ffs  more of a pen than fulhams

[pauliewalnuts]

Lambert's post match will be interesting. He's become a master at spin, and dramatic draws and wins help. But when you lose in the much the same manner as the games won without the help of those goals, well it's like walking naked in the street on a cold day trying to convince everyone you're fully dressed and warm.

I thought the lads were fantastic

weimann was truly class today

The penalty decisions will be the get out card today - I guarantee it.

I was just thinking that, it's a ready-made excuse, and to a point, it has validity, but our passing the ball like a bunch of 6 year olds isn't explained by it.

Stone wall pen.

[Smirker]

That was a fucking pen.

[manic-road]

No doubt about it, the ref is shit.

[PeterWithesShin]

I support a lot of what Lambert does, but fuck me, waiting until 80 mins to make more changes is a tad of the shit side.

[Monty]

It's one thing to be shite, but not to get any decisions our way is just God pissing on us fans today.

[hilts_coolerking]

Doesn't matter.  Pen would only have gone out for a throw in anyway.

[mr woo]

Watch Scott Parker --- THATS how to tackle lads

[supertom]

Dive. Gabby's been watching Ash Young vids.

[Clark W Griswold]

Weimann has been truly awful today.

poor season for me

I don't think he's as good as the buzz either. Playing persistently out of position doesn't help him. He's not a wide forward. He has to be playing up through the middle if he's got any chance at this level.

Quite right, and if played correctly with someone in midfield who can 'play him in' regularly i think you would start to feel the buzz.

Can we have a scrolling marquee on the site, reminding us permanently that we actually aren't very good?

[Ross]

I know Lambert has had his hands tied to a point....but is this the best we can hope???

No this is it for me.  The budget issue might have been an issue for the first season, but not now.  The lack of any progression and basics like set pieces do it for me.  Good coaches can get shit teams at least looking solid.  We look nothing of the sort.

When we get the ball it looks like the game goes into slow motion. Fulham get the ball and its back to normal speed.
