    So we still need a left back, we still need another winger and by looks of it we need a proper central midfielder!

    Rafa get the cheque book out <laugh>

    They could catch the ball today and it wouldn't be a penalty <laugh>

    Not an excuse though. They even out and we haven't been good enough today. The Fulham curse continues!

    Very poor tonight. Perez, Colback, Dummett were a waste of space. Like Hayden and Ritchie and Sels looks good on crosses and distribution.

    And there we are. Poor poor performance. But I'm not going to start crucifying players yet. A big wake up call though.

    Diame is going to make a big difference and I can see Clark easily replacing Dummett. I'd fine both Hanley and Janmaat for absolute stupid bookings or was Janmaat wanting sent off so he could go and get his move completed.

    That will go down and were still better than us. Dummett is a joke of a defender.

    Players looked like they lacked sharpness; the first touches from a lot of the players were bloody awful. It wasn't a good performance but even still, on another day we could have had 2 pens and Ritchie might have put his chance away. Just nothing went our way today. Like I said earlier in the thread, win, lose or draw we shouldn't get carried away with the result.

    I'd like to see Shelvey in for Colback in the next game, and Aarons in for Anita. We are definitely crying out for a creative, pacey winger who will make things happen, but I already knew that before today. I think we'll be buying another striker as well. Only players I can give any real credit to today were Ritchie (2nd half when he played on the right) and Hayden who was steady in the middle.

    The new Fulham RB looked excellent, bar that early yellow card!

    He did. He had some great touches. Him and Aluko looked like the best players on the pitch.

    We looked on the road the same we looked the past 3 seasons roughly. Toothless. No energy, no confidence, no leadership anywhere on the pitch. Just knocking it around aimlessly, huffing and puffing with very little to show for. We need to buy a senior striker. I like Perez but he's not the guy. I like Mitro too but not sure he's the guy either. Perez, Armstrong, Gayle, they're all supporting strikers in my book. We need a competent powerful target man.

    Yes Charlie Austin was the guy we should have gotten.

    Unbeaten run lasted 0 games.
    Told you that this division is a proper test, you laughed and some were saying you would go unbeaten.
    To quote Farrage... Well ur not laughing now.
