    That was one of the worst performances I've seen in a while. I'm not sure there was a plan - looked like a load of individuals cobbled together for a Sunday morning hoofball game. Heaven knows what they do in training.

    Midfield has no control on the game what so ever. Every player, without exception was not just poor, they were p*** poor.

    If we go down and play like that then we'll struggle in League 1. At the moment I feel it's all there for Millwall. I don't see many more points for us after tonight, even at Blackpool.

    The season ticket sales pitch at half time was embarrassing I thought, trying too hard to be subtle.

    You always hope that in the face of adversity, your team will pull together and develop something of a siege mentality. That hasn't happened at all and our season is just drifting. We are very unlikely to go down, but the fact we still could is hard to take.

    The primary blame for our lack of strength of character lies with the manager and the captain. Both of them are people you'd think would be good leaders, but the lack of leadership throughout our club is stark and has to be addressed urgently.

    The team yesterday had 4 players on loan, Ruiz who doesn't want to be here plus Tunnicliffe who seems that staying on his feet is something that never mastered as a kid. Given that our manager said that there will be a major overhaul, no wonder there is no motivation...

    On the bench you had the likes of Hugo and Hoogland both without a contract at the end of the season.

    Unfortunately the same recipe for disaster as last 2 seasons... Players on loan who don't care. A manager that plays to the hands of the opposition and there you go...

    But we are Fulham and nothing will surprise me if we go and win a few games...

    Must agree with the above, absolutely nothing going for us, who to blame no1 the manager
    clueless, yet another goal from a corner, keeper no command of his area once again.
    And what is this strange affiliation with Kit and Tunicliffe.
    Many of those around me are holding fire on season ticket renewal, myself included.
    Can we be relegated, yes we certainly can, remainder of matches 0 POINTS ?

    Madness, I can't honestly see us picking up any more points this season. Last night was dreadful. Such a poor performance, it was embarrassing. Rotherham should have been 3 up inside the first 29 had it not been for some luck and a great save. I actually think Betts has played well all in all. If the back four was better we wouldn't concede so many but he's saved us for sure . Rotherham pressed, harried and played with purpose. We did the opposite.

    Those of you who think we are safe please think again. We aren't.

    Blackpools pitch isn't the kind where you can play possession football, so I can see that being the same type of game as last night, just launching the ball up to Smith, hit and hope. Funnily I can see us playing better against Boro and Norwich, let's hope we get a few performances like the Derby home game.
    Considering last night we had more senior players in the team, the comments from Symons about being nervous shows he hasn't done a good job at man management. Not to worry with great wisdom Kit unttered the words after last nights game “There’s still a bit to do,” said Symons. “We’re limping closer.

    Mourinho was at the game last night, could Khan be tapping him up?:biggrin:

    Perhaps Mourinho is preparing a summer bid for Ryan Tunnicliffe. We'd reluctantly take £25m for him I suppose.
