Fulham 2-0 Aston Villa post match thread

[TopDeck113]

Disappointing but not a disaster. We just need to go again... starting Tuesday.

[Sexual Ealing]

I am a Jonah and I pledge to never watch that shower of spineless twats in person again.

What has happened to Ohare?

Didn't he play against Peterbrough and struggle to impose himself?

Like the other 10 that day, what I have seen I have liked and he Has talent, certainly an option from the bench I would have thought.
He played Barney in the Jack role and you don’t need to be a genius to see the floor in that idea.

Yes don't understand it either. RHM coming on v Bristol was first time I'd actually seen him live and he was lively. Not enough to suggest he can rip the championship apart but still worthy of a regular bench place and yet he's disappeared form the 18 again.

Certainly should've been loaned out given SB is always going to side with experience with his team selections with the position we're in.

Euston, we have a problem.

Not what you want after that debacle

[villa `cross the mersey]

Very disappointing result,especially in front of a big away following- to me it shows that whilst we have a big squad we lack quality
If Bruce was setting up for a draw today that is also disappointing and a risky strategy to boot.
It's a hackneyed response but Tuesday truly is a " must win" if we are looking at second place
Plenty of games to go yet but I fear we will be looking at play off at best - unless we batter Derby and Cardiff at B6

[Toronto Villa]

With such a conservative starting eleven why not have Green or RHM on the bench? Why have Whelan there for example? Bruce can’t get out of his own way at times.

And yes let’s hope this is a game he wanted a point and didn’t get it, and goes for it from the off ve Preston. Long way to go but we cannot keep doing this away from VP.

[Malandro]

He's a tit, but Lansbury would have been a better replacement for Grealish.
If you have injuries, keep the style the same if possible.

This is going to be a nerve fucking couple of months.

In fairness a few of us have pointed out the negative bench selections before games in the past few weeks but of course we win and it all gets forgotten.

First two pages from last week had many querying it.

It was going to bite us in the arse at some point.

[clash city rocker]

2 key players out today can give an excuse. We now need to beat a confident Preston on Tuesday. The thing that really worries me is if we don't secure automatic promotion how will Bruce approach the ay off games. To conservative approach in the play offs could mean another season in the championship.

[olaftab]

Not good today specially second half. Let’s beat Preston and get going again.

[curiousorange]

I wouldn't bet on us through the play-offs. It seems to me the only "cup final" type game we've played well in was against Blues. Against stiff opposition who actually want it, we've been pap.
