    I’m sorry but that performance was piss poor. No desire until the 85th minute against a team that couldn’t be much more arsed than us.
    7 points from last 42
    1 win since 13/12/20
    9 losses in last 14 games

    Since Liverpool win
    8 losses from 9 games
    5 scored
    25 conceded.

    Is there any other manager that would get the undying love Ralph gets here?

    I’m going to say it, if we lose against Sheffield Utd on Saturday, does he deserve to stay in a job?

    We have an expression up here in Glasgow which perfectly describes our play in the attacking third - slower than a week in the jail. It's so obvious from the armchair eh?

    On another note, props to Armstrong for a great CM display (including a classic Romeuesque yellow card) and Ings is ****ed. Poor baatard has the long Covid without a shadow of a doubt.

    Not impressed with Ralph tonight. He really should have brought Jankewitz on and pushed Armstrong further forward. Not a difficult tactical change to make. He just made like for like changes and left Calamity Nathan on. Tella looked bright but Redmond is just a waste of money at the moment.

    1point in 27 says it all. Just clueless anywhere near goal against a barely average team. Occasional moment or two across 93 min simply not good enough. We've still got opportunities though to pull out of this long car crash, just!

    Well we can. It won’t be good if we fail to beat them, but it still doesn’t relegate us.

    I'm not saying it does but for confidence reasons it's a must win.

    Normally I would agree, but I think things have got too bad now, we need our strongest team for Sheff Utd.

    I have officially lost all interest in this season.

    Just checked back to see the result.

    Not even going to get vaguely upset.

    It’s only a game. A **** game. That we are currently **** at.

    More things in life to worry/think/get upset about.

    We should be safe, but hey ho, we may not. Not even going to try to defend us, the doom merchants have us relegated after 2 games and the positivies normally like me have us winning every game.

    If we go down, we’ll set another record, if we stay up we won’t.

    So over this season.

    Sheffield must think they've got a good chance and a couple of ex-players to make a point too.

    Disagree. We need our strongest team for Bournemouth.

    Tonight hasn't changed anything, we're still not going down.

    Not pretty stats.

    This is the first time I have felt dejected on the run. In other games there were if's and buts. Tonight was just very poor against a team who were at strolling pace

    Quite funny that after another 90 mins for Forster we still have no idea if he is any good again <laugh>

    Something small to try to grasp on to. Fulham's next three games are Tottenham, Liverpool and Man City.

    There is an element to the set up, but o it in that teams no what we want to do now.

    our problem is we don’t have enough of our best players available. We knew this was possible at the start of the season when we knew we had a thin squad and no money.

    people can rant and rave all they like, but I wouldn’t expect anything else until the numbers come back. If they don’t, then hold on tight.

    I said a while back, rest people who need a rest and try to keep everyone fit for the Sheff utd, the cup, Fulham, baggies, Burnley, etc.....

    But we need to win before the Bournemouth game, just for confidence if nothing else. Going into that game without a win in **** knows how long will not be good.
