    Goals win games and we can't score enough of them because we can hardly shoot and when we do we miss the ****ing target, why the **** we do all those tippy tappy passes around the 18yard box just to lose the ball, I'm baffled, there's only Gnonto who can play that way, Harrison is ****ing shocking does he look up when he goes on a run? We're ****ed im not looking forward to Saturdays game, ill be getting pissed in Dublin thank ****

    Koch and Wober are starting to build a good partnership. Ayling is on form, Firpo is starting to look steady.

    Adams in front of them is a first name down and I saw enough of Rutter tonight to see he has something about him. I thought Roca was good today too, the new coach doesn’t need to do too much more

    Rutter could and should have had two goals tonight, cruelly denied by the ref and woodwork

    Effortwise I think is commendable but that isn't going to keep us up.

    Stop all the ****ing around the back just stop doing it. ****ing how many times did we put ourselves under pressure from that dumb arse goal kick routine and yet they kept doing....****ing dense or what.

    Can't string more than 3 passes together always giving it away in the worst place - ****ing Adams!!! Don't think much of Mc whats his name. No control of the ball. Aronson no better just falls over. Roca just anonymous.

    We paid a record amount for a future prospect - why???? We are in dire straights now we needed somebody who can ****ing score. Bamford is shot, Harrison is a pansy and next to useless.

    Two quality I repeat quality strikes from Fulham compared to our shoddy attempts on goal. How many times did we pass the buck when in a shooting position.....****ing hit the ball towards the goal you **** wits and hit it ****ing hard.

    Defensive clearances were pathetic just finding a Fulham player everytime.

    It is going to take one hell of bit of luck to stay up that is for sure.

    Rutter is hopeless and roca is no free kick tacker.

    For me, I honestly see an improvement in the shape and even defending. They were still two wonder strikes tonight I’m still more confident today than I was under Jesse

    I don’t think Gracia has quite worked out his best 11 and he’s trying to tweak things in order to get the best out of what he has.

    Our problem is the age and rawness of Summerville, Gnonto and Rutter, we’re crying out for the experience but the two who have it Bamford and Harrison are not good enough

    It will be interesting when Rodrigo is back, I’m not convinced on McKennie either

    Thought it was a foul myself. Right in front of the ref…. sometimes you get away with them.

    Nothing wrong with how we played tonight. You can’t coach shooting, or defensive howlers. It’s the story of the season… we’re good between the two boxes but not in the two boxes.

    Right night all, bad result but I still think we were far the better team, we’ll avoid relegation

    One thing's for sure over the last 2 games - McKennie is no AM - not when you're terrified to shoot.

    How can you call yourself a footballer and be afraid to shoot!!! It is beyond me.

    We never replaced Pablo, a calm head in AM who can see a pass.

    It was a Fulham team with 7 changes.

    genuine question rich… I know you didn’t like the football or the manager… but parking that - in terms of dominating play and chances created - did you think we were the better team at Villa, at forest, and at home to West Ham and Brentford?

    How could anyone with a clue about football , assemble a 25 man squad where not one of them can actually kick a ball and hit the target

    Asked about Rutter replacing Bamford and how did he do Gracia replied:

    “I think he can play better as a second forward or with two, in my opinion that’s the best position for Georginio. In this game we didn’t have for example other players for centre-back, we didn’t have other player for striker and we tried to manage as well as possible.”

    Asked about missed chances how do we change it he said “we change it on the training ground, more composure in front of goal”.

    Asked about three players in the middle he replied “I think it’s an option. We have to manage and when we need it, we can do it because all of them have the quality in my opinion to do it really well and give us in some games more compactness. It’s one good option for us.
