Held our own but never looked like scoring which is the usual problem.
The concerning thing is if we go behind I don’t think we have it in us to equalize.
Best hope is we somehow score first and hold on for a draw.

Slightly better but still shit. They’ll get one decent ball in to Mitrovic and that will be game over. We’re tentative and cautious. That gets you nowhere in the Championship

Not playing badly. Both sides cancelling each other out, we just need to be better in possession.

errr, I have only been watching since minute 4 and there hasnt been a single pass back to the keeper, now in minute 17. Give over Keith. It's tepid. We've passed back more than ever. Confidence is evidently very low. I have my finest gilt edged rose tinted glasses on and I am not taking them off for anyone, unless Fulham score. I thought we played quite well that half, I like the look of O'Brien. Pritchard is busy. There were not seven back passes to the keeper between minutes 4 and 17. I agree, final finishing can be sharper, but my glass is more fuller than empty after the first half. Lets not forget this is also a team newly dropped from the premier league as well. UTT

Think we have looked ok but we have not created much goal threat. O'Brien very good chance and Grant miscontrol in the box Both half chances at best, both wasted because first touches were bad. Like I said not much goal threat.

At least we look organised, Bacuna looks to play the absolute speculator each time rather than an effective easy ball. I blame Chicken from the Examiner for bigging him up.

The commentators must have been watching a different match. They think we have played well. If this was three seasons ago playing the team fancied for promotion we would have been quite pleased with that. UTT from my sick bed. should have said I also think we have played quite well apart from the final pass.

Fair play to Jan he got a performance out of them that half, the effort is there but we’re desperately short of quality in the final 3rd.

Our bench will win us the game. Time for VLP and Mounie.

Sorry but it just shows how low our expectations have sunk that some see promise in that.

Bacuna off for me, looks a different play to back end of last season, his passing is so sloppy.

30 straight passes from Fulham before the save from Grabara. Its like men v boys...we are clueless when we have it. Oh just give up

The players are definitely trying. Lack of confidence in the final third.
Get VLP on for Kachunga ASAP.
Hopefully a goal will lift the monkey on the players back.

Why do sky think Jan will be the happier manager at 0-0 half time. What the f**k have Fulham done ?
Does Bacuna ever pass a ball to a town player ?

Not great but far more solid than last two league games Without ever looking like scoring...and created practically nothing. O'Brien looks eager. Grant has done well. Other than that bang average insipid slow paced nothingness. But hey we're half way to a point Mids after the first three matches I'll take this .. we have been that bad

Been positive so far, we’re moving the ball around and up the pitch well but missing some bravery and composure in the final third. I feel like Fulham are here for the taking, they’ve only just started to come into the game these last 10 minutes.

It looks a lot like the early games of last season, we're in it but you get the sense Fulham have some gears to go up and we don't. They have far more potential to get the first goal and if they do we're probably done.
O'Brien looks decent again though and this is one opponent where Kongolo on the left is probably well advised, he's had Knockaert dealt with all game so far.

I think we look OK. It's not sticking up front, and Bacuna seems to be channelling his inner Antony Kay, but we've never really been threatened and have played some nice stuff at times. Chalobah on for Bacuna, VLP on for Kachunga and Mounie on for Grant and I think we'll get a good result here.

The O'Brien chance is a great opportunity. Centre of the goal, unmarked and in the area. Time to control it and pick his spot. Shame he had a poor touch and lost the chance. But he is making only his second appearance at this level.

I think Grant looks the weakest link so far. Control has let him down a few times. Yep, overrated in my opinion.

Anyone who thinks we can flick a switch and play carefree, attaching football is deluded. Another half like that and a deflected goal for a 1-0 would be fine.
We’ve been horrific for 18 months. We need a foothold, a drop of confidence and a little luck to get a bit of momentum going.
We need to accept that and applaud our first steps as we emerge from the cellar, pleased the drubbings have ended but nervous about what the future holds.

quite encouraged by that half, albeit through a continually dropping wifi link... we look determined in midfield, winning tackles and driving forward quickly. Grant and Bacuna need to up their games a bit but like others I think Fulhamwill have the one chance and mitrovic will head in thw winner ... we need goals, every game 2, or 3... maybe Frazier will be the key...

Tight, tight game. I'm enjoying it. They just started to look a bit more dangerous towards the end of the half so we will have to watch out.
We might win this......
