Maja watch part II

[H4usuallysitting]

Tomorrow - he starts & scores....we win

[filham]

I am just off to bed, I can hope to dream something along those lines.

[Nero]

In need of a win and 3 points doubt Parker will start him

[Dodger53]

Scott knowing we have to win will will bring him on with 10 minutes to go and losing 2-0 and blame fine margins for the defeat.

[Whitestone]

We've been short of goals for a while now so it makes sense to start Maja. He's been with the squad for ten days so plenty of time to get up to speed.

Scott knowing we have to win will will bring him on with 10 minutes to go and losing 2-0 and blame fine margins for the defeat.

You're not allowed to be critical of Parker on this board.. everything is cause for optimism and we're doing well (third relegation under the khans, won 2 games and been in relegation places almost all season and despite having a good squad still not getting more points..).. Doesn't matter going down... because we'll come up again (and perhaps still get it wrong then)... that'll be fine though, because we have a habit of looking after the players that get us up when we're in the championship - have definitely not made those players feel ostracised and under appreciated (two times) and their loyalty will stick with us.. not got a reputation for chucking them by the wayside and getting in loads of new players to replace them.. Definitely don't have the players who could/can score in this league (mitro and Lookman and BDR despite the fact they can) - who are being managed perfectly and we're just unlucky/they've suddenly been unable to score...

It's dry, it's boring, it's lacklustre, it's uninspiring... and I know i've gone to a more extreme level with my posts as this season has worn on, but insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results - took us ages to get out of the five at the back, we've hardly seen mitro all season, we've constantly persisted with Cav... It's like watching the US election before trump got elected in slow motion, but knowing how it pans out...

This has been (on a purely results/points basis) a horrendous season. The only reason fans are approaching it more calmly is because we've been in a bad place all season, we're not getting thwacked in every game (which was the fear when we started the season) and you could argue we're now becoming used to being the premier leagues relegation team.

It's embarrassing. Used to have pride in how this club was run, despite some difficult moments in the premiership, used to have faith that we either had a manager who knew what to do, or a owner in Al Fayed who knew when to pull the plug but put in considered decisions re recruitment and hiring/firing managers (minus Lawrie Sanchez)...

But you're not allowed to point out that we're 11 points worse off than we were last time we were up (and there's a chance we may not even eclipse the 26 points we got then) under parker and this season, despite having a better defence.

TK has consistenly over the ENTIRE time he's been DOF got our transfer policy horrendously wrong - he's responsible for managing the books, for taking FFP into account, to bringing in the right players that form a well balanced TEAM - Not an attack heavy one, or a defence heavy one.. but a balanced team that gives us a chance... He's done that at the championship, but simply has no clue how to do it at premiership level.

This isn't even a rant of me saying things that are speculative and untrue - it's based on trends of what's happened over YEARS of watching this team and club under the Khan's and even under Parker. I will always follow and support Fulham, they're my team and I look forward to one day taking a family of my own to CC, but this period definitely goes down into the catergory of dour/tiresome and pretty poor.

The question is of course is he better than Mitro., Cav., Lookman, or Reid.
If the answer is yes then he should play if the answer is no then the question is why did we sign him.

It's comforting to read a post with realistic perspective.  Agree with every point.

And for the OP, there is no chance of Parker starting Maja.

It feels strange when folk start talking about a win - I've tried to remember what I did, how I felt and how I celebrated but cannot seem to remember.

[WindyCity]

Tomorrow - he starts & scores....we win

Fingers crossed for that result.  Would be nice to see more game time, be able to better evaluate what he might bring to the table.

Funny you say that Keith, my son has a newish girlfriend &, not being a football fan, asked if Fulham ever win.  She'll learn no doubt.

You are "allowed" to say what you like (subject to the rules of the board).  Those who don't share your views about Scott Parker could make the same complaint as yours from the other side of the argument.

Appreciate that and you're right.. technically. But the reality is we're well on the course to relegation despite the effort we put in to getting promoted last year and it is now a "trend" in the sense that we are now a yoyo club...

Having been on the more critical side though I have seen and been on the receiving end of more and more aggressive criticism which is ok, I can deal with that but it is getting  to be divisive and also semi on the lines of personal.. if that's from my side of things too then obviously I need to apologise but I believe a lot of my comments have been hierarchy at club focused, whereas those who are perhaps more accepting have been a bit more critical of those who are trying to raise the temperature re urgency and results.

Hoping you're in a good mood today and feeling lucky. A win would be amazing and a small step to a chance of staying up, but we're now in a position where it is semi realistic to not expect it to be guaranteed to get anything but a draw or loss. Fingers crossed.
