It was not the amount of goals we conceded, it was the way we conceded them and just appeared to give up. We pay (towards) the players' wages and I feel the least we should expect is for them not to just roll over and die. Is it me or is it the minute (Wembley apart) that we take a particularly large following that the players just don't bother? This could coincide with it being a local derby. I am not proud of the fact I left early but after a busy week and a decision made to get home late/not see kids/rush to get to game mins before kick off,all I wanted was a night out watching my team play and i would have been ok if they were to lose 3-1-3-2, 4-2. I came away from the ground so depressed that going on sat is proving to be a struggle. After 40 odd years thought I had seen most things but Friday was a particular low point and probably in the top(as in bottom) 5 nights of supporting my beloved team. Most of us know more Fulham fans than we realise on such occasions. I don't do booing but I was as close as can be on Friday but decided to walk out instead, along with a few hundred others. Onwards and upwards, as they say.
That was pretty much how I felt mate. I looked forward to that so much and it was over so quickly. Story of my life!!!!!
Are we STILL having post mortems over this game? Time to forget and move on and look forward to the next few games. Harking back won't solve anything.
I really feel for you mate. I had the misfortune to get an excellent seat at last season's Palace v QPR match courtesy of one of my Palace supporting mates. What happened there was one of the most embarrassing experiences I can remember and I was hoping that Ramsey would eradicate that 'surrender mentality' with his close-season clear-out. Alas, it would appear we are just as fragile but at a lower level. I couldn't get a ticket for last Friday and I'm bloody thankful for that after witnessing our shambolic team commit 'footicide'. It really is so gut-wrenching to look at us now, after all the promises etc of the past four years and to see we are a damn sight worse with little prospect of challenging, not helped by injuries, poor form and inept tactics...
The only rational way to look at it is ....Sh1t happens, move on. It won't be the last tonking we receive this season, but there is every possibility that we'll tonk a few other teams on the way, 'tis the way of the league.....
I am on record as stating that I would never boo my team (and never have done). However, seeing them boo'd off after the first half against Blackburn, I did consider whether there might be a place for it after all! Probably still won't.
exactly Tram, and as I keeping banging on about, this is what makes the Championship such an exciting and unpredictable league.
One thing I should have added is were the likes of Furlong, Grego-Cox ,etc playing then it would have been much easier to accept the defeat, if not the performance. Given this was meant to be a transitional season, it's time to start picking Rangers players,not journeymen/loanees .
