Fulham 2-0 Bristol City (H) - Wed 27/08

Are we finally back to being able to score from corners???

[Hatch007]

I only noticed for the first time on Sunday that Raul wasn't wearing his protective head band and was going to post here about it.

Good sign that he's more confident now I guess

[Hatch007]

2-0, good finish from Raul, shocking corner from Reed but somehow Bristol give Raul all the time in the world to finish that

My initial thought also and was cursing as it left his foot until ...

But then upon watching the replay I'm not entirely sure that it wasn't planned.

Either way, it was shocking Sunday morning defending

Lecomte looking very impressive with his feet and distribution. Potentially even a step up from Leno. I want my keeper to be good with their hands and I doubt he will be better than Leno in that department but great to see we have definitely upgraded on a backup

Hmm.

Miles off but Lecomte you cant let that in

Will be interesting to see how ESR gets on fitness wise tonight, hopefully he makes it past 70 minutes tonight will be a big positive if he does.

Thankfull that was offside that goal, Keeper beaten at the near post through the legs

[Hatch007]

Come back Benda 👀🤣

Grimsby 1 Manure 0
Go Grimsby.

[Hatch007]

Our passing ffs 🤦

[KentFulham]

Silly yellow by Castagne, again yards off the pace and resorts to foul, not a great night for him. Passing getting sloppy, just need to slow down, pass it about and pick them off

Think this is harsh against Castagne. First instance he had moved over because play was on the left, and Adama then just didn't defend when play was switched. Second instance Reed lost the ball and Castagne decided to stop a potentially dangerous counter. In my opinion he's been just fine, but gets zero assistance from Adama (as per usual, unfortunately).

Amorim will be booted of they lose this... 

[Sting of the North]

Decent first half.

Some thoughts:
- Adama a mixed bag as per usual. Some good instinctive play, but several wasted opportunities, and no urgency to defend.
- Reed wants to do a lot, but lacks some technical ability and struggles a little with the pace of the game it seems.
- Sess and Raul have looked a little sloppy.
- Cuenca has been very good, as has TC.
- Wilson and ESR look lively.

Since our 2nd goal we have been poor. Passing has been woeful & I think we've decided game is over.

Hope ESR & Wilson see more of the ball next half & we up tempo a bit.

Interesting that ESR is on the left & Wilson down the middle.

Exactly. For that segment of Fulham fans who wonder why we don't see more of Adama, the first 45 minutes of this match illustrate why.

[KentFulham]

We certainly need to go out and get the 3rd now, letting them back in a bit

[KentFulham]

Someone stop Adama shooting! ESR waiting in the middle as well
