You can still listen online via FFCtv?
I'm listening online to Gentleman Jim while I watch on ESPN+.
Cute card board cutouts LOL. God I'm glad we didn't do that.
Lets hope it's our lucky red kit.
Hopefully Bamford won't start finding the goal against us.

Naughty Mitro. Lucky boy to still be on.
S/B Red card
Mitro with the elbow to the jaw. 049:gif
God Mitro... FFS. Just stop.
God this game screams for Ryan Babel on the wing.
Not seen that Mitro in a while

The expert pundit is Steeve who evidently dislikes our Mitro.

Great, thanks
Bloody Arter
God loving awful
Had to be Bamford. Really sloppy
Arter at his best
sloppy
Arter justified his selection already then, idiot!

An assist for Arter.
Great putty patter passing Arter. God we're going to get crushed
I don't normally bet us but thought we were over priced at 4/1....So had a few quid on us.
Don't tell the wife.👰
This has got to be the slowest front line I've seen this week.
They just ran through our slow team. Where are the midfielders?
was there a case for offside with Roberts jump over the ball
1 shot 1 goal, bloody typical :031: :031:
Harry Arter is a mistake.
So focused on tip tap soccer that we're not good enough to play. Gods damn it
Arter is terrible
Did we have any warm up games before this part of the season started or is Parker just using the games as a warm up for the play offs
Bryan was 20 yards behind the ball. Reim was so slow. Didn't see Reed and Arter...nepotism at its finest.
I'm biased, but Cav would start every game for me.
Lol....We're 12/1 now.😁
What the hell do they do in training all week, play 3 & in. 11 strangers out there.
What is Bobby's natural position...he's not a winger.
Leeds are killing this game off already it's slightly embarrassing
We are simply not good enough.
Long way to go yet....Coyw
all this nice crisp passing in midfield looks great but at the moment whats the point if it doesnt lead to anything, just looks so 1 dimensional atm
Now we will have to score 2 without reply. which will be some challenge.
If we get out of this hole we have dug, we need to be a little more direct.
We cannot go chasing at the moment, if it stays like this until half time, it is no disaster.
The intensity by both teams is very high.
If we get anything out of this I shall salute Fulham.
Huge overreactions on here in my opinion. Don't think we have played too bad, but a few individual mistakes (Ream, Mitro, Arter) makes Leeds look good. We have every chance if we stop Messing about.
Whoever loses this game will deserve being in a playoff fight. Not seeing much from Fulham yet.
We're Pressing them well,all is not lost.
Why did Joe Bryan just give the ball away on that free kick?
Team is playing too damn slow.

But the messing around is what Parker wants
I thought I was watching SKY but it sounds more like Leeds TV.
Boys out there look lost and confused of what they are to do
Not playing too badly. Have to remember we are playing probably the best side in the league. Having said that I have no time for Arter. Individual mistakes are so frustrating. Also this needs a content warning given how much the commentators love Leeds.
I wish Steeve would **** off.
Has Arter found a Red shirt yet?
This commentator is a real piece of work
We're playing well now..Coyw

Now that's just a ridiculous comment in my opinion.
Jesus we are poop - correction Arter is donkey
knockaert probably our best player at the moment, need some of our other guys to lift a bit
Already done more going forward than we did for the whole of the Brentford game
Ream almost gets caught again with the same faint
Stonewall peno.
That missed opportunity by Bobby is the kind of goal we need from him. Ryan would have gotten that in the back of the net.
McLaren doing my head in....
Lets hope their high tempo catches up with them.
How is that not a penalty? No contact my ass. These commentators can love off.
This commentary is embarrassing now, don't they have a producer?
He is such a t**t. He knows what is in Mitro's mind now.
Reed playing well again.
That elbow was payback Mitro. And I didn't see much contact on Bobby. He missed the opportunity.
Steve McLaren is a wa*ker, pass it on
He's obsessed.
Quote from: The Cravenette on June 27, 2020, 03:31:15 PM

He literally just said "take that Mitrovic" watching a replay of Ayling elbowing him. What a sad, bitter special one pr1ck who was an absolutely crap manager.
He's wound me up more than the scoreline
This announcer was all over Mitro with his elbow but glosses over the one on Mitrovic.
Going to switch off Leeds TV & tune into GJ & Jamie for an un-biased commentary.
Better.
That was a pen handball
Handball in the box, players complain so he books Knockaert, bloody typical :010:
Both the pull of the shirt on Mitro and the handball were clear penalties. Too be fair though, seems like the ref is useless both ways.
If the ref sees that then it's a pen
Mitro had his shirt nearly ripped off & then their defender guides the ball with his hand. No pens given of course.

We are well in this game, and good see how aggressive our players are.
Its all us,we should be level.
We're better than Leeds. I retract my emotional responses. We should have three Penos.

Agreed.
I kept hearing about how good Bobby was when we signed him, but he's a poacher, and currently not a very good one. Too inconsistent.
i will say, the ref missing these calls seems to have fired the boys up, maybe its something we need to get going

When will this ref wake up to the abuse on Mitro
At least someone has shut Steeve up.

Who wants to stay with us if we don't go up?
I haven't seen the boys so fired up so much for a long time. So much urgency but we cannot afford to have anyone sent off either.
I think the ref is too easily influenced by this crowd (...who have been remarkably well behaved, may I say)
Who is our left winger? we never seem to have anyone there
Hands down we are the better side in this game. We need this win.

As they know realistically this is the last chance to go up
Better team on the pitch by far. Unlucky with the goal. 3-1 for Fulham final score 049:gif
Played well after the early set back. Should at least be level if not in front. Keep the momentum 2nd half.
Cairney off please, for anyone. Calvin has completely taken him out of the game
Correction; Cava on for Cairney and Bobby goes into the middle
Knowing we can make 5 subs I'd take off Reid, cairney and arter.
Bringing on McDonald cava and stef Jo.
At half time.
Quote from: Rj Fulham on June 27, 2020, 03:50:23 PM

Scott got this starting lineup wrong, imo. He should have sat Bobby and had Cav on the wing from the start. Fulham are trying to get our FBs to provide that width, but having Mitro + Bobby centrally is easy for Leeds to mark. It also leaves our defense in danger with our FBs playing so high up.
As great a CF as Mitro is, there are some teams set up to defend against crosses into the box. Leeds look like one of those teams.
Unless I'm mistaken it's been a game and a half, we haven't seen one shot from Tom Cairney.
To be honest I thought Bamford was going to get a second killer goal a minute before half time.

Bobby as the No. 10 would be his best spot. Cairney won't be taken off, but this wouldn't be a poor switch to be fair.

I thought so too, but then at a front angle you can see that he isn't really close enough to be affecting the play. Correct decision unfortunately, as was the handball for me. The foul on BDR was a stonewaller though.

I don't disagree.
So what halftime adjustments will Parker now that he knows how the game isn't being called. They need to figure out another way to get two goals regardless of the ref.
I'd start by replacing Bobby with Ivan. Arter is ok as long as he isn't expected to defend. I'd give Tom 10 more minutes to try and affect the game.

But don't forget Steve McClaren was quick to say "ah, well, they can't get them all right, maybe there wasn't too much contact"..."but Mitro should be off, blah blah blah, I love Leeds, blah blah, I don't like Fulham" is all i heard.
What a nob.
Looks like Mitro will get a retrospective 3 match ban. But what about their players elbow. BBC do not mention that.
I don't disagree.

Ivan for Knockers, if TC can't impact the game in the first 5-10 then move Bobby Reid to No. 10, switch Ivan left, and put Kebano out on the wing?
I just find Knockers too predictable and selfish... i'm biased against him starting.

Agree 100% about Anthony. I don't rate him a winger that tries to play with a traditional #9.
Coyw...👍
Leeds don't have to play good football. Don't be deceived because we've held possession. They already have 3 points.
WE have to chase the game. We have to be more clinical.
Poor game.
What the hell did Ream do there. He has to get a grip now.
Why do we start each half asleep,lucky there.
Is it my idea or are we playing (something like) 3-5-2?
I would have Cav on the right for Knockers.
Cav for Knock plse.
amazing the ref can find his whistle when the guy on mitro goes to ground :031:
Smash and grab. Can't see us winning this now.
They're sh*te & we're losing 2-0...
Aaaannnddd we're done.
When was the last free kick we scored?
Pace on the outside...
...it's a beautiful thing. I wish we had some.
Five players falling over themselves.
What rubbish defending. Every one of them. How many times did they fail to clear.
Well, should be 1-1 and then that.
Calamity defending!
That's that then.
That's game set and match... again
youve got to be loving kidding me, 4 bloody players there and not one gets a bloody foot on it. Disgraceful.
Also think the commentator might need some tissues after that...
That was the most embarrassing defending I've seen in a long time. Looked like a drunk amateur team. A shame when we have been playing well.
Quote from: SP on June 27, 2020, 04:18:43 PM

Almost two games... ZERO goals.
I sincerely hope they enjoy their season in the Premier League.
I'm done. Good performance in every area that doesn't win games.
We will be luck to stay in the Top 6.
Their subs have changed it for them.
That break just showed how slow and disorganised our players are.
Whole left side of our defence is shambles, would love to know how many goals we concede from balls coming in from the left
Since we won't beat Brentford in the playoffs, its looks like a real train wreck coming in the off season.
That's me done for today, another shambles and a shower of Sh1t
Big Hec is having one today as well isn't he

Decordova-Reid avoids much of the criticism that others receive, but he has been a major disappointment all season, and that moment sums it up. It really should have been 1-1 and all to play for. Instead, 2-0 down and more or less over. Last desperate throw of the dice - must put Cavalheiro on place of Decordova-Reid, Johansen for Arter and whatever is needed in terms of fresh midfield legs.
Tim ream. Why

Parker has changed tactics but the players havn´t a clue how to play the new system.
We dont create any clear cut chances. When Mitro leaves in the summer we'll be in real trouble
Hmmm...
I'm starting to see why Onamah kept getting all those minutes.

Please do explain. Because I remember few games with Onomah in which we played well. In my opinion he is behind Cairney, Reid, Arter, Reed, Johansen and Kmac based on what we have seen so far.
We've bought Hector down to our level.
Stuffing been knocked out of us. We are now a shambles.
The scheme is trying to use our FBs to create width, and it's leaving those FB out of position.
Can we at least get Cav on so we can stop force feeding the ball to Mitro?
Parkers tactics definitely make us one of the least threatening attacking teams in the division. All season we've relied on Mitrovic and the odd 30 yard worldies. We've just so easy to defend against.
Defensively we're a shambles. Constantly give the ball away in dangerous areas and gift teams goals, and also get caught on the break usually by the space where fullbacks vacate being exposed
The midfield is very poor in both facets of the game.
If Mitro is out for 3 games, I doubt we make the playoffs
WTF
Mitro's head and shoulders have dropped.
Looks fed up at moment....
Wahey
Oh look another goal from left side
who plays up front, if mitro gets suspended and Kamara is apparently injured?
Our defence is still garbage.....lol
Who on the pitch will want to stay? Whom do WE want to stay?
Parker has to go
Game over. Very poor this half and you'd have to be worried about finishing in the top six with the fixtures we have coming up.
Another defensive cock up shared by Bryan & Rodak. Both should have done better.
Ream over run the ball .....another goal.
Look tired and flat.
We are simply not good enough.
This is embarrassing.
Bryan wrong side of the attacker. And if Bettinelli had been in goal, people would have criticised him for not making a better effort to stop that

Reed....played as CDM (which even though he played well last week, he isn't great at) so no.
Kmac...also CDM, so he'd play with Onomah as well.
So that leaves Reid, Arter and Johansen.
You can argue that they are all better as a midfielder (box to box, #10) than Josh, but I'd disagree.
Edit: At 77th minute Onomah looks GROSSLY out of shape. I'm talking FAT.
Le marchand will turn this game around
Good thing I got to see this mess live...
2 games against promotion rivals
Scored 0
Conceded 5
Never looked like scoring. Terrible defensively. Whole team is too slow
oh look, 3-0 and now we will make some changes, all the bloody good it will do now
Trying to keep it down to 3 with those subs
Could they at least have tried to defend a little. Now this forum will be in meltdown from all the usual suspects frothing at the mouth, and it will take several days before a decent discussion can be had again. A shame really.

i cant really blame them for it though, two games back and we've been nowhere near good enough, backline is a shambles and our forward half is just too 1 dimensional in the extreme

Well Parker has said he wants to give Fulham an identity, and he has accomplished that
Shambolic defence which gift the other teams goals
Pointless boring passing around the middle of the pitch with zero penetration.
Next to no goal threat
Well done Scott, great job
I preferred it when there was no football. At least I don't have a long journey home after watching these thoroughly depressing performances. At this rate our best hope is to do a Huddersfield if we make the play offs. That is a big if right now. IMO
I will give my player ratings now. Every player gets a 1, just for turning up except Harrison Reed who gets a 9. He is the only player trying to play with pride.
Bring on QPR!
OK...
Look where Odoi is playing....uh oh...
Reed limping.
Our midfield is incredibly slow. Actually our team is. We've really had a problem at the back for years now but compensated for that with attacking verve. Now we have a manager that has taken that asset away.

With games against QPR, Forest, Cardiff and West Brom coming up, I agree with you.
Who has been sent off
That wasnt a yellow he just fell over
Parker is trying to use Odoi and Bryan like Slav used Malone and Fredricks. What he doesnt seem to realise is there is a massive speed difference between those sets of players. The amount of times in the promotion season that Fredricks bailed us out defensively because of his pace cannot be overlooked. With the slow players, Bryan especially , we constantly get exposed when they get caught upfield.
Kebano off. Cherry on the icing.
At least Kebano can't play now, every cloud....

9 is waaaaaaaaaaaay too high if we're grading on a footballing scale. MOTM, agreed though. But the CDM should not be your best player, especially if he's not contributing to goals scored through buildup play. He's running his heart out though.
Scott Parker got a 1 this game...and I'm not a Scott Parker out kinda guy.
But, because I'm watching more and more good footballing sides I'm starting to think Fulham, with the financial resources it has, need a better on the ball coach than Scott.
I don't want this style of football anymore. The bottom 3 La Liga teams would run rings around Fulham...and I'm sure their managers are affordable.
This wasn't pretty football, not even in the first half.
Very harsh 2nd yellow for Kebano. He tripped himself up & fell into their player. No way intentional.
Absurd to give that as a second yellow card, but we won't miss Kebano. He tries, but he simply isn't good enough.
At least Reed is still trying, have to give him that, everyone else gave up after the 2nd goal went in
Aaaaand now Kebano, one of the only attacking players we have on the bench, cant play next game. :protest card: Jesus christ what a utter waste of time this last 90 minutes have been. Parker could well be looking over his shoulder after these last two games, things looking very dire

Parker is trying to use Odoi and Bryan like Slav used Malone and Fredricks. What he doesnt seem to realise is there is a massive speed difference between those sets of players. The amount of times in the promotion season that Fredricks bailed us out defensively because of his pace cannot be overlooked. With the slow players, Bryan especially , we constantly get exposed when they get caught upfield.
Well yeah. All of that.
I'm also going to again say that Reid +Knockhaert + Mitro are the slowest front line in the league. Not sure what anyone expected from that.
Do we dump Parker now and hope for a turnaround in the playoffs or wait until the end of the season to have the new guy try to build a team w/o Mitro & Carney?

I don't see any risk to sacking Parker now. We're not going up under him so there's all to gain and nothing to lose. New manager bounce in the playoff final anyone?
I only got to see the second half....I saw no merit at all in the Fulham performance whatsoever. The commentary Z team suggested that we dominated the first half, but seeing as it was 1-0 at HT I really doubt that too.
Another Championship season beckons...and maybe that will save a good deal of humiliation.
Quite right Ron, last season would look like a walk in the park if we manage to get promotion.
After dominating the 1st half & playing well but for some poor ref decisions on a few pen appeals we should have been level at half time. What happened in the 2nd half was a disaster of epic proportions. 3 goals may have flattered Leeds but goals win matches, something we are unable to do.
With Mitro facing a retrospective review, Kebano missing for a game & AK not fit Reid is our only striker & he can´t hit a barn door.

We did. The performance was decent first half but again we just struggle to create clear cut chances
I think Merson is right, hang in against us & you'll get your reward.
