Fulham 1-0 Aston Villa Play Off Final Post Match Thread

[VancouverLion]

Fulham are a better side than us but you hope the Villa team that beat Wolves and Blues at home turn up and Fulham choke. I knew it was pretty much game over when they scored, how often do we come from behind, especially against the good teams? Not sure whether to stick with Bruce or not but as others have said, today showed our weaknesses with him in charge, i.e. we generally don't create and score enough especially against the good teams and if we don't hit the ground running in games we find it very hard to get going and get the result as the match goes on. We did have a good 20 mins or so but it still never really looked like we'd score. Not enough players forward.

Once in 62 games apparently, piss poor.

Bag of shit.

We are very average and limited away from VP as our record shows.

If we could play 45 games at Villa Park and the one away game at Boro we'd go up but until we can choose our fixtures we need to be more positive and on the front foot in away games next season.

Once we went behind that was it. Shit game both sides were poor, they just too their chance

 Nightmare. The FFP sh*t will hit the fan now...

This is it Bruce if we can get ahead in a game the team can hang on but if we go behind we are generally useless , once again when behind he chucked on 2 strikers and we lost shape ..AGAIN !!!

Fulham's game plan appeared to be outpass us to pull the defence out of shape (which they did to score) and to kick Jack Grealish into the car park (which they also did). Our other most creative player, Snodgrass, was well marked and had an off day as a result. I would have been interested to see how differently if would have been refereed if Fulham were playing Arsenal, Spuds or Manure.

ffs  dont ruin my day even more with Liverpool winning 



had Bruce gone yet?



snodgrass gone
grabban gone
JT  gone
Johnstone gone


who else ?   maybe Jack and Chester, the only decent players we own

I dont want SB here no more .....    do not want another season watching that

Aye, but the Dogheads have shown what having a progressive young(ish) manager & some creative accountancy can do. Hopefully the suits at VP will have taken note...

The very predictable line-up cost us getting promoted. I could have picked who would've started today at the final whistle vs Boro. Bruce picking players on sentiment rather than form or the surprise element is the reason why we'll be in the Championship for a third season.

happens all the time with SB    no plan B and his plan A aint the best

i enjoyed wolves and blose and liked the bristol city win but wasnt a lot else

on my 5th gin now and need more

[Clark W Griswold]

I think Johnstone is the least likely of those to be here but you never know with any of them really. I actually think Grabban will be here and I'd be happier with Terry having another season with us in the championship than the PL.

[Axl Rose]

Sad.

Predictable rubbish from Bruce you just knew he’d set up to play like that, the first half cost us the game.

With FFP I can see us being down here for years, half that team will be gone I can’t see us being anywhere near promotion next season.

Don't worry, Bruce deserves another chance despite failing.
