Fulham Away

[matt83]

Johnson at fault for the goal. Gave the ball away cheaply. Good finish

[BankEnd Rover]

Can't do anything about that goal. I don't mind if we loose and we play well. We can get something out of this!!

[Husky]

Crap closing down.

Brilliant goal totally against the run of play. Chins up lads, we are still in this.

So, that inexperienced kid from City....

[DE.]

Same old pattern. We look half decent then concede. The more people posted about how well we were playing the more i knew the inevitable was coming. 

Wonder how many clean sheets we'll get this season? More than single figures?

Did it 3 or 4 times against Charlton, he got way too much credit last week. Definitely better at going forward though.

It’s a disgrace but he can’t say he wasn’t warned.

Don't give a f@ck as long as we win games ..

For me it looked like Dack did a poor job as first defender before the goal. Tried, gave up and created the space for Cairney to shoot. 

Still...like what I see considering we're missing Lenihan and Cunningham.  Brereton to come on with a late equalizer in 2nd half? Would be gold! Not seeing a thumping here..

Indeed, how many clean sheets did Norwich have last year.

The lads are doing well.

[Mike E]

Conceding against the run of play is a bugger. I think at this point, I'd consider taking Dack off for Brereton and going 442 in the second half.

[joey_big_nose]

At the game 1-0 down but we look really decent. I have been impressed with both Gallagher and Tosin. Both dominant players. Gallagher wins 90% in the air and covers a huge amount of ground. Good touch too. Bell and Williams have also has played well.

Really on balance of play we should be ahead but somehow 1-0 behind. Standard.

Edit - also have to admit I am a huge member of Rothwell fan club but he's done very little today. Armstrong has produced way more on the right side.

I can see Downing and Graham making an appearance, maybe go 442 and bring Dack and Rothwell off. Dacks been okay but quiet.

played well in the first half.

Tosin and Williams look far more mobile than previous pairings. Dack also playing well.

Bell a liability and rothwell and Gallagher anonymous.

Early indications suggest you shouldn't get your hopes up. 

45 minutes to try and salvage something from the first two games of the season, even if it's only a point. Parker's Fulham are there for the taking but concede again and it's game over. 

With that said don't we have a horrifically poor record in recent times of coming from behind to get anything from games? Also thus far no shots on target... Do we practice shooting in training? Only managed two out of fourteen on target last week.

Suffice to say we aren't last season's Norwich. We'll be doing well when we hit the target with one of our shots. Literally can't score otherwise. Get Danny Graham on the pitch ffs, at least he has a track record of scoring.

You must be joking. Dack has been far and away our main outlet and absolute quality. 

Thoughts from the ground

 

Tosin quality so far

Gallagher is not the answer

Dack fantastic

Armstrong trying but no final quality

Rothwell quiet 

Need to change the striker for me.

[Husky]

For all that huffing and puffing we've had zero shots on target again.

For all our defensive frailties we're still lacking a decent goal scorer.

[Ossydave]

Tbf that wasn't bad at all.

Tosin already looking decent and tbf William's is getting the better of that cheating prick as well, embarrassing his play acting.

Still well in this game.

[sharpysharps86]

Much better performance so far. Unlucky to concede but it was a moment of magic from Carney. He will do that a few times this season. 

Something in this for Rovers if they stick at it.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Erm… Tony....

MUST WIN GAME !

 

 

[yellowsubmarine]

Rothwell has been really quiet this half. All the attacking seems to be utilising Armstrong pace to get in behind Fulham's defence.

Gallagher did win some headers but cant remember if we have any shots on target. Dack is quite decent, showed his strength and quality but didnt create too much.

Defence definitely looked stronger and assured. 

Bell still looks a little suspect. Bennett is okay.

[Exiled in Toronto]

Bell awful, Rothwell having no impact, everyone else good, Tosin and and Del very good. We have been doing very well negating their playing out from the back, there’s clearly been a lot of work on the training ground for this. Just before half time when it went back to the Fulham keeper, our entire team charged up 20 yards in unison.

Downing for Rothwell might be a shout, otherwise no changes for me.

[philipl]

Team set up well. With one exception Armstrong done nothing with the opportunities fed him.

Tosin looks pure class.

Couple of times Fulham have gone down for fouls which were dubious when we were in dangerous positions.

Overall, Fulham couldn't be complaining if it were 0-1 but Cairney scored a worldy.

[neophox]

Solid first half apart from goal... fine first half from tosin and Williams also think Armstrong had been bright... Dack having some Nice passes... Cairneys goal was a strike in the top corner, we all knew he can score from distance. But if we keep it up we can take something from the game. 

[DE.]

Good teams make their own luck. Not getting a single shot on target isn't unlucky. Big performance needed in the second half. Get Graham on.
