The new dawn or our worst nightmare

[MickTheBeard]

This process of youth and scouting should have been done when they took over nearly 20 years ago,and I,m not so sure our lunatic of Dof is capable of running the show.Just imagine if the young players don't gel straight away and we get relegated.Yes lukic and dieppe needed changing age and becoming free agents no return on our investment that is where the Dof should have kicked in but where was he no where near Motspur park.I bet he has mark maunders to give him a lift in case he gets lost.I hope for our sake for the long suffering fans from the 50s we have not had success where palace have recently.Just hope the Spaniards maybe 3 no play like their compatriots in the World Cup did notice all three are 5/9 to 5/10 watch corners and set plays,remember tony if we fail don't say that crap after you sign a player com on fulham,this is your last chance to grow a pair.

I agree with you, Mick; it's a new dawn.

Come on Fulham 

[hovewhite]

A new and welcome dawn for the season round the corner.

[Deadcowboys]

Mick does make a good point in as much that we are becoming a relatively small team. Add to that, possibly our tallest player Berge can't head the ball. Set pieces will be more difficult to defend this year even if we do bring in a monster centre half. Neither Jimenez previously nor Muniz now compare to Mitro's defensive work.

[Hatch007]

Let's not concede any corners nor free kicks in our defensive third. Simples 🤭

[Fernhurst]

I do worry our tiny (but skilful) newbies will be bullied out of midfield. We will very shortly discover!
Last night I watched a very skilful Hearts side knock the ball about in midfield before getting thumped 6-1 by our ex managers new side Benfica!!

[The Old Count]

I could get on with Mick's posts a bit more if they didn't include an unpleasant comment about TK every time.

[Woolly Mammoth]

These new signings are too
Lightweight and will be found out.
As for TK, he is the weakest link.
If he wasn't his father's son he would have been sacked ages ago.

Our so called lunatic DOF just might of made the signing of the century

I remain extremely optimistic

Yeah that's why they were playing for Real Madrid, Gonzalo getting picked over Mbappe

And That's why we have become a steady mid/top half team over the past few seasons then ?

It's so easy to judge and slag off others, maybe just maybe Shahid is proud of what his son has accomplished at FFC

I'm sure he is & should be. But the interesting bit of Mick's post was the lack of size. A team containing say Garcia, Kevin, Bobb, ESR & King would struggle at corners or throw-ins/free kicks around the box. Last season I think Arsenal regularly played with 7/8 6' or over players. They scored plenty from set pieces despite cheating. Chelsea appear to have 18 such players in their bloated squad & we have just sold our biggest & best defender. We really could do with a Roger Brown sized centre half with pace.

Say what you like they are still too lightweight. May get away with it playing in Spain, but the physicality and mentality in the English Leagues is a lot different and far more games, especially for younger players, yes some may embrace it but others will not.

2.
Depends what you mean by steady, empty trophy cabinet yes that's steady.

3,
Mid table mediocrity yeah that's steady.

3.
Not winning the FA Cup or the League Cup after all these years as the oldest club in London yep that's steady.

Even Wimbledon won the FA Cup beating Liverpool.
Even Wigan Athletic won the League Cup beating Manchester City.

4.
 I am not slagging him off I am stating a fact, nepotism never works when the individual in question is neither qualified or capable of performing in a job that is third choice behind the Crash helmet and padded shoulders spectacle and men in tights.
He deserves all the stick he gets.

So whether you or anyone else likes it or not I shall continue to voice my opinion, so get use to it.

Firstly, it's probably unlikely that those Fulham players you picked would all be on the pitch together. 
Garcia is physical and a 6 footer.
Arsenal, for their tall back 4 (not including Raya who is a small keeper) also played with this lot all under 6 foot: Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus, Lewis-Skelly, Eze, Zubimendi (and probably more). They had a few taller players (Gykores and Havertz) but definitely not a huge team at all.

I think you just have a thing for men in tights,

Personally I think Tony's doing a decent job and made some great signings over the years, developing Fulham a good squad, not bad for an "American"
Let's face it Fulham are an "American" owned team at the end of the day

 A new Dawn you say, well I have always got up at the crack of Dawn
Which has nothing to do with my Girlfriend Dawn, that's just a coincidence.

Nice one Woolly, and i agree with all your points.

Garcia lightweight? Bloke is like a rugby player.
Hilarious and slightly embarrassing stereotype.

He may be. but we're going to need more like him to punch our weight.
