Not a big fan of Bryan today. At big fault for the goal (with MLM), and very suspect positioning, which he thankfully saved with several good last minute blocks. Average at best going forward.

Liked Knockeart's sub appearance. Mawson is healthy and had a decent game. Odoi also decent. Ayité lively, and TC fairly good second half (but bad first half). Kamara was Kamara (for good and bad) and I don't think anyone enjoys defending against him.

Out of interest, how is the goal MLM's fault when he was down injured owing to Woodrow undercutting him when he jumped for a header?

Bryan was our best player for me. Yes he made a bad error but he got lots of tackles in, including an excellent last ditch tackle. Betts shouldn't have been beaten at his near post.

Brentford lost as well I think. A few in the door and a bit of time to get going and I reckon we'll be alright, just need to temper expectations a bit

Unnecessary challenge, and in my book never a foul on Woodrow. MLM took himself out of play, and gave Barnsley the opportunity to attack an unorganized defence.

So you're saying a CB shouldn't challenge for the ball when it's pumped forward towards our defence on the off chance they get injured? Right then

This is what I thought.

Hey...let's keep this thread about the positives though.

Mawson played a full 90 minutes.  (I also think Mawson would have played that same long ball that injured MLM much differently than he did)

[SP]

Only positive is that I decided not to attend the match.

[Russianrob]

Mitro's on fire,well today he bearly flickered which is more than we can say about the majority of other Fulham players.

[andyk]

Newcastle lost their first two games a couple of seasons ago  then they waltzed into the Prem. 
That's all I can think of, it is valid until our 3rd match.

[PRODAJEE]

Parker looked slick, that's a positive

[General]

Simply put - wtf is a gk doing getting beaten at his near post?! It didn't even seem to be that intense a shot.

[Artful Dodger]

Positives..... we're only 3 points off the play offs!

[WindyCity]

Really hard for me to find any positives at all after a game as played today.  A newly promoted team, full of youngsters (I saw a post earlier, all under 24?) totally outplayed and outclassed FFC.  And lucky the score was only 1 nil, could have been worse.  Very disappointing start to the new season........

[Robbie]

Positives -  I stayed at home, I couldn't get FFTV to work.

[Statto]

Surely there is a level we could sink to where Shahid Khan would say sorry Tony, I know you're my son but this is just ridiculous, I've got to replace you for your own good. If today moved us a step closer to that level then that would be some consolation.

[Penfold]

Same here. The main weakness in the squad has still not been addressed. Hopefully, some defenders incoming, plus a decent midfield player before Thursday.

No, that's not what I am saying. This was not a general statement on how I believe that CBS should play. Maybe try reading it again?

[filham]

An extra top class defender before deadline day is no longer a priority as we have a greater need for a strong man in midfield.
