No crude comments, no self ego massaging and no swearing? Added to a leveled out opinion? Alright! What have you done with 'BigGun'?
I thought that Fulham came for the draw and we didn't quite have enough upfront to break them down. Poor defending led to the goal but apart from that corner, Fulham didn't trouble us at any other point in the game. If a team comes to the SOL to play football I'm confident we will be scoring a fair few goals but for now, if teams come for the draw and sit with 10 men behind the ball we will be in a constant struggle to break them down. I'm looking forward to the so called big clubs coming to the SOL this season as I think our style of play is more likely to be successful against teams that leave space. Sessegnon was marked out of the game against Fulham and as a result we never really got going as a team. Jol got his tactics perfect where nullifying Sessegnon is concerned. I'd prefer to see JOS play the simply ball to Cabral instead of launching it forward, he isn't Glen Hoddle and needs to focus on short distribution and let the midfielders do the talking. I think we will do very well away from home this season as we will be taking the game to home teams, home teams will be coming forward and I beleive we have the players to cause mischief away from home. Dissapointing result but very encouraging performance with exception to Sessegnon, who was poor and had no answer to Fulhams strategy.
