We have won six in a row, but last Saturday we could have dropped points

[The Swan]

Peterborough gave us a good game last Saturday and could have got some points from the game. Well done Fulham for getting another three points.
After the international break we play Barnsley at home.
I do remember the last time we played them we lost. That day it seemed as if Fulham took the game lightly..
Mr Woodrow scored from a penalty. I think we lost 1-3.
Lets hope all our players return from international break fit and ready to go.

I'm sure we lost 3-0 !

Correct it was a 3 nil defeat (15 Feb 2020)

[Carborundum]

Cold, wet, windy and miserable.  Only one team wanted it that day.  Not expecting an easy game.

Did they not do the double over us that season? :022:

They will probably have a new manager to impress on that day too.

I don't think Saturday's narrow win was a bad thing, though. Grinding out victories when not playing well is what gets you promoted.

They did. I took my neighbour who is a Tyke and he still reminds me on a regular basis. He isn't hopeful of a repeat but as the posh showed... Anything can happen and that is why we go.

Ex Barnsley manager Schopp has a reputation for developing young talent and so the club gave him from June to Nov to build a suceessful long term team = anyone else see the irony in this?

Although now you mention it I have noticed the big clubs being more long term and less trigger happy recently. Bruce was at Newcastle for ages, whilst arteta has had arsenal going from being pretty bad to now being in a position where they're competing for a top 4 spot again.. seems as if utd are doing the same with Solsjkaer too.

Yeah but we didn't thank God lol.

If I'd have passed my A levels, went to Uni, did some loads of other qualifications I could have discovered a way to feed the world but I didn't.

The big difference between all teams is a goal scorer a good keeper a good defence and good organisation. Poor teams can organise well on the odd occasion but cannot do it consistently. On their day any team can win

[Fulham Tup North]

We looked tired v Peterborough... we are lucky that we have such depth in our squad....
It might be a case of a bit more rotation after this break... 3 games in 7 days, especially when some of the squad would have played twice in the Internationals....

If we play like that against Barnsley we will lose... :drums:

You've got to give Peterborough some credit. Their work-rate and defensive set-up were very good, and we didn't quite have a cutting edge ... especially in the first-half.

[rebel]

We started with the possession stuff, then let them into the match, had we scored it would have been a different story. We looked tired, the more tired we looked the more they looked comfortable.

Even beating a team 7 - 0 takes bundles of energy.   

[RufusBrevettatemyhamster]

But we didn't. So it doesn't really matter.

The first game was the first game of the season at Barnsley, they had just got promotion and went the entire season unbeaten at home. Worst possible fixture as we had just been relegated and couldn't buy a win away, the place was packed and was electric, was a bang on home win. At our place we were very poor and they were up for it.
The Peterborough game was a one where they played well they were unlucky not to sore a goal but they seem to forget that the goalie with the most activity was theirs and he puled off a number of good saves. So if their shot against the post had gone in they would have scored, but it didn't and had ours gone in we would have won by more.
