Fact.
And if Mooy plays the number 10 role again, I'm going to scream.

Fact. And if Mooy plays the number 10 role again, I'm going to scream. Wagner got it wrong with selection. we gifted all 4 goals and made mistakes BUT we had 4 or 5 great chances ourselves and as good as Fulham are and i believe town have beaten themselves today. That performance won't happen again this season. UTT

Fulham are indeed a better team. Indeed, (and I watched the match at Craven Cottage), I think they are the best team in the Championship, on their day. Cairney is excellent and shoild be playing Premier League. Malone is a very fine full back, far better and stronger than Lowe. MacDonald is an excellent ball player. Moreover, they play as a team, with a better understanding of geggenpressing than Town have.

Very impressive from Fulham today, especially after going one down so early.

Smith might have got in the team of the year but he's been pretty awful of late. Keeps just hoofing it down the line to no one

"Smith might have got in the team of the year but he's been pretty awful of late.

Central defence of Town wasn't too bad, but we were exposed on the flanks. Not helped by VLP losing the ball so frequently.

For me the difference today was the fitness levels - they pressed us far better - forcing errors - and then broke with more intent and energy
Need to get one more win asap so we can rest some of our key lads - obviously easier said than done!

It's not fitness, it's pace. Nearly every one of their players is rapid. We didn't have one genuinely quick player start that game (VLP and Quaner are fairly quick but not on the same level as their lot)

Combination of them being bang on their game and us being bang off it.
Don't think theres much to gain by dwelling on that too much. The players who made the individual blunders that cost will know what they did wrong. It was just a rank bad performance from the entire side.
With brown back we can revert to the system that did so well for us earlier with Mooy in a deeper role. If teams are going to geggenpress our back 4 like Fulham did today, we need Mooy in there as hes the one with the composure to cope with that and still offer an out ball.
Time to leave Lolley out now IMO. Just hasn't kicked on and doesn't look the player he did when he first arrived from non-league.
2 points from 3 games is all thats needed. The finishing line is in sight. Don't care if we stumble over it. Quite often its the teams that do that who come up trumps, but even if we fall short in the play-offs, we'll have had one hell of a season.

Fulham just came with the form and intensity of a team chasing the play offs. Town meanwhile are just going through that drop off that can happen to 3rd placed teams once automatics chance has gone.
Wagner will have their mentality and intensity right for the play offs, which we're nailed on for now despite today's defeat.

the season is not over, we still have a great chance to make the playoffs and go further. We still have great games in us may be the final 3 will see us confound the experts.

Lolley was horrible, cost us at least 2 goals. Pushed high up then went narrow. Allowed the fullbacks to get in behind and then he has no pace to get back. Van la parra was equally manure. Never seen someone give the ball away that much.

think quaner should be tried left wing

No doubt, if we're up against them in the playoffs it will be over by half time in the first game.

think quaner should be tried left wing That's not a bad idea. VLP can be great, but he was poor today. If Kachunga is well, he should be CF against Wolves.

Very good team, they'll be premier league next season probably.

Fulham play the way Wagner would love us to play FACT
We play too narrow down one side , they always kept the full back and winger out on the opposite side,so always had an out ball, when their press won the ball back which in turn gives them a fast breakaway.
When Schindler or Lowe had the ball they put a man to close the angle down so the ball couldn't go to heff and Visa Versa with heff and smith , that's why smith had to play it long a lot
They played really good pass and move football

We didn't have one genuinely quick player start that game (VLP and Quaner are fairly quick but not on the same level as their lot) We have decent pace albeit today a lot was missing - Brown, Kachunga and VLP off Wells/Quaner is a pretty rapid front four Mooy and Lolley (who looks to have lost his speed after his injuries) are just not the same - so I agree it harmed us going forward. Our back four today got exposed due to individual errors further up the pitch - miss placed passes and players not tracking especially on our right

Touch, pass, movement, thought..the lot. Our play is generally a bit slow and predictable but today more so than ever. In the end we faffed about with it, they closed us down and we end up lumping it ( or we end up making a cock up and handing them a chance) Mooys a great player but hes the main culprit IMO. Hes the one who sets the tone to our game- how slow and ponderous it is going to be. Sideways one way, then sideways the other, then back...over and over again. Whereas Fulham.., get the ball , quick pass, quick pass, quick pass and they're in. We actually did the same a few times and got in some good positions. But IMO theres just way too much slow arseing around with it whilst the opposition sort themselves out.

The fact is, that several of their players have more skill and are quicker in thought and movement than ours - several times they looked as though they had an extra man on the field. Unless one of the other teams in the play-offs improve by 100%, I feel that Fulham are on their way to the Premiership.

they are better than us. they have scored 9 goals against us in two games.
anyone who suggests we are as good as they are is quite frankly deluded.

Fulham were quicker in thought and in actual pace but the main difference was they finished their chances and we didn't.
Well played Fulham, easily the best performance against us at home all season.

The fact is that some town fans have a melt down when we lose. Yes we've been taught a football lesson by Fulham who have been the better team on the day twice now but if we were to play them again in the playoffs it wouldn't bother me. On our day we are a match for anyone in this division and who ever we play in the playoffs (if we finally make them 😀) will hold no fear from me and shouldn't with the team. The dream is still alive and a few poor recent results will not change my way of thinking regarding that and there's going to be plenty more twists and turns before the seasons end.
The futures bright, the futures blue and white 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

He was good but he did have acres of space to run into, when Lolley kept stepping inside.

He had a more than decent second half too. Really stood out as a rock there. Dammit.
