Sky Bet Championship at Craven Cottage, London
Harry Arter must have naked pictures of Scott. (Stefjo should start this game)
Worried about the midfield being overrun. Guess we'll see.

How can he play the same team? We were lucky to come away from derby with anything!
Well, he believes in players/systems getting better through repetition. We'll see.
Foe me, Arter is way too reckless and Knockers is way too selfish. I'd prefer Kebano and KMac.
GJ late on parade. 3 mins to KO & no commentary.
LOL I had my volume on mute.
Any streams?
What is up with the sound? No crowd noise. Is it being played behind closed doors?
Bright start.
CANNOT understand why Arter gets the go
Better pace so far.
That should have been a 063.gif

No foul even given. What is the ref playing at?
I never like complaining about the ref, but after 15 minutes he's been shite.
Ha, here we go again, FFC woes directly tied to poor officiating.
Is there an echo in here?
Not many goals around tonight.
Team playing well. Need to finish.
Should be up 1-0 there with Mitro.
Oh Mitro [emoji20]

That was a late and hard tackle on Tom.
Swansea playing kinda rough.
Is this becoming a one-sided game where we come unstuck?
That was not a very nice tackle, could have easily been red (without seeing a replay)

Judging by the stats Swansea aren't even on the field and it's still 0-0
No goals in the Championship??
Just can't seem to finish.
Have out first goal and it's that man for Barnsley
Going to get a drink; shaking head in frustration.

Barnsley one up at Hull
Cauley 15 for the season now.
and Leeds re 1 up
Leeds 1 up.
Wouldn't mind seeing StefJo on and Harry off to ensure the quick pace is kept up during the second half.

Why? We played well. No goals, but that's because Swansea are defending.
10 shots to 1
8 corners to 1
Guess people will blame Scott for poor finishing.
Much better with more attacking line up. Missing a goal.
I wonder if Reid would give way for AK although not sure how to re-jig formation as a result.
Think both Cav and Knockaert playing well.
My god Boro are dire. Mate my has cleared it with no one around and some how managed to boot it out of site for it to fall 2 yards further up the pitch and straight to a Leeds player who scored.
Looks like more of the same from FFC. HT no score. Dominant possession, Swans still in the game.
If we had played with this pace in almost every match so far this season, think we would be sitting in 2nd place. It's much better from FFC with the quick one touch two passing that is creating more chances and allowing more corners and shot on goals.
Glad to hear the boys are playing with more pace. Still need to find the net.

It's not more of the same. We show pace and creativity and are completely dominating and have created a couple of very good chances. I assume you are not watching the game?
So basically, with McBride being the general manager for the USA national team he will be traveling more abroad to watch American players in action at their clubs. So, he could show up to watch Ream, Fossey, Luca and Damian Las.

I did note above nice to hear playing with more pace. Not watching, can't get a stream. Let's hope FFC can find the net though. We've seen these type of games before, total dominance, points dropped. COYW!

Even if they are only listening to Gentleman Jim, I'm not sure how anyone can come to the conclusion this is more of the same.
My problem with Fulham this year is they should do this every game and not so infrequently. But I also know that the team has it within them to play this way, so I cut Scott some slack.
Not missing Onomah at all, which is a good thing. To be fair, I'd rather play Bobby in the midfield over Josh, with Tom and Stefjo/Arter in there. I like Josh, but I think he's more of a ball hog.
AK on for AK soon please. No need to jig the formation.

Maybe he could suit up. He still looks trim.

GIVE HIM A CHANCE AK!!!!

If I'd been reffing, I'd have given that penalty handball easier than the one that cost us v Derby.
Think AK on for Cav at 60 mins.
Think we have dropped off the pace. Want Knockaert and Harry off with AK and StefJo on.
But Knockaerts deliveries tonight have been dire again..
Eugh.
Tonight we're trying to play forward at least, the quality is just severely lacking
That's more like it, quick triangles and a quality delivery from TC.
Come on lads!

Its been that long the players have forgotten how to do it
Damn FFCTv dropped out
For all our possession we are seriously lacking in the final third. Unfortunately I can see Swansea nicking this.
Where are the subs? We need to keep up the intensity.
Want score if we play till midnight.
Hopefully that will do the trick.
Really do need to have either AK or Kebano on, or both
"He (Mitrovic) is not the type who goes down and stays down without good reason" says Jamie. (Well, except when we are ahead with under five minutes to go, Jamie).
Yeh they're going to nick this

We need a sub.

Cav off? Kabano on.
hmm I thought Cav actually looked like creating something
Only 3 goals scored in all championship games so far tonight.

Agree, could have seen Bobby coming off as I agree with GJ that he is absent in this match.
Echo that, should've been Bobby to come off

That could have been a pen. Really dodged a bullet there.
Seems like 2nd half let down after 'pacey' first half? I think only one shot 2nd half. Need strong finish if we are to secure 3 points.
AK on for AK. Too late in my book.
So as it stands now 7 points of autos.
Once again when we need to turn up we bottle it.
It's just fancy, elegant and totally ineffective play.
Kamara should have been brought on 20 mins ago
Is our 9 year run without a goalless league draw at the Cottage coming to an end?

A total prat penalty.

A f'ing stuttered runup ends in a save about 90% of the time. Why the f do players do it?!!
Wasn't a penalty and a ridiculous attempt at taking it.
YES
MITROOOOOOOO

Mitro, Yas. Get in there. First decent cross all night.

That's why AK should start
Villain to hero. Said AK should have come on much earlier. Great cross, great header.
Meltdown on the board, cracking open a Coke Zero boys.
Was just about to say that we couldn't win even with the most biased ref I've ever seen.
But wow, if that doesn't give us something leading into Saturday then nothing will

This is why Cav and Knock need to swap wings to get crosses in, instead of cutting inside

3 vital points, come on fulham!!
All players well & truly surely have shut the moaners up. Only the one goal but that is all you need for 3 points. Super overall performance. We played the pretty football some were screaming for.

Knock needs to start...but AK47 should be getting minimum 20 minutes off the bench every game.
Also, I thought Bobby Reid was below average, and I thought he started well.
Just looked at stats. One amazing one is clearances. Swansea 53 us 9

Well no, but that was one of the most highly pressurised penalties Fulham has seen for about 4 years. I'm going to cut him a bit of slack for allowing the pressure to get to him a bit and making a poor decision.
