Him and Kelly really showing why we’ve progressed beyond them. Kelly’s passing and Goddens pace just not at the right level.

Sheaf having a poor game on the ball, Dabo not quite right. Few changes we could make here, not sure what’s the right one. We can definitely get at this lot and score.

Goddens pace is terrifying

Neither side threatened much tbh. Apart from Mc.Fazdean's bizarre headed own goal, each side has pretty much nullified each other.
It's a tight competitive game, but if we are to get something from it, we must raise the tempo more. Jamie Allen may be useful to do that at some point. Sheaf get's through good work but its more containment than anything else. We must look to go forward.

Goddens pace is terrifying

Not usually how that words used for pace but yes!

 

[djr8369]

No I think he's just not as good as Kane going forward.

Maybe not but looks a different player. Think he’s reluctant to try and go around Robinson

 

[Nick]

The issue when maatsen has gone forward is that there aren't many options.

Everybody is behind one of their players.

 

[skybluegod]

Fulham are just much better than us. Keeping us at arms length.

Hardly? Their only threat has been corners. They look shit scared of Gyok. They retain possession well but that's about it.

 

[jordan210]

We are so sloppy when trying to attack. Godden isn't offering anything.

We are doing ok. but just sloppy

 

[ccfc92]

I think we've done okay, but as usual every little touch is falling for them. They get a toe on every forward pass we attempt.

GK time wasting as per. Ref is doing okay, but think he's here to see Fulham through.

 

[Nick]

Maybe not but looks a different player. Think he’s reluctant to try and go around Robinson

I think he turned into Trent Alexander Arnold in the last 3 games because people don't like Kane.

 

[shmmeee]

They aren’t miles better than us let’s be honest. We’re giving them a lot of respect and have let ourselves down with our passing. Really missing Hamer in the middle.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Wow.

What?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

It’s only 1, still in it. 2 before half time and think that would be us done

 

[Frostie]

Ball played he`s offside, free kick from where he received it?

Correct.
The irony of our fans chanting "You don't know what you're doing"

 

[stevefloyd]

How is there only one additional minute?

Their goalie has wasted 2 mins at least

 

[shmmeee]

Kelly has been excellent. Everyone else just ok. Maatsen’s crossing needs to be a lot better.

I think his crossing is much better TBH. Low and hard and winning corners. Problem is there’s no one in the box to aim for and that applies to the corners too!

We’d be better off trying to work it into the box when out wide unless we’re breaking. I don’t think we’ve scored once from a cross when the oppositions defence is set.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Early kick offs are never great. Fulham fans have been decent surprisingly

As long as We don't let them have their cake and eat it

 

[stupot07]

Because the free kick is taken from where the offence occurred.

but you can't be offside in your own half

Still in this, Robins needs more from Dabo down the right

Allen for Godden, 3-4-2-1??

 

[mark82]

Which game are you at today?

I think we've played alright, considering the opposition. Final ball is letting us down a bit but we're in the game and feel like we could get something with a bit more in the final third. Missing Hamer and Waghorn in that respect. Also feel like we're missing Kane a bit.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Decent enough first half don’t deserve to be one down.

Still got a good chance of getting something. Would like to see a bit more up front. Gyokeres working hard and looking a threat as always, needs a better partner - hard game for Godden to come back to.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Felt that we gave them too much respect in the first 20-25 mins and gave away a stupid own goal unnecessarily. Maybe still having after-effects from that 5-0 drubbing. Maatsen could/should have been on the line and could have prevented the goal from going in. Otherwise, we need to be braver and go at them a bit. C'mon they lost away at Blackpool and at home to Reading. So it's not like they're invincible. If we really put some pressure on them I think we can nick a draw.

 

[procdoc]

I don’t think we’ve played badly. Our final ball is terrible but we’ve played some nice patterns and apart from the all important goal have nullified them in attack. We need to stop giving away set pieces as Mitrovic is a beast

 

[CCFCBat]

Fulham are costing and have several gears to go through. We need something to wake up the fans and create some intensity

Who coasts at 1-0

We literally just need to tidy up, we’re approaching this like a cup game against a high and mighty club. So many bad decisions, rushing when unnecessary.

 

[Sick Boy]

Kelly has been excellent.

Really?

 

[Skybluefaz]

Fuck me, why are people not getting it? You are offside in the oppositions half but if the player comes back in to their own half and touches the ball the free kick is taken from the point the player touched the ball.

 

[jordan210]

Kane offered more than Dabo has last few games

 

[Grendel]

We over elaborate clearing the ball far to much and have been caught out several times and one time it’s costing us

 

[The Philosopher]

Allen for Godden, 3-4-2-1??

I’d go for that. Overload the midfield and push Cal up.

 

[skybluegod]

Agree. We can win this. Just need to stop giving so much respect. Get the ball in behind and they struggle.
Think Allen might be a good change at some point to get an extra runner beyond the front 3.
A bit sharper with the passing and we'll score I'm confident.

 

[shmmeee]

Fuck me, why are people not getting it? You are offside in the oppositions half but if the player comes back in to their own half and touches the ball the free kick is taken from the point the player touched the ball.

Still a stupid rule that goes against the spirit of the offside law IMO

 

[Grendel]

Correct they changed the rule a few years ago

 

[Deleted member 2477]

if only Maatsen could cross a ball

 

[better days]

I get it but it doesn't stop it being a bloody stupid rule
What the hell is the point of it?

 

[North York’s Blue]

Because the free kick is taken from where the offence occurred.

Which was in their half, otherwise it wouldn’t have been offside…..
