Based on today's performance and the way the goals came about as well as the team selection I am struggling to see where the reports about falling out between Jol and players come from! Super performance that made QPR look like a championship team. When we were in the mood to push forward it was evident that the team had ideas and tempo. Come on Fulham!
I know the "It's only one game" brigade will be in shortly, but this is surely (more) hard evidence that things are starting to come together for us.
Probably you are right Bidley but... It's not only one game, it's 4 games in a row. Man City, WBA, Odense and now QPR. Things are looking good. And we have a bench to choose from!
Yes, today I was happy that any of our outfield substitutes could be useful in changing tactics/improving if someone was off form, how many times in the last few years could we say that ? We now have a squad.
Right on Tosh - We have a squad and team spirit. To play the way we did today is a credit to Mr Jol and hard work by the squad on the training ground.
Jol was asked about player unrest in the post-game interview Sunday. He said players talk and every player has an agent, so this kind of information is bound to come out. Bobby was the one complaining - that came out in a different story last week. Zamora's a player and he wants to play every day, but he was left out against Odense Thursday and probably didn't appreciate it. I think Jol is doing the right thing. There are a few player who are young enough or fit enough to play two games a week: Schwartzer, Sidwell, Dempsey, Hangeland, Baird, Murphy, Dembele, Senderos. But there are players who, either because of age (Johnson, Riise, perhaps Hughes) or because of the demands of the phyisical demands of the position (Duff, Zamora) should be playing just once a week. Already this summer, I've seem Bobby limping through games. He's a precious resources, and I'd rather see him playing EPL games only if possible.
We have got to keep Bobby Zee unhappy, he plays better As for giving AJ a new contract, no chance, not while he's playing so well. Surely there must be somewhere in the world where we can find a specialist to rejuvenate Danny Murphy's legs.
