POST MATCH: Wolves

[LPNCanadian]

Wolves are a team I truly enjoy, and I really hope they stay in the EPL. The game was certainly better than the one against Crystal. Getting those three points on the road was essential! The standout players for Fulham today are Diop, Castagne, and Amada.

Very good win.

But if we look to our Premier League schedule in the next few games (Brighton, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bournemouth), i think our chances to get a european spot are very short. Schedule is very very dificult.

For now, bring a win from Old Trafford and a place on the next round of FA Cup.

I still think Sess is a winger not a fullback. He looked good today. Diop looked hungry and maybe Marco needs to work him in and Andersen out a bit more often. The setup that started the match made for a nice goal early on but they had 60% possession. Ya can't score if you don't have the ball.

Great win and nice of the team to shut down some of the noise on here that our squad depth is crap, especially considering a total change in system tonight as well

I'm not aware anyone has said our squad depth is crap. Some have argued it needs to be improved either due to age or in order to kick on next season to try for Europe, but crap? I stand to be corrected but certainly haven't read that argument anywhere.

I was not expecting the change in formation and personnel today. Well done Marco!

The only gripe is that we're back to doing nothing with the ball in possession when we're a goal up which didn't work vs a few teams like West Ham.

As said in another post, I disagree. I think we did quite a lot with the ball, and were the much better team for the last 25 minutes or so.

I think I just have nightmares about how we kept losing/drawing to last minute goals because we were being so defensive.

So much for no depth in the squad.

There was a few posts after the Palace game that our squad is one of the weakest PL squads we've ever had, which to me was quite disrespectful considering how we've had a good season so far and stand a shot at European football, with our fringe players all contributing successfully throughout the season too

[General]

4 points off 5th and we're all aware of the games we dropped point in when perhaps we shouldn't have.

Appreciate there are fine lines, but we're really giving it a go this season and credit has to be given to Marco, the coaches and squad.

The potential is definitely there.

To beat Wolves, at a ground we've never won a PL game at, with a whole host of changes to our normal starting 11 in Cuenca, Sessegnon, Muniz, Pereira and Diop all starting when they don't normally is a healthy sign.

Who knows what'll happen on the weekend vs Man Utd, but we got to rest Bassey, Willian, Jimenez, ESR, Iwobi, Robinson for a large chunk of the game. Given Wolves are actually doing decently at the moment and dispatched us 4-1 at the Cottage, it's a pretty great result.

[Carborundum]

That was very competent.  Practically everyone played well.  Subs worked a treat. The timing of Bassey for Cuenca was perfect.  Just as the young man's concentration might have been wavering we brought on a monstrous ball-magnet.  Willian is Clark Kent - mild mannered and inoffensive anywhere else, put him in a Fulham changing room, he emerges for short bursts of heroics.  Jiminez got himself in all the right positions, Iwobi never gives the ball away and Robinson, well Robinson just stored up his worst 15 minutes of the season, puts it behind him and we still won.

Well done Marco.

[hopper]

Who said Muniz can't start? Showing again what a brilliant finisher he is. Very good performance.

For me MoM was Andreas who looks back to his best.

Sess showing continued signs that he's getting back to the player we know he can be. Was like a rewind seeing him arrive at the right time and put it away.

Diop another good showing. He's been our best defender this season I think. Andersen is there for his on ball abilities though.

Willian very assured cameo, looking a shrewd move. Brings much needed calm and composure.

Adama has truly established himself, a great assist.

Jedi had a total disaster in his cameo. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong, and a really poor miss from Raul to kill the game or square it to Iwobi. Had all the time in the world and made it so easy for Sa, and made it an uncomfortable end. Would have loved him to seal it at Molineux.

[SuffolkWhite]

Soooooo, is Europe 🇪🇺  back on again or at least until the next defeat 

[Tabby]

Happy that Iwobi got to have a bit of rest. Has been played almost every minute with the injuries on the wings and has been starting to look a bit worn recent weeks.

[Shredhead]

Fantastic result with some squad rotation. What's not to like?

Yeah! The guy is our Spanish Amada!

[KentFulham]

Muniz, Pereira and Sess all did well. Good to know that Ryan can step up if Robinson gets suspended or is off his game.

That pass from Traore to Muniz for the second goal was filthy.

I think Sess is a better crosser, finisher, first touch and general forward play than Robinson, why not play both with Sess further forward, keep Robinson back

[Zendra]

My Grandfather would have enjoyed that . He saw them lose 9-0  there in 1959 .

[demeant0r]

One stat I'd like to point out is: Adama now has five assists this season and we were on the winning side for each of the games where he had an assist. This man is a juggernaut.

[Lighthouse]

Please let's not aggregate after one win anymore than we should over criticise after one defeat. Palace good result tonight proves they are on a roll. Wolves to be fair are much improved and ur result tonight proved we are probably top ten. Many will think we deserve more but inconsistency is still there.

Muniz for me makes such a difference. His hold up and power led to the first goal. His physicality makes a difference yet he has the skill to make the little chip for the winner. Jimenez is a different type of player and him not taking the chance when he came on with admittedly being at an angle but with just the keeper to beat proves the difference between the two.

 A very good result after the weekend. But let's not over do the Europe talk.

[Count Flapula]

Have you not watched us this season? Weirdly these are the sort of games we get results from!

I seem to remember Wolves as being at their peak then. Billy Wright, Ron Flowers etc. They could be boring though.
