AA's last stand

It didn't sound like AA's last stand at the CBS Arena today. When he came over to the fans at the end of the game he was greeted with chants of Arbeloa's black and white army. A week in football is a long time in football.

Well! I knew mammoths were around for a long time Woolly!
I was there being chased by a herd of Buffalo, a pack of Wolves and a Grizzly Bear with piles.
TBF if he had piles, that may explain why he was Grizzly !!

Blimey I never thought of that, I thought he was just grizzly because I beat him in a Yard of Ale contest.
Its not the man in the fight, it's the fight in the man.  🐘

Never forget your Roots.

When AA was given the job i was excited then season started enthusiasm dimmed for a couple of games but firmly back to believing in him,also taking Raul and wilson out,those that have joined managers journey think we are still stronger in the long term.
Keep the faith also when in 50 years of supporting Fulham has just never been just about the ups  but downs too.

So we put in another non scoring forward?

Good point. And Garcia only has one goal less than King. But he does cover back defensively, very much in the Willian style.
At some point this season, I hope there are a number of people who are embarrassed by their opinions of Garcia.
But I live in hope.


Thing is you could equally be embarrassed by your opinion by season end. The difference is I don't hope for your embarrassment. Always find it strange when posters with very strong opinions get so aggressive towards those who have a different pov.

The difference is, I'm hoping for our players to do well.  ::wink::

I doubt there is a single person on here hoping for our players to do anything other than well. The difference is that you don't like it when others voice criticism. You need to appreciate that it doesn't mean they want us to do poorly, just that they see some things they feel the need to be critical of.

On one thread there were some posters who were hoping we would lose at against Hull so AA would be shown the door. I've never understood why anyone would want their team to lose. I hope there will be some embarrassment among some supporters who were very critical of AA virtually from day one. Still a long way to go but I've always been confident AA will get it right as I am in Garcia. On wards and upwards.

I knew someone would bring that up. Almost everyone on that thread said they were conflicted (in so many words).

Fully agree (i know you mean critical, not conflicted). Now is not the time for nit picking.

Or he was asked to clean the hammy end bogs for Mr Woolly.

I feel like our defence has been the focus of the training sessions of late. The transition from defence to midfield is there but from midfield to the final third we are lacking. But thats where TC may be useful to be a starter to mix it up a bit, put his foot on the ball and pick the pass. It can and will be resolved with a few more training sessions AA style. We have come on leaps and bounds since that fateful day in Suffolk and I have to applaud AA for realising his mistakes. I was one of those that was calling for him to go after that game but am happy to give him more time after the progress I have seen. COYW
