Fulham still rebuilding, says manager Kit Symons

Fulham manager Kit Symons has admitted his side are still a work in progress after a recent dip in form.
After taking charge in September, he guided the Whites from bottom of the Championship to a place in mid-table.
However, they have lost three of their last four league games and are now only five points above the relegation zone.
"Confidence is still quite fragile. There is a lot of work still to be done and that is clear for everyone to see," Symons told BBC London 94.9.
Fulham had only taken one point from the previous seven games, when Symons took charge on an interim basis following the sacking of Felix Magath.
The 43-year-old won five of his first nine games in charge and was confirmed as manager in October on a deal until the summer of 2016.
"When I first took over it was about steadying the ship, galvanising and getting everything together," Symons said.
"We did that and that went quite well. It is about rebuilding now and rebuilding is the tough bit, given where we had to come from. We need to get on with it and do better, without a doubt."
The west London club were 14th in the table, and 11 points above the bottom three, after beating Nottingham Forest last month, but they have dropped to 19th after taking just one point from the last 12.
"We've always been closer to the bottom than we have to the top at any stage since I took over," the former Wales international added.
"We are in a bit of a scrap at the moment and we need to roll our sleeves up and fight.
"When things start going against us, I think collectively we need to get together, calm down, still look to get on the ball and pass it in the right areas of the pitch - without giving it away stupidly."

Still rebuilding? No what he really means is they laid a few bricks and then went off for a tea break. We do seem to be run by cowboy builders.

I don't think rebuilding is the right word........

Lets just say his tactics are basic. I wish Kit well, but he needs help.

DOOMED !!!!

He is right. Given our position before January it was never likely that we were going to go on a spending spree to get Kit the players he needs. Survive this season get the right players in the summer, keep Kit at the helm and give promotion as real push.

How do you start rebuilding if your foundations are suspect? The honeymoon period for KS should be deemed over, our present run of results could end up as bad as the FM start to the season, or worse!!

with 3 more players out in the last week we are not even on solid foundations ,the opposite in fact.

Removing Fazlic was a bit like taking the top tile off of a Jenga Tower

Being rebuilt by someone without any experience in management.  Great plan!

Brilliant!

The team is building at his expense.

Time to forget what happened in the first seven games and to put the thoughts of rebuilding and development on the back burner for a while. Full concentration must now be on getting five wins or 15 points from the next 15 matches.

[Northern Cottager]

How are we rebuilding? We've added no quality since he took over and released some promising players as well as tried and failed with his formations. It's a case of changed something now stood still/going slowly backwards again.

Ha! Ha!

Brilliant game, especially if you are having a few drinks & or are on blood pressure tabs!

Once played a version of it in a Fleece & Furkin Pub - with real bricks

It didn't hurt (having already consumed a few pints of Badgers Bottom or some such ) until I woke the following morning!

So yes, to get to the point, removing the top (real) brick or the wooden brick if you prefer is of course the easy option, the least likely to risk losing you the game & in the end pretty unadventurous or exciting

So come on Kit, forget the rebuild for the moment & focus on getting a few results pal - ASAP pleez!

COYW!

Well I was trying, but it has seemed to anger others...
