Sky Bet Championship at Deepdale, Preston
Going to be an interesting match with this line up. Hope Scotty got it right.
GJ late on parade again.
Very concerned ----- really need a win tonight...... just wish we had 5k travelling support (although the boys going won't let us down)
Type of game we really need to win.
In his press conference SP said he went to see the ref who admitted he got the pen shout wrong. No consolation now.
Worried with our weak midfield; come on Fulham :clap_hands: 049:gif
Think this could be a defining moment for Parker. Picking Onomah again is baffling and I think could possibly bite him hard. I hope I'm wrong and Onomah and Parker prove me wrong tonight.

When will he admit the failure of it...?

To be fair looking at the bench he didn't have much choice
Do think Christie and AK are connecting well and providing opportunity for Mitro.
Has Onomah even seen the ball yet?
Christie needs to be careful there and not give away more free kicks in good postitioning. That is where Preston have scored the most from.

Have Cav, Knockers & Johansen seen it yet.
what a piss poor goall
Set peices. Does us in every time.
Paint me surprised.
Shocking goal from a shocking mistake to give the corner away.
Does Cav know we are playing in red?
Bloody giving the ball away and not defending corners. Writing on the wall when the sky commentators said Preston not scored in seven hours.....
Get Onomah off, put Christie in his spot and get Joe back in at LB :031:
sad but not unexpected.......still think we can get a point from this though.
Maguire had his back to goal & was given space & time to turn & fire it in.
what a great first half
Cant moan at the red
poo no luck Odoi mistake costs us dear
idiot
Red card well out of order Their fans got him sent off. Poor ref yet again. Yellow yes but not a red.
Bryan off and chance to take Onomah off but apparently cav
Take Cav off for Bryan
I'm saying Cav as he can't pass tonight, but yes Onomah would be better going off
I was just giving Dennis praise the other day and he goes and does this?! WTF?!?
After seeing replays it looks like an extremely harsh red card to me.
wonder what the gameplan is now then, Cav a clear counter attacking threat. Guessing Parker trusts both AK's to cause more trouble
I have always hated red cards. Just ruin the competitiveness of a game, particularly if it's early on. We would have probably lost anyway but I am not wasting my evening on this nonsense now.
Just pathetic!! Leak an early goal YET AGAIN!
Now go down a man on a really STUPID play!!
This team really in state of flux. Frustrating. Will be lucky to get a point out of this mess. Start of game looked like FFC by far the better team. All just falls apart. Disappointing.

It looks very harsh in slow motion, though in real time I guess I can see why they've been deceived. The player telling the ref he's used his elbow should be banned for cheating, however.
wow, that's another red!
That should have been red for Pearson double standards ref again
If that had been a bristol player doing that to us in last weeks game, ref wouldnt have even given a free kick thet alone a red, it was clumsy not malicious at all. Ffs cant catch a break at all can we?
How was that not a Red???
The ref was literally right on top of that as well
Replays & comments say it was Odoi´s shoulder that made contact. The Preston defender is a cheat & the ref fell for it.

these days though if the elbow is not lashed to the chest you are asking for trouble. Thoughts on the beeb differ as to defo red or dark arts at play. So for the next game we might still be short of midfielders and now another rejig of the back four for the festivities. Luckily Cav and Knock should be fit and ready as they had barely exerted themselves by the time we went down to ten. I fancy both would be on the bench at some of the Clubs around us in the table.
Its was late and if a Preston player had done to one of our players we would be saying it was red, Denis was stupid
How is pearson not off with a sliding tackle studs up into the knee, talk about double standards

Well it certainly seems like it.
That is a disgraceful decision. Absolutely bloody disgraceful.
Odoi's is a red for me, but Pearson's is a def red
They should be down to 9
Justice !,,
yay!!!
Karma!!! 10 v 10
Even up now...
Pearson will get sent off at some point as well
Well, before this Preston red, I was gonna say that the 2nd half would be a really tough watch. Now, at least FFC has chance to see a result. Fingers crossed. COYW
Did our brown envelope get there late?
Have to say that if that call had been against us I would have been ticked. The non call at the end of Bristol was more egregious.
Preston should be down to 9. Pearson´s tackle was the worst of the lot. Could have smashed Onomah´s leg into pieces.

Don't worry the ref will apologize tomorrow.

Damn right Grandad, how can that not be red? Two footed, studs up, and taking a player out, red any day of the week
This team continues to frustrate and disappoint. I'm starting to wonder if we will even have chance at top 6 for a playoff chance. Seems to have good team, good players, but appears to be dramatically under performing and under achieving. Continuously waiting for FFC to wake the blank up!
We must target Pearson. One more foul & he will be off.
Still think we can get a point at least. For once, Christie is putting some half decent crosses in. Come on Mitro, do your thing.

Odoi went for a ball he was never going to win, 75 yards from our goal and jumped in with his arm raised and made contact with the players head
He should be sent off for being stupid let alone anything else
Is Odoi out for3 games. GJ said he will miss the next game. I thought it was 3 games for violent conduct.
Come on lads! Mitro and Kamara get one each and win 2-1 please 049:gif

I'm thinking same. One point would be welcome all things considered. Sure was hoping for a road win though.

AMEN!!
Mitro would've been penalised for that.
Lol Mawson really is rubbish.
I'm sorry but Parker has to go. These tactics do not work
Bloody hell
Mawson has been so poor tonight.
Mawson clearly fouled on the back post. Another poor decision.
Ffs only fulham would let in 2 against a team who hadnt scored in the last 4 games, and a striker who hadnt scored in 40 games!
UnBlankingBelievable!!! Top six may be pipe dream at this point.

Not for me, just a weakling. Got bullied moments earlier to let Nugent clean through which thankfully he missed. We do not learn.
After fouling Mawson Nugent won the ball in the air with the assistance of his arm.
I do hate David Unsworth sure he hates Fulham, not a foul by Nugent he pushed him 2 feet
What is really problematic is that Preston aren't doing anything special at all. Bang average at best and we're not even close to them.
the tactics are what they are for the circumstances, squad depth/injuries/opposition perhaps, but do people really think most of our team would walk into any of our rivals starting eleven.
Throw everything at em now then
How do Preston have such a good home record?
Predicted no points from these 4 games .We are weak and feeble .
Going nowhere this season.
Football is turgid slow boring predictable and lacks any passion
that these other teams have.
The one player that has stood out for us is AK 47
Hope kebano has a impact, he deserves some game time!
Wouldn't mind seeing Onomah snap Pearson as revenge.
Have we had a shot on target or not
At least Millwall are helping us. 2-0 up now.

Agreed. FFC yet again failing to play to their potential. Frustrating.
Think Bristol City are paying the price for their hard press on Saturday.
How many more times can Knockaert over hit a cross before he decides to stop trying
Leeds 1 up thanks to an OG. Scratch top 2.

the beeb described an attempt from AK as only just going out for a goal kick which must have been horrendous. at least he is having a go I suppose.

Thru 71', no shots on goal, 55% possession
Johansen unlucky there that was a great hit
Steph hit the bar. No luck.
Nothing going in our favour again
No, that should have been another red. Out of control.
Come on let's get another shot on target
Yay come on Fulham 10 mins of mayhem please
What was that...?
Come on! Kebano currently our best winger.
Kebano pushing for a starting spot if he keeps this up!

Should've started tonight..
our subs just watching and not even bothering to warm up :D
Ream MOTM for me. Rodak second. Probably Kebano, Mitro and AK next.
Knockaert zero end product and should lose his place to Kebano. Onomah completely ineffective and shouldn't play next week.
Mawson continues to look the weak link in defence and Hector couldn't come quick enough.
SWEET, stream craps out like the team wearing red...
Ultimately quality of final ball has been so poor today and all season. Knockaert, Cav, Kebano just then..
Onomah one of our better players tonight, and that says it all. This team has direction, unfortunately after months of going sideways the only way we're going now is backwards. Scott Parker, no thank you. Let's gamble.
With our dreadful injury list we did our best. Should really have got a point. We are still hanging onto 3rd spot.
For the love of Pete... END THIS OH-NOMEH GARBAGE NOW!!!
Even we hadn't have had Mitro the last two years we'd be looking at relegation in League 1 at the moment.
Ream played well today, as did StefJo. The rest, not so much.

Especially without Cairney, Arter, Reid & Reed who else is there.
Mitrovic wasn't any better than Onomah for the first 80 minutes. Ok you can now rant on me

It's always a bit sad when people have already decided what they think of a players performance before the game's even started.
I think Kamara needs to go back to being a super sub. He doesn't bring all that much to the full 90. He's good when you get him the ball on the run. His passing is only fair and I have no clue where he disappears to for minutes at a time. With him and Onomah on the pitch we are carrying two passengers much of the time.
Give Neeskins a shot the first eleven and maybe de la Torre.

That's my thinking too. Totally agree with you.
Also, need a proper CB to play alongside Ream and quick.

Did ok against QPR scoring twice as was decent when he started v Derby. The two starts since then have been she. The whole team have been poor. For me Cav should be rested he is paying poorly but overall we should rotate AK, Knockers and Cav

In my opinion he was better than several other Fulham players, and frankly it surprises me that Onomah is the one still being blamed by several people today. Or, of course I'm not surprised.
Telling phrase from the sky team - "passive defending"!
