Is this a new rule? Home teams are not allowed to take any shots in the first 30 minutes?

It seems zero creativity and not a shot yet despite 81% possession
I think we'd be better off with McDonald. Or perhaps Parker thinks that all this dynamism and rapid movement would be too much for him at his age...

to be fair we didnt need the beach, just regular trips to the massive cheap supermarkets in fuengirola along with the local enticing sounding eroski city to keep stocked up with mainly alcohol and food.

The sad thing is that since February nobody, based on the posts here and conversations with other Whites, seems to be filled with any enthusiasm at all about our play. If opposition in the lower places of the Championship have rumbled us, can you imagine what would happen against top tier teams.
What puzzles me is why no reaction from SP

This is Fulham. Creating scoring chances other than a cross in the box is not something we know how to do.

I like Scott Parker...but I hate his coaching staff.

And the manager shouldn't have his sister's husband on the squad. What was the point of bringing Stefjo back?

It's well known the manager here doesn't get say on transfers, so let's not delude ourselves Arter was Scott's signing.

StefJo has started 19 games this season, so he's featured more than you think.

Post by: YankeeJim on July 04, 2020, 04:10:35 PM: We certainly are boring to watch. Going against 11 in front of the ball doesn't help. Still, Reid is always in the area, always looking like he's dangerous but there is never an end product.
I wonder how much of the criticism against Ream is the fault of an out of form Hector?

Some case for an offside as Ezgjan Alioski was stood right in front of the Rovers keeper as the shot came in, but there was no decision coming.

He did the same against us.

Can we all agree...after this season...u either change the manager...or we buy 5 new starters?

This is Fulham. Creating scoring chances other than a cross in the box is not something we know how to do.

I like Scott Parker...but I hate his coaching staff.

And the manager shouldn't have his sister's husband on the squad. What was the point of bringing Stefjo back?

Disagree, sounds like recipe for disaster.

I am also not a fan of conspiracy theories, and think the accusation is quite serious. Do you really think so little of Parker’s character?

And Johansen was our player all along, and had played a lot.

Lastly, why do you hate Parker’s coaching staff?

It's well known the manager here doesn't get say on transfers, so let's not delude ourselves Arter was Scott's signing.

StefJo has started 19 games this season, so he's featured more than you think.

The Manager does have a say, just because Slav threw his teddy out the cot doesnt mean every manager does
