Then I'll praise whoever made up for his poor performance and cross my fingers for Reid to recover.

Maybe this will spark us into life. Come on Fulham..
Fan bloody tastic
Failed to pick up the runner into the box. Not the first time we have failed to do this.
This is really getting frustrating!!
Nearly 70% possession and trailing early yet AGAIN at HOME!!!
When will this club start games better prepared?

Not heard Onomah mentioned by Jim - anybody watching and can tell us how he's playing?

Do you need to ask
Onomah has been ok, but not overly involved. A few good defensive actions, mostly safe passing. But the whole team is a little off the pace. Cavaliero has tried to make things happen, but not successfully.

Maybe not everyone has already written Onomah off for all eternity based on a handful of appearances, and therefore wants to know how he is actually playing?
For me Onomah offers nothing.
Massive 2nd half needed
The whole ream is off kilter. Thru balls aren't weighted properly, Crosses are too hard. First touches are poor. That and the ref is inconsistent.
All this means the second half will be great! COYW
Don't often say this but the ref has been absolute poo!
If Kamara has 45 minutes in him, play him in second.

Yes, Jim! Let's get positive!
Has the Knockaert thread been bumped yet? What is going on with this guy?? He has so much quality but we're not seeing it.

If he hasn't got 45 mins in him why is he on the bench? I'd bring him on for Onomah and I'd like to see Kebano on for Knockaert who is lacking confidence.
We need to up the tempo. AK has to come on for Onomah who just doesn´t offer any threat or control in MF.
Onomah needs to come off. The midfield is being overrun and he is not the one to add the missing aggression. To

2 chances knocks has fluffed
This is more like it
Plenty of time to win this game, the first 90 minutes are the most important.

I hope so. Seems we've seen this movie before. Four in a row nice, but now the schedule gets a lot tougher regards opponent quality. Need 3 points at home today. Fingers crossed.
COYW!
This was always going to be a test today, but failure to win at home (if we don't) shows that we are not really automatic promotion contenders.
Right, AK on for Onomah & Kebano for Knockaert.
AK time
Top two aspirations slip sliding away. So pissed off
Knockaert's lost his head. time for a change.
Lucky not to get a red. Get him off please.
2-0
Night night nurse!
Can we swap managers please?
Good thing I am heavily medicated... :023:
Game over
2 nil
Blah
No points from next 3 games either
Knockaert ball watching & such poor marking.
Today has been a massive cock up from start to finish. Can't string a pass together, balls knocked too long, too many places having an "off" day
Top 6 at best. Not looking forward to the visit to Brentford.
We are going to need some good business in the January window.....

3rd in the table & you want to change manager & after 4 wins on the trot. Do me a favour.
Prediction for Scotty's post match comments. "We were the better side with most of the possession. We just need to be more clinical."
Preston lost 4 in a row including today.
Good old Fulham to end their losing run.
Parker's tactics are incredibly ineffective when we're behind.

The expectation is promotion. Do you honestly see this squad doing that?
If I didn't watch the game I would have thought we were absolutely awful today from the comments on here... We have been pretty decent second half, certainly better than Bristol.
Changing manager, needing good business in January... nice overreactions as per usual. Disappointing game, especially first half but it happens.

Do you watch the game, or just the result? It is theoretically possible for a team to play better than their opponents and still being behind.

Must say I dont share your optimism, but that's the beauty of a forum. We've got one back, let's see what we can do. This could potentially be repeated in the playoffs.
Now here comes the foot dragging.

I'm watching the game. Possession doesnt make you the better team. They had the better chances in the first half, went 1-0 up and played on the counter. Theyve gone 2 up and will probably hold on for the points.
Pity the subs came so late. I was asking for these at half-time!
Robbed
Oh some fight in them
Has to be the worst ref decision in history. Something has to be done with this ref. All game he has been played by Bristol City.
Why are referees so protected. If I were this bad at my job I would be fired.
Dishing out yellow cards to save himself from the truth that he's bad at his job. Lost control of the game.
We woz robbed! But WHY no subs till 70 mins?
I am so bitterly pissed off by the Ref & the BC cynical tactics. Both a total disgrace to the honest game.

I agree about the manager - it was over-reaction - and a little tongue in cheek. But we will need new personnel in January if we are hoping to build a squad that could survive in the Premier League. We have won four in a row, but only one was a comfortable win. Have we beaten any of the top six yet? Hopefully Hector can give our defence some mobility and better command against crosses. I fully expect us to be in a play-off place but not automatic promotion without reinforcements.
Why wasn't VAR used on the penalty shout?

I didn't use our superior possession as an argument. You used them being 2-0 up as the (only) argument of them being better than us second half. Still think we were better than Bristol second half, even without the frantic last 15 minutes where we were certainly superior. It has nothing to do with us having possession, and everything to do with us using the possession to put them under pressure and creating chances. Kind of the opposite to how we used our possession in the first half.

I get your point, and I dont think we played particularly poorly, especially in that second half, but you must remember that home teams and away teams set up differently. Bristol City didn't come to dominate us, and in a way played the perfect away performance until we scored. Just think if the teams were reversed, would you be saying that they deserved to win?
The problem is that though Bristol City were good, teams should need to do more to win on our patch. We're making it too easy for teams to walk away with the points. I keep hearing how we were the better team. I heard it against Forest, Wednesday, Charlton, WBA...its a game where the score is the only thing that matters, hence why I was happy with Swansea away. We cant keep being the better team and losing. This is my position.
Fair enough. And my point was simply that I thought we were the better team second half. Never said we deserved to win. Can't play such a lackluster first 45 minutes and expect something from the game. Should still have gotten a point if not for the ref though (if it was a penalty, haven't seen replays).
Well that we can both agree on. I cant wait for Reid to get back, think he's a big miss.
