But what I can't handle is getting stuffed by an average Hull City side 6-0, completely embarrassing!
Not saying that we were/are much better than them, but 6-0 is a disgrace, and not just a bad day at the office.
People who are saying it proves that you can't rotate our squad, are talking absolute rubbish. I'd rather Rene' have thrown out our under 21's today and lost 4-0, whilst us fans got to watch a bit more grit and determination.
Yes, this proves that some of our players are not up to the fight, and I now fully believe that the Ruiz's and Duff's of Fulham have played their last ever game in a Fulham shirt, but at what expense?
My first question has to be, what the hell was Rene' thinking today? Even us fans could see from that line up that a potential spanking was on the cards, so why take the risk in such an important game?
My biggest fear is that he may be a good coach at the top level, but today has convinced me that he has no experience of managing a team in our position. They were typical tinkers that you'd get away with at United, but not at Fulham who sit in the bottom 3.
I will hold judgement for now, but Rene' got that completely wrong today, no one else. I'm still convinced that he's just a flash in the pan, part of the old new manager syndrome, and things from now will start to take a serious dip. If he can manage to pick his the team up after that embarrassing defeat then fair enough, but I think it's damaged limitations going into both West Ham and Sunderland.
Oh well, not only did we get spanked 6-0, we handed Hull their first win in 5, Huddleston a goal plus a haircut in 56, and we've all get to go out the house again feeling like a complete laughing stock.
If I was allowed to swear, I'd be saying Go away Fulham in a much more aggressive gesture.
Have Rene as coach and Curbishley as manager, perhaps.

I'd rather have Pulis in charge than Curbishley. At least Pulis can take his team to Man City and come away with a respectable 1-0 loss.

Seeing as Pulis has only recently taken charge at Palace, there's zero chance that this will happen this season. What is your point?

My point being, that I'd rather Pulis in change of Fulham than Curbisley. I don't want Curbishley anywhere near that first team.

Agreed, seems the negative-master has shown his hand at last, he does not like Rene, and that would explain the majority of his posts since the managerial change, which, just by chance, is about the time he started posting.
Victor, do you speak Dutch by any chance, have a brother who follows you from job to job, and recently left employment in West London?

You're possibly right, but I'll think you'll find that most Fulham fan will struggle to hold any sort of judgment after that shambles, even if for 10 words! Like yourself, I know you feel really angry inside about today, but rather than admit it, you've completely come away from the Pulis debate and pulled me about my typing.

Why not? He kept two poor teams up. So long as he doesn't interfere with team selection or tactics (and I hope he didn't do that today) I'm fine having him with the club. Rene was honest enough to admit he lacks experience and could do with all the help he gets.

Never said I didn't like him, just said I think he and the teams performances are a flash in the pan, new manager syndrome. Today proved, regardless of how many excuses you give, that he didn't have an absolute clue on how to set that team up, and it showed. We got dicked 6-0 by a very average Hull team that today, that not even our under 21's would have lost by. All he could say to that was "Was there something in our tea"? I'm sorry, but that's borderline Jol comments..

I've responded to something you've written; it's not a 'typo' at all. The 'not very grown up' remark is ridiculous.
As for the Pulis debate, what more is there to say? (It actually had nothing directly to do with Pulis.) I know now that your point is that you don't want Curbishley anywhere near the first team. Fair enough. End of debate.
Maybe today was influenced by Curbishley, at best it was a team selected to rest some key people and show him what the back ups look like. He now has a clear idea of the useless Ruiz, how Kaca cannot defend and how Kara and Sidwell can't run midfield.
I have some sympathy for RM, we held out to constant long balls in first half and thot he was probably feeling ok for 2nd half until the wheels fell off.
I hope Curbishley's influence was only that benign or we are in for a long miserable 5 months....

Victor, I think your tea might be slightly off too.. Hull nearly beat Utd 2 days ago. Awful result, but stop being so melodramatic..
Put down the keyboard and take a long walk and have a good nights rest; you'll feel much better in the morning.

You boys make me laugh. We get dicked 6-0 by Hull, then you use the excuse that they nearly beat a very under par United team, who on a whole have been woeful all season, and their results so unpredictable. Forget the Snickers mate, you need to stop knocking off Joan Collins and come back to the real world.
I'm kind of with Victor on this.
I could take a thrashing by one of the big clubs.
I could understand it if we had thrown on half the youth team and got soundly beaten.
I can't understand how we got absolutely smashed by Hull. Hull?? Come on!!
Hopefully just a blip in our recent upturn. The next two matches just got that much more important.

I'm fuming about the result today. However what I don't like is that Victor is so quick to forget that we've been playing well under this new manager and how poor we were before. He's called for his head after one awful performance. This kind of reactionary response pi**es me off frankly.

Meulensteen did say that he would be making full use of the squad over this busier period, so probably not.

Stop overreacting, I've never physically called for his head and you know it. All I've said is that I think the teams performances are a flash in the pan, and subject to new manager syndrome. Hope I'm proved wrong but West Ham and Sunderland will prove that. My dear boy, when you've lived and breathed football as much as I've done over the years, there is no way of making a 6-0 defeat look positive, nor pretty.
I agree with Victor on nearly everything that has been said in this thread.....Something I never thought I would agree to, but he speaks sense.
Darkest day as a Fulham supporter. I really feel as if this was 1 blow too many for our team. We still have city away, If an average Hull side can score 6 just think hat they will do to our defence.

No way anyone should be calling for RM's head at this stage. This has been the first really poor performance under his tenure, and he needs time to sort out the mess from the previous regime.

Don't be pedantic as well as negative, you're making your own arguments look weak by doing so.
As you well know, I wasn't referring to your personal like or dislike of him, but your liking him as our head coach. You comments referring to all being downhill from here provides ample evidence of your dislike for him as head coach, and I reiterate, its pretty convenient you joining the MB just after he takes over the reigns, pity you didn't post for the previous 4 months I guess, then it might have been clearer sooner.
You have nothing good to say about the team, or the players, and don't give me that crap about being a realist, you are nothing of the sort, at best a wind-up merchant at worst you have a delusional hatred of Rene, which you wrap up in clever comments denouncing all others that disagree with you. As I said in a previous thread, I don't hate you, I just hate for what you stand for when you post such comments.

I am stating a personal opinion of you, nothing more or less than others have said of you. How many of those have you made complaints about? Don't use my position on the MB as a weapon because you finally get some grief back that you have handed out.
When our new manager took the reins he said quite clearly that he would prepare the team with the aim of winning each game. Sat in the stands watching the teams line up for the start I couldn't see how we could possibly get anything from the game with the side selected. If it hadn't been for David Stockdale Hull would have had double figures. If Martin Jol had picked a similar team with the same result this message board would have been in meltdown. I only hope that goal difference doesn't feature at the end of the season because we will be sunk.

From my point of view, and from my opinion, you were leaning on me with your power, only slightly, but still leaning, with an advantage. You then went on to call me everything under the Sun, but then followed it up with an 'I don't hate you' comment. Could of fooled me. Still, if I didn't know any better, I believe I'm being geared up for a ban here, not caused by myself, but others those around me.
Parking the issues around the Fulham 'B' team fielded today, what of Hull? A home record of W5, D3 & L2 is decent. The fashion in which they dispatched the inform Liverpool team was an indication of what to expect.

Yes, I know you haven't called for Rene's head; that was the point of my previous post.
From our current standing, however, to fail to sustain (and even build upon) our recent form can surely mean only one outcome: relegation.
Though RM has taken on the role of a manager, as I understand it, the Club have yet to officially appoint him to this post. In this situation, it is a viable option for the Club to bring in someone to assume the requisite managerial duties, while retaining Meulensteen in his coaching capacity.
Knowing that a 'serious dip' is imminent, the sensible course of action, surely, is to 'take another roll of the dice' and bring in a manager. Nothing idiotic about that. Yet, despite not having been convinced by Meulensteen's ability to improve results sufficiently, you steadfastly refuse to support this logical step.
P.S. Using italics is an accepted means of quoting someone within one's own post and the use of bold type is a recognised way of indicating that the word should be read with emphasis. In considering your request, I have decided that I shall continue to employ these features where I think they are appropriate.

Thanks, reading your first quote of; "Yes, I know you haven't called for Rene's head; that was the point of my previous post" was enough, thanks.. I skipped the rest.
That doesn't surprise me; if you didn't know it at the outset, you realise now that the coherence of your argument is, in respect of this point, unravelling.

I'm fuming about the result today. However what I don't like is that Victor is so quick to forget that we've been playing well under this new manager and how poor we were before. He's called for his head after one awful performance. This kind of reactionary response pi**es me off frankly.
Points make prizes, not playing well
Four points from the next two league fixtures will represent a decent and eminently realisable return plus the three from Norwich. That's not relegation form. Maybe we should forget about the Cup - a bridge too far for a team in our straits?
And maybe we should stop attacking each other. It is a very tough day being a Fulham fan and believe me I have seen a lot of bad Fulham days. I had hoped that we could get 8 points out of 12. 2 away draws and 2 home wins. So let's get the 2 home wins, get 9 points out of 12 and forget about today

Spot on.
what is wrong with some of you?
3 points from two games is better than two draws.
a trip to norwich and two days later in hull, the fixture list is a joke... hull? two games at home. we all know we need a couple of additions to the squad, and some of the squad players really didn't hack it today, but rene clearly knows what he is doing and if he offers chances to the also rans and they can't hack it well that is their propblem. two examples. Ruiz. barely broke into a trot and rebne's style demands high tempo across the midfield. and poor old rodders, what a waste of space. if the midfiled is in trouble and being overrun, it is better to come back and help than to remain isolated, in that way we can stop the rot and launch counter attaxks from players running from deep, as it was rodders didn't have a clue.
zverotic, not impressed, kasami, very inexperienced and it showed, sidwell and karagounis without parker look poor (especially sidwell)
But to slag of the manager after so many good performances and clearly turning the team round, you must be crazy. again remeber what it means to play in norwicha nd 48 hours after in hull abnd they stayed at home.... even when we play west ham they have an advantage that they played two in london and now the the third without needing to leave home, quite and advantage.
but we will turn it on against the hammers, unless the ref allows them to maintain their unpleasnat alrdyce bully boy tactics!
Ignoring him doesn't seem to be working.
