Apart from Tettey, Howson, Pilkington, Bennett, 3 of which would be in my first choice side.

Ok let me rephrase it, now BJ, Wolfie and snograss are back we seem devoid of being able to pass the ball in the midfield, all Bull and no finesse, im not saying any one player is to blame we look unbalanced again, this should be a serious wake up call now and show just how fragile our position is in this league, the teams below us are now hitting form and we have some seriously hard games coming up.

And i should mention we seriously do miss Howson

Of course our position is fragile, what else do you expect it to be?
 
Oh dear, Chicken Licken says the sky has fallen down! We just lost to a team we haven't beaten for years!, fortunately, next up is a team we have beaten at CR only a few months ago! FFS get a grip, it's a game of football!
 
I don't think we were awful, we have some weak areas that need to be addressed though:

Redmond - Pass the bloody ball!, cannot finish for toffee atm

Ruddy - seems like he's been eating space cakes, not sure how to address his recent issues(at least he didn't go for a wander this time)

Hoolahan - just not good enough(can't do anything to address that), not sure why he was brought on to replace Snodgrass, was it because of the earlier head injury? or just to protect him from further injury?


Also I think no Pilkington was a big factor in this match and Elmander getting injured , So what is up with Ruddy lately?, anyone know?

did i say i expected otherwise? was making the point of JUST how fragile it is, one game and results going against us has shown that.

My main point was is there any relevance now we have these players back from injury we look unbalanced again>? Lacked quality on the ball today, midfield a mess, sorry just saying what i see

I thought Ruddy was getting better over the last few matches so I can't help

I guess I took the juxtaposition of serious wake up call and fragility as we should simply do better.
 
I cannot believe the happy clappers on here. We have been utter **** for the whole of 2013 with a couple of exceptions, such as last day at Man City last season. Hughton is taking a group of players who on paper are easily good enough to survive in this league and somehow sucking the very will to live out of them.

The only place we are going with Hughton is back to the Championship. He just isn't up to the job.
 
Trust Hughton to ruin our ****ing Xmas. TWO points from Swansea, Sunderland and Fulham, disgraceful.

Hughton Out !

Well said VC <applause>

Kicks the ball at the back of one of his own players, fumbles ball in the box, gets run down by parker, he's great but not his usual self imo, still don't think we were woeful as some are saying, room for improvement though. Once we have some key players back from injury things will be back on track.

I will swear you have been losing your marbles in recent months Dave. The fact we have not beaten Fulham for many years is not really an argument as to why we lost to them today. They were not great but still better than us, that has nowt to do with the history of the fixture. This really was a missed opportunity to create a nice big gap to the bottom 3, and we cocked it right up.

As for the Man Utd game, I have us down for a 2-1 win but after watching that, I am very fearful of Saturday. Should we lose on Saturday, we face Palace away - where we also never win. Should we be happy if we end up in the bottom 3 on New Years day?
 
I really don't understand how some of you have the nerve and outright cheek to call yourselves supporters! Christ, there's more positivity on the Pink 'Un!
