[Archived] Fulham - Sunday 13Th September

[Stuart]

We are seriously going to have stats of Keanesque proportions today. How many times have we been in the opposition box? Whilst the players continue to look disorganised and weak in defence but throw the kitchen sink at it (started early today) we will simply be forced to repeat this week after week after week.

It's no good creating chance after chance and still losing.

What I'm still not sure about is: are these players good enough or not? My gut tells me that given a proper game plan to work to, and proper motivation, they are.

It's probably going to take the players visibly demonstrating that they are no longer playing for the manager - like the time under Ince - before there is any change. But they seem to be very much in the comfort zone and will carry on regardless.

Too good to go down, but probably will.

Can't help but think we've had our chances, and as usual blown them.

Interwsting Rhodes cant score, perhaps he doesn't want to. Will Duffy ever get a header on target. And will we ever not send in corners and throw ins to Duffy.

Penalty!

[DE.]

Miss this and I give up.

Fulham putting in a Boyweresque 2nd half performance so far of basically giving up any attacking intentions.

All over them. This is basically the WORST ever thing that could have happened today a (likely) defeat yet a performance that's not as bad as the score suggests and that gives GG another 10 excuses.

This.

Fans are living in a dream world if they think we can't do better than this. Hypothetically if someone like Dyche was in charge at Rovers at the start of the season there is no way we would be 22nd in the league right now after 6 games.

[Blue Cabbage]

Pen for Rovers

1-2

[Husky]

Deffo penalty.

We all know what the Fulham fans must feel like. They've done exactly what we've done under Bowyer countless times.

There for the taking.............

[cesus]

Hanley won't see out the 90

[G Somerset Rover]

Come on boys, let's not take our foot off the gas.

[Darwen Rover 007]

Same old story we only start playing when we are behind

[Tom]

Calmly taken need to keep our heads and we can win this.

[chaddyrovers]

Koita should have started

OK, I packed in watching it at half time.

I might be about to miss the comeback of all comebacks but enjoying my watermelon on the terrace says I am safe from that risk.

Some observations:

- both goals scored by unmarked players in the centre of goal

- we cannot clear our lines

- passing is pedestrian because players are unsure where their colleagues are

- Spurr, what a total liability

- More than 50% of Spurr's long throws result in the ball being in the Rovers' penalty area within ten seconds.

Bowyer is managing us to relegation.

I see there are 21 replies since I started typing. I guess we must have scored...
