If we cant beat Ipswich....

[jarv]

who can we beat?

[ffc73]

Leicester for a start

[Cobh Fulham Fan]

we can beat the pessimists.

have a little faith lad!

[Sgt Fulham]

Extremely arrogant. Also, first day watching Premier League?

[jayffc]

Erm I dunnno... Leicester?

I'm sure people said the same about us when we finished 10th in our first season back

Behave man, we drew away, sometimes ya lose points to smaller clubs and pick em up against bigger ones across a season. It happens

[Lighthouse]

All the promoted sides look good this season. I would have thought Ipswich had proved themselves playing Man City and Liverpool and looking good in those matches.

So an away point I would have taken before the game. Especially as we didn't play that well. Football isn't a computer game. I think it will be Ipswich who will feel more nervous knowing they thought their season started with us. Yet couldn't win.

Jay it's still a draw, also 2 of the promoted sides faced unbeaten saints to come. IPSWICH they will be the best of the promoted sides and a point at there gaff to boot. So look up be positive.

Agree with everything in your comment Lighthouse with one exception,

'Football isn't a computer game'

Have you ever played football manager? Little clubs beating big clubs happens as often, maybe more often than in the real world

I know it is a negative comment and I always hope for a good Fulham performance. However, I am struggling to watch any premier league games now...  BORING  sideways and backwards tippy tappy football.  perhaps introduce no more passing backwards I know that sounds silly but the game needs a wake up call.  I just switched off w.ham v man city, awful football.  Not one decent tackle or defence splitting pass in 60 minutes of football.

As for the referees, dont get me started on them.  I played for many years and was a ref for over 10. What I see today is making me walk away from football and as for the ticket prices....eeek. I refuse to pay them to be bored to death.

I  know there will be many on here who think I am nuts, but having followed Fulham since 1960 I can only ask the questions, who is nuts enough to pay these prices today.  better watching your local non league team or even the park footballing lads.

Sir
I was being positive
Might wanna re read me post 😂

First line was being sarcastic cos the op acted like we haven't already won a game this season

[Hatch007]

By you're reasoning, Jarv, title-chasing Arsenal fans must be suicidal tonight.

Some of the complete over reactions on this board beggar belief 🤦�♂️

Ipswich are going to be a pain to beat at home this season. If Leicester end up with a point deduction, I favor them to finish in 17th place. Everton look in trouble to me.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Early days one and all, and we have already accumulated 4 precious points, and 2 of our 3 matches have been away.
So relax and think about all those clean sheets we are going to muster, and whilst your doing that think about all the goals we are going to score from an abundance of players in various positions.
Subject of course to player injury, illness, loss of form, possible suspensions and referees decisions.
Which all adds up to an obstacle course to negotiate for the next 9 months.
Providing a cocktail of Joy, heartache, laughter, anxiety, celebration and despair.

[KJS]

who can we beat?

We couldn't beat Burnley last season but we did OK FFS!!!!

[WindyCity]

Ipswich are no mugs.  The seemed a much better team than the team we did beat, Leicester.  This is a tough league, every game is a challenge.  I'm happy with the away point v Ipswich.  I think Ipswich might be one of the promoted survivors this season.  Not saying they are world beaters, but getting the away point was a good result, could have left that game with nothing.

Exactly Hatch. Just because Ipswich are a promoted team we don't have the automatic right to go to their place and win. I watched the game and they played well, we didn't take our chances...We go again against West Ham, who I'm sure will be fired up after their home defeat to City yesterday.

[AnotherVicHalomLoveChild]

It is disappointing
However, we have no automatic right to beat any Premiership team
If we had scored a goal like theirs we would have been ecstatic
We didn't but responded well enough
We have late additions to our squad, not yet fully blooded
The transfer window and timings causes such havoc
We need some time to see how the new additions settle in, what they have to offer and whether they perform to expectations
Then tge dreaded January window looms!

[cwindsor]

And if Chelsea can't beat Palace... ?

That might make us the best Premier League team in SW6.

Another good post imo. January is indeed a worry, especially with regards to Robinson... thought he had another excellent game yesterday.

[McBrideOfFrankenstein]

All the promoted sides look good this season.

Saints look pretty terrible to be fair
