There is no excuses this weekend, we need 3 points, or we can really kiss goodbye to our season, and in turn Felix Magath. I know he's not to everyone's taste, but surely a defeat to Reading will signal the end of his reign, and what this Club is trying to achieve. A defeat to Reading will mean it's just 1pt in 18, which on any level isn't good enough.
I really hope it doesn't come to this, I really hope we push on and make a statement against Reading and then Notts Forrest, because in reality, this is what we should be achieving.
I'm not very confident after recent events, but like every other fan, I wait eagerly with baited breath.
Magath won't be going anywhere even if we lose. I think the club will stick by him for another month and then he will be gone if things haven't improved.

I feel it is virtually last chance saloon time for Magath; we did improve in our last game but again FM made awful substitutions with his typical "mad scientist" experiments with debutants at crucial times (as he did to get Fulham relegated).
The Felix Magath Fan Club may finally admit Fulham need a new man at the helm. I'm hopeful for a win but predict..... draw! Playing Fulham, the Man U of the South is Reading's cup final, after all.
I think one heavy defeat in the next two and that's it for him. Even a couple of tight defeats might keep him in place. But anything like the derby game and that's it.

He did not get Fulham relegated there was no way out of that, I am not a member of any FM fan club or indeed in the I want him out club, but I really do hope you are proved wrong.
FM has been a huge disaster ever since he joined, certainly did not help us stay up last season, perhaps dented our chances if anything, the longer he is with us the less chance we have of going back up.... Hard game tomorrow, and I think it will be really hard to win... the season is as good as over in terms of automatic promotion, we may have a late surge, but we could find ourselves leaving far too much to do to even reach the playoffs.
Must win for FM, and Fulham, and I really struggle to see us even getting a point.

I think there was a way out of relegation prior to the debacle at Stoke,
particularly the fantastic support we had there, should have kicked everyone up the rectum.
3 points there and another 2 against Palace
In a club run by right-minded people manager's aren't given "one game to save their job" or "must win" matches. The manager goes when a point of no return is passed - when there are no signs of improvement or the manager appears to have lost the confidence of the dressing room.
It would be naive to only look at the result tomorrow and if we play well again then, for me, the outcome doesn't matter.
Of course, if we look absolutely dire tomorrow and for the next couple of matches after that as well then I expect the Magath out brigade will get their wish, and quite rightly so.
I'm just going for the cider and munchies. If I have enough of the former I won't be too bothered about the result
I hope it's not one of those games where we have 75% of the possession, hit the posts and bar 3/4 times, have 16 corners, 4 saved on the line, 5 fantastic saves by Stuart Taylor and then the Pog sneaks one in the 93 minute.
Although it would be encouraging in many ways.

Magath did contribute to getting us relegated, 3pts lost at Stoke. 2pts lost at home to Hull. 2pts lost at home to Palace. To name just 3 matches under Magath, that's 7pts more than enough to keep us up, there wS plenty of time to save us from the drop, but because he was unsuitable and too incompetent and with any knowledge of English football he failed miserably, there were plenty of games to pick up points losing at Cardiff and Spurs and drawing with Albion that's 8 more Pts dropped, blimey there were enough Pts left to qualify for Europe. If the trend carries on tomorrow then the writing should be on the wall in Capital Letters in inverted comas, underlined twice in flashing coloured lights. Let's look at the facts. Fix Wolfgang Magath was brought in specifically to save Fulham from relegation, at Rene's expense. Magath failed miserably dropping points all over the place whilst making blunder after blunder, whereas there were plenty of Managers that would have saved Fulham, I can think of at least a dozen I know who run a team on a Sunday morning that would have done a better job, nobody can tell me Magath is exempt from any blame.

Oh dear, the extinct one is off again on his anti everything FM, and can't see any progress whatsoever or decent additions to the squad etc, etc. god knows what will happen when we start to rise up the league, will you eat humble pie or go quiet? As for the OP - are we to have this - must win, no more excuses stuff, for
each and every game?

The moral of this story, is that no ones perception of Felix will change, unless he starts to deliver quick, effective results. Lose tomorrow, and I'm certain there will be no way back for the German, especially with the fans, not that he's lost a proposition anyway. Like I said, 3pts is a must tomorrow, no more excuses.

You know a dozen from Sunday morning foot ball that could do a better, why of course you do, and please don't worry nobody can tell you anything, as for me I would rather believe we can do it rather than forever and day saying we can't.

"IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."
Old George got it right again (that's Orwell, not Cohen.)
This will be a good indication of whether the improvements we saw against Cardiff were the start of a trend that shows that at last the team are starting to gel, or whether it was all a flash in the pan and we are in for one long hard slog of a season.
Regardless, don't underestimate the challenge that FM has been handed. We have been through a massive overhaul in a short space of time and it would have been a miracle for any manager to have started getting results from a brand new team so soon in to a new season.
There will be excuses should the worst happen. But despite the huge turnover and work that has had to be done at Fulham. We really should be seeing a better return than 1 point. A huge job that seems to be made more difficult by some of the managers decisions.

He did not get Fulham relegated there was no way out of that, I am not a member of any FM fan club or indeed in the I want him out club, but I really do hope you are proved wrong.
Meulensteen would I believe have steered Fulham to safety in the remaining games, as his last two matches Fulham were playing the best football under him. Magath came in stating catergorically he would keep Fulham up; there was no doubt, no equivocation, he was CERTAIN. Therefore, he is responsible for our relegation and I have not forgotten that fact!
Fulham, now languishing at the foot of the table in the Championship, with 1 draw to their tally. I hope people like you are right about Magath but you cannot fault the majority who see the abject displays and 'bonkers' tactics without cohesion nor direction every week. Perhaps the new (Leeds) forwards will change our form, for that reason I say a
draw today!

Gump?
Having lived in Nottingham for 3 years I feel more qualified than most to say that Notts County are never Nottingham County, always Notts County. In fact County also does the trick. Forest on the other hand does get preceded by either Nottingham or Notts, but more often than not is just good old Forest.
