Hopefully neither were Villa.
We're doing pretty well.

Villa is playing their B team too, it looks like.
Hector looks alright thus far
Why is there a smaller crowd? Fans don't care about the FA Cup?
Even match

Anybody else lost commentary?
Hector on the left Mawson on the right? Surely they're playing the other way round as mawson is an LCB and Hector is a RCB. Can anyone confirm?
Hector on the right.

Mawson is left of Hector. I don't think it is accurate to call Mawson a LCB. He's right footed. He might have played their for a long time for Swansea and be most mentally comfortable there, but he's just a right-footed CB.
No forward..
Not much happening. More like a friendly game.

Not sure I agree. No scores but a lot is going on in the pitch.
Knock working his ass off. Hector winning the ball in the air.. everyone moving the ball well.
Entertaining game imo.

I still think the back end of the midfield is too slow defensively (MacD and Stefjo)

Your namesake did alright as a right footed LCB.
Villa slightly on top, I think. We're badly missing a target man but have got the ball into attacking positions fairly well. Hector excellent at the back.
Hector having a good game except a couple of long passes misplaced. Been 1 of our better 1st halves lately, though Villa not exactly working their socks off.
Why play with no-one up top?
As usual plenty of knocking it around sideways and back, but no incisive balls into danger areas, as there is no-one there!
Villa should be 1-0 up to be fair, and hope for better in the second half.
Good goal Knocky
GET IN!!!
Knockers. Think he was pleased with that
So nearly 2 up
Fulham is feeling it!! Keep it up.
Anyone watching that like me and going, " don't shoot Knocky, don't waste it, pass it someone, oh ffs. ....................
Did I see a defender clear out a cross with his head...?
Oh well...
Hector did not do well there.
Hector mistake on his debut....Its catching this defensive mistakes of ours.
Let's pretend that it happened because of Hector being a bit rusty.

You play no one up top to pull defenders around, which helps to create space. It's a footballing gambit.
Must teach bad defending in training
We really bring it on ourselves
Rodak could have come out quicker to close down Kodgia
MacD did pretty ok. You could tell he was getting tired.

Get rid now.
Great goal, knew I shouldn´t have bet against us!
Sitting in the JH stand and there is a family of Villa fans wearing scarves who celebrated their goal and the stewards did nothing. Just as well we have nice friendly fans.
Stefjo to row Z

FFC is the family friendliest club in England, after all. The stewards must know this.
Blimey can we get a third and polish this game offf.
Cherubic Jay Stansfield on.
Luca del a Torre on for Cav.
Fulham dominating at the moment. Pressing hard.
Tranmere is tied with Watford 3-3.
Stansfield with a great cross in to Knockhaert. Just missed it.
Knock should have knocked that in
Hector losing Kodja again

Time for Hector to go....into the showers with the rest of the team.
I'll take that
Good guys win!
So glad to see Hector is dominant in the air and with him and Arter they are fiery and like to put a shove and kick in
Good win, well done Fulham!

Well done lads! Got bragging rights with my mate at work 049:gif
We won !!
Good performance from a makeshift team against a very experienced Villa. 2 great goals & we are on our way to Wembley
Fulham were the better side today...even without Mitro, Cairney, Reid and Ream.
Good job Scott.

Arter is back!
Great result. Knocky back to his best and Stansfield looks promising. Even though he made a mistake Hector looks a good signing, really impressed with his passing as well as defending.

Yeah exactly, a right footed LCB. It's not that odd, sometimes left backs are right footed and vice versa. It all depends on what side you're most comfortable playing.
