[Archived] Fulham On Saturday 27Th August

[Jock]

Stats read that Fulham scored one more than Rovers.

Table reads that Rovers are bottom.

[Mike E]

To SKHT and ACOB, I don't 'disagree with the stats', nor am I in 'denial'.

I just expressed surprise that the stats do not reflect what I felt I had seen. Actively disagreeing with a factual statistic, I agree, is deluded.

[Al]

According to BBC nothing less than Fulham deserved.

@#/?!

[donnermeat]

We did ok, up until the final third. We didn't build any meaningful attack. Woeful attacking play.

The same offensive tactic as has always been the last few years - either long ball or hoping Conway cuts inside and finds someone in the box (granted tactic number 3 in the last few years has been give it to Marshall in the hope that he dribbles/does something on his own, but that was never going to happen today).

Fulham look a nothing team without Cairney, thought he ran it today.

Talking about Rovers on 606 now

Only caught the backend, but some guy was talking very well about our plight to Savage and his mate.

Possession stats are completely meaningless anyway. I'll never forget under Bowyer a couple of seasons back our centre halves and midfield knocking forty odd passes back and forward to each other and never once getting into the opposition half. Derby at home I think it was.

Must have looked great on the possession stats that.

However as Jock rightly points out the only stat that matters is the one that says we have one point from five games.

[Paul]

Why? Have you not heard any anti Burnley chants before?

See Mike E's response. The protests will only be effective if the owners are targeted - not the team or manager.

Added to that, to target Coyle for abuse because he is allegedly a Burnley **** is moronic anyway. Call him not good enough, say he has to be replaced but for better or for worse he's our manager now, not theirs.

Looks like it's for worse but that's not the point.

[Al]

Felt for the new boys especially, Williams put a real shift in and looked like a left back which is saying something.

Moments before the goal Feeney had the ball in their corner and tried a silly trick and lost it which ultimately led to the goal

Feeney is a complete disaster and should never wear the shirt again but Coyle brought him in and will play him.

Exactly. Coyle may not be very good but he is not the target and should never be the target.

I just had the pleasure of meeting up with Gav and Debs. Great to see you bud.

Some guy = Glen Mullan

Some guy = Glen Mullan

My apologies to Glen, I didn't here the introductions, but thought he sounded familiar from his previous calls.

Well done to him, he spoke very well as I stated.

Greer should be captain, no question.

[Mike E]

Will I be able to listen retrospectively? Was caught up in an errand :/

[DE.]

To be fair, by the sounds of it he basically is captain in all but name. Can't help but think Lowe's "captaincy" is just an excuse to select him for every match, trying to increase the value of a home-grown product that may yield some £££. You really are wringing the last few drops out of player sales when you're trying to make Lowe a sellable asset, though.

There's a 606 podcast later. Apparently.

To be fair, you could only applaud them if they got money for Jason Lowe.

Unless Jim buys a club in the near future it certainly isn't likely.

[rovers11]

Anyone know what Kenny Dalglish was doing at the game today? Is he a scout nowadays?

[Amo]

But but but Mercer said this was a nailed on Rovers win!

Probably despairing at what he saw.

Just settled down with the telegraph crossword to cheer myself up.

Spoiler alert for 3 down:

"Manager sacked as clearly mad".

Answer?

Sam Allardyce

The world conspires against us thus at every turn.

As a cryptic crossword fan, I think that's genius.

My God I'm so looking forward to the Channel 5 football show. It's been a while....

Bring it ON!!

Edit: Woot! Woot! At least they showed one of the Venkys Out banners.

Graham looks overweight to me. Too many of Coyle's doughnuts?
