.
They're not going to let us play now
Ref should be adding at least 10 extra minutes to this game.
Wasted ten minutes now.
How do wolves get the ball there????
disgusting cheating. For every minute wasted, the ref should now start adding 2. There has to be some sort of punishment for this crap.
Andreas has given the ball away too often tonight. He was poor against Brighton and has been again this evening.
I dont wanna hear anything about time wastin we do it ourselves all the time
OMG!
Yoink!
He's a magician.
He has to start every game
We certainly needed that goal
AGAIN!!!
now that is a goal!!
Solomon again. Hes amazing
:yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:
Amazing!
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Guys a legend, how is he not starting!
M A N O R!!!!!
:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:
:plus one: :plus one: :plus one:
Yeeeeeees
What a cracker !!!!
I HAVE LOST WORDS !!!!!!
He's a star.
That boy again
YES SOLOMAN!!!! This is why he has to start. What a goal!
Chelscum brought worng guy lol
What a goal from Solomon! Important contributions from Lukic and Robinson before the goal too, but what Solomon did is just pure class!
But we are still defending. Why are we still on the back foot?
Let's score again and put this to bed.
Plenty of time is left. We can win this match.
Their press has us flummoxed
I wonder who is faster - Robinson or Traore?
Quote from: FulhamKC on February 24, 2023, 09:31:29 PM

Traore. The only player faster is Dan James...
What a ridiculous yellow card. Totally unnecessary challenge.
Someone is gonna sent off in this
Lemina has been brilliant
Pereira has been really ineffective again. That yellow is probably a sign to take him off
Good I hate this wolves side. Boa looking like he is going to deck Traore
Quote from: Twig on February 24, 2023, 09:32:28 PM
What a ridiculous yellow card. Totally unnecessary challenge.
But he is going to get the winner now
I hope we make a decent offer for Solomon in Summer
Penaltyy
Is this the ref having a shocker or is it me?
VAR ??????

He is having a diabolical performance.
Andrea's got booked then an identical foul by their man gets nothing
Everyone else think somehow it's going like 5 minutes of added time?
There are 9 Portuguese speaking players on the pitch plus Marco and Boa
James for William please
Lukic looking tidy
Wilson needs to show he is Prem quality.
Wilian had an absolute shocker today
Quote from: SouthernWhite on February 24, 2023, 09:43:48 PM
Wilian had an absolute shocker today
Yeah, unfortunately his worst.
Wilson? Hmmmmm
My goodness Diego Costa now. There will be a fist fight before the final whistle I reckon.
Wearing white...
Does Vini ever win a challenge?
ONLY 8???
Their strip colour reminds me of Poundland...
so close
Great header from Vinicius
Quote from: St Eve on February 24, 2023, 09:55:08 PM
Great header from Vinicius
He looks most likely to get a goal that way.
Get fit soon Mitro
Zero plan
We don't look the same without Mitro do we? I'm excited to see a fit Mitro playing with Solomon.
Terrible performance
You can't build a whole system around 1 player.

True but what else has he contributed? He waits for the ball instead of seeking it.
Silva is right Manor is not fully fit yet for 90 minutes.

Absolutely nothing, he was poor overall I agree.
I'll take the point
Point is okay all things considered. Need to improve though.
should've got nothing.
Point is fine given how poor we were first half, could have even knocked it but hey a draw seems fair
I'm so unhappy about that performance.
Very disappointing
That's 2 games in a row where we have played absolutely terrible and Solomon has bailed us out.
We need to be better... and Solomon has to start
Overall Wolves deserved the point. They bossed the first half and pressed like tigers. We came into it as they tired and deserved our goal. We miss Mitro more than I thought we would. Not just for his goals but because of his hold up ability and the way he puts the opponents on the back foot.
