We was the better side until we let 5 in.

no excuses for that shit show of a second half

10 men we had not 2 ffs

 

[Richard]

Conceeding five goals in the second half shows we have no leadership on the pitch.

 

[monmouth]

Fisher in the first ten seconds after half time makes me wonder about leadership off it too. And I wonder about Fisher. I’m just wondering.

 

[Risc]

We were the better side by a distance first half. No doubt about it.

Honestly it doesn't matter one f**k... 5-1 does.

Yeah it does when people are trying to claim we weren’t, it’s up for debate.

The red completely changed the game, then Fisher inexplicably launching the ball at grimes the first few seconds of second half killed it.

Giveaway goals again. Fulham are on a different level to us and didn't need a helping hand. Where is the professional fight in these players. No real effort to win balls just hold position without reading any danger.

Martin launched his water bottle as soon as Fisher did it, it wasn’t part of the plan and Fisher needs to start learning and fast.

There was absolutely nothing in it first half. This nonsense about us being ‘better’ as though we were creating chance after chance is nonsense. The commentators doing the whole ‘who’d know who’s at the top’ is just embarrassing. They comprehensively stuffed us home and away. If we accept that we stand a chance at improving.

To be fair Manning ruined the game, he has gone studs up more than once this year and that always creates its own risks if you mistime it. Needs to keep his studs pointed down.

Agreed.

Manning is a liability at times and the challenge was completely stupid. In a nothing part of the pitch, no danger whatsoever and costs us the game. As for the goals so far, just ridiculous. There has to be some sort of maturity to our play surely.
The ref will get blamed, and it could have been a yellow, but he’s relatively card happy all season, we know that, so why give the option. We are a long way off being a team that can compete at this level week in week out.

Nearly word for word to the text I've sent to my cousin earlier.

We need a proper keeper. One that commands his box and stops stuff going past him more often. I’m biased though, I just don’t like skinny streaks of piss that cower on their line. Felt the same about Woodenman.

He was brought in supposedly for his calmness and distribution under pressure.


It's about time he showed it consistently, not the odd few times

We need a keeper not a sweeper

How much better were we in the first half? One shot on target that looked like it was going over anyway.

Awful wasn’t it? All he had to do was clear it rather that ping back into a crowded area. Makes me wonder about Martin’s judgement as Fisher seems worse than both the keepers we already had. Been quite a few wobbles lately and not even under much pressure.

What a shit show of a night. Manning a tw*t, Downes injured, self-inflicted capitulation, no organisation/fight/pride in the 2nd half. We didn’t look organised at all, so not the best half time team talk.

Oh well, onwards and downwards.

 

[CurtessECarr]

Against Blackburn we defended for our lives when down to 10 men. I reckon then the players took responsibility as it happened after half time. We probably would have still lost against Fulham but to give them a goal after 15 seconds begs the question what instructions were given by RM at half time. If he told them no nonsense guys its Fisher to blame. If he told them to continue playing the same way that's naive and he takes the can.
