Fulham v Reading match thread

[Bassey the warrior]

Personally I think Wigan will go down. They are good going forward but woeful defensively. I like them so it's a shame.

[jarv]

oh dear oh dear. I am so glad I didn't watch a stream (based on comments here). Norwich v Villa was on tv here. If we had to play Villa, they would have scored 6 against Fulham today. pace, pace and more pace. I guessed it might be a better option.

The discussions about Jol will start tonight. I doubted him in the beginning, warmed to him a bit but really doubting due to tactics of last 2 months.

[Lighthouse]

We must play Rodders up front alongside Berbatov as I have wanted for some time. He missed a few was unlucky for a few. But we created more chances with a more attacking formation. Playing that starting line up against Reading is disgraceful. Jol tried to change it but our awful defending let us all down. But PLEASE JOL PLAY TO WIN AND AN ATTACKING FORMATION.

YOU ARE KILLING US.

This day couldn't be going worse. except when Newcastle get a late winner.

I really hoped I could come and say "I told you so" for defending Jol, but this is bad.

One game doesn't make Jol a bad manager. All in all he's done more good than bad.

One game? How about the last 4?

We are heading for our worst league finish since the great escape...how is that doing more good than bad?!

[Enter the Frei]

just saw the penalty.  That was NOT a PK.  The refs again.

It was I think but Kelly fouled Berba as well. We deserved a point on chances alone.

going forward I'd say we deserved something but when you defend like we did I struggle to justify complaining about decisions or bad luck.

One point from 18.  If that isn't relegation form, what is?

25 from 105, perhaps

[beijing ben]

We are very much still in a relegation fight, i don't understand why people think we're safe

I *think* with the fixture list we can't go down as teams below us are playing each other etc.

I think you are wrong mate. We could go into the last match of the season in 18th place i believe

Shows how important this game was, this was our best opportunity to get some points and quash the relegation fears. Now we have some hard work ahead

It would be fulhamish of us to be in 18th for the last game and beating Swansea to stay up...

[Ordar]

I honestly think, looking at the other teams fixtures, that if we dont get another point, we could be in serious trouble.

All the teams below us have enough winnable points in their remaining games to overtake us

[Neil D]

Before this match, you couldn't get serious odds on Fulham being relegated.  Now you can.  33-1 with W Hill, if you're interested...

[bill taylors apprentice]

The first rule of the PL is make yourself hard to beat by defending collectively as a team...... and as a rule we do not.

[Fulham1959]

We are in extreme danger.

I am, will soften the blow

[Baider]

We are in AWFUL form as well, 4 losses on the bounce, 3 of them at home. The teams below are all now starting to pick points up. Im seriously concerned...

[ron]

Just got in to read the result. Why am I surprised at the score? This is always on the cards with the teams we should make mincemeat of.

Dreadful, just dreadful.

[grandad]

I fancy Norwich to go down on 39 points with us in 16th on 40 points with Villa in 17th on goal dif. One point more would put us in 13th.

[Fulham1959]

According to the Fulham FC website, today's was an official charity match.

Did we have to take it so literally ?

[Danitar]

I would live to hear what jol has to say after this awful game
