No Mitro either ffs. This mad love affair with SP and Cav is getting tedious now. That could be the decision that gets SP the boot.

wouldnt be far off of this, with the players available, but i honestly dont see how cav makes the bench let alone starting another game. its criminal, to the point id even get the police in to investigate if parker has whacked a huge sum on himself to be the first manager to get sacked. can anyone make a rational claim for him to be anywhere near the team. he offers nothing, less than nothing. no doubt he will do something tonight for the first time in nearly a season to make me look silly, but my god how is this justified. and no, looking good on the training pitch accounts for nothing when you have consistently been anonymous for so long.

+1, good idea to keep an idea on the sack race (1st premier league manager to be sacked) betting odds, I share your theory as well either that or Parker has totally lost the plot!!

100% headscratcher. How on earth does he get close to the pitch?! What does Scott see in him? Lets hope its the few goals to bring home the 3 points? The chances you get struck by lightning are greater.

No Cairney or Mitrovic. Both would be in my starting 11.  Why is Kamara on the bench?  He should be sold ASAP to allow space for a proper forward. Cavaleiro stays in, Parker must have more faith in him than most on this board.

Cav is involved in most attacking moves, and  also tackles back and defends. He also has a lethal long range shot, which we haven't seen enough of in recent times, but he can score  from a distance.
Maybe today...

Just saying as to why Scott might  pick him.

that has to be worst case scenario doesnt it. to be losing 5 0 deep into stoppage time only for cav to step up and smash in a screamer after doing sod all for 94 minutes, to justify his inclusion for the rest of the season

Other than cav, it's a decent line up. Having said that, who should play instead? Mitro has been in such poor form and ak is pretty useless. Not sure Cairney or leminacould play that role so doesn't leave is with many options. Also Kebano doesn't cut it.

I cannot understand myself why Cav is picked when you see who else is on the bench and who did not even make the bench. This is a complete mystery unless he is there for penalties.

This isn't a crazy idea to play our "graft" lineup and try to disrupt rather than possess against a side that prefers to counter rather than possess.

Ultimately, we're probably not good enough regardless, and I wouldn't have Cav anywhere near the XI, but Parker's idea about how to approach this match has some merit.

We have a dof who knows nothing about football and probably has no idea how cack Cav has been for months. Maybe he's like Ronaldo in training, but  Ronald McDonald in the matches. I'm convinced SP isn't going anywhere even if we end the season on 4 points, or his job would have been threatened by now.
I pray for a freak result in our favour, but the fact is we've only taken points off the dung teams and lost to others who've been well off form.
I'm expecting a hammering.

The best way to give Cav some rest would be to start Ream. That way, we can get back to normal bashing him. May on here were happy to have Cav when he arrived. He is what we yanks call a journeyman. Not great. Not terrible. He simply fills a spot. Wish we had someone better? You betcha. Still, he's a Fulham player and even wit all the
hate he gets, wouldn't it be Fulhamish if he had a great game?

He had a good game against West Brom but otherwise hasn't been head and shoulders above the rest of our best XI, has he. He's one of our most immobile, slowest players and nigh on useless when we don't have possession. So I can entirely understand the reasons for dropping him in a game where we're likely to be defending and counter-attacking most of the time.

The same reasons IMO justify dropping Mitrovic for Cavaliero, who's not made an impact at this level but is nowhere near as poor as some on here make out. He's not another Mark Fotheringham.

Steady with that sensible logic. I do get the flak that Cav gets but as you suggest none of Cairney, Mitro or AK track back and Cairney, RLC and Zambo cannot play at the same time.

With benefit of hindsight, I agree. TC slows us down with his sideways passes and is entirely predictable because of his one footed game. Premier quality defenders know how to shepherd him away from the danger area. Mitro has been off the pace for most of this season and makes us one-dimensional. I confess I wasn't happy about Cav, but he played well tonight. Let's hope his goal will give him the confidence to improve further.

Cav's pen proved to be the winning goal. 3 points is what we needed and we played as a team, chasing back, doubling up on the opposition and getting the win. Reed, RLC and Lookman look like a good trio atm.
