    So all


    I saw a lot of negativity over the last 2 weeks. I have been convinced after the Arsenal win that our joker, super Ralph would keep us up.

    There seems to have many doubters, with reasons in not buying players in January, selling Gabbi etc.

    But, when you distil it down, when we did we last make a good January signing ( oh shiy it was Gabbi - shoot myself in tbr foot).

    I think we all need to be a little braver.we have a top top manager, probably the best we have had since Lawrie Mac (who). As soon as a couple of games goes against him, doubt sets in why?

    He is brave. He knows what he wants. There we be ups and downs. He will keep us up and will develop the team.

    Just imagine Tom's face when Jack S lift the FA cup in ,2021

    Need at least 10 points from 10 to finish. Ideally 12 from 10. Should be doable, but we still can't afford many down performances; we have some distance yet from here to there.

    Well tbf, tonight’s catastrophic defensive blunder came from Vestergaard losing his man on the edge of the box, then falling over, about 15 minutes in to the first half. But Fulham failed to take advantage.

    Though it's unfortunately notable that we had just the one catastrophic defensive blunder, rather than our usual three or four.

    I agree, even without the ball, when we pressed them in their own half they never looked comfortable. As soon as we gave them space the game changed.

    Hard work pressing for 90 though

    I have to say, James Ward-Prowse was bloody fantastic tonight.

    I have been critical in the past, and he needs to keep this up long term, but boy was he good tonight.

    Yep, tenf to agree he has never lived up to the hype, but now beginning to get those scruffy tap on that make a difference. Really hope thst he can be the player we all want him to be

    I have been critical over the last few years that he has not stepped up .......but perhaps!

    Oi, you can't take all the credit. Your son-in-law earned us one goal, but my gong-thwacking got us the second.

    We should be first on, why have they put these other games in front of us. Perhaps they are still splicing our many highlights? <laugh>
    Seriously though, get to our game already!

    Can't be arsed with a long post so a few points...

    - Maya in for Jack and a clean sheet... Coincidence? <whistle>

    - Never really felt in any trouble in that second half as didn't feel they really put us under any sustained pressure, though they had a couple half chances so I'm glad Mitro didn't bring his shooting boots.

    - Ref was appalling, again.

    - Atmosphere best I've heard in a loooooong time, especially the first half and even before the goal.

    - I find it hard to believe Huddersfield are worse than Fulham.

    Roll on Old Trafford <diva>

    Red and white barmy army!
