Decent Manager and play footy the right way. I hope they do well and stay up. Pretty much what I came here to post. They once dicked me about over a job - 7 interviews over a 2 month period. I was offered the job three times only for yet another interview to be dreamt up as a "formality". Even after all that, I still bear them no ill-will and found everyone working there (during the Hodgson reign) to be smart and very pleasant to deal with. It's one of the great away days and in the main, their fans are a decent bunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 F**k Fulham. Shit little club that wouldn't even get a look in if they weren't in London. The fact that they have a 'neutral supporters' area, in a ground that holds less than 20,000 anyway shows how shite their actual fan base is* *Actual fan base, versus the 20,000 extra fans they somehow found for Wembley earlier this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Spent £100m and concede 4 goals to Cardiff. Yet to have a clean sheet this season. Probably a good job we didn’t go up as we would be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2018 A few of their supporters are already discussing the pros of the championship over the premier league. Looks like it’s going to be them, Cardiff, Huddersfield or Newcastle to make up the bottom three (really sticking my neck out there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a good job we didn’t go up as we would be worse. Spent it all on attackers though. Still lining up with Ream and Odoi at CB and McDonald as holding midfielder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Surprised they've struggled so much. End of last season their level was basically the same as Wolves (who had in fairness eased off a little). Guess difference is Wolves largely kept the same squad so team spirit remains while Fulham made about 10 signings so that can fracture things in the dressing room perhaps. Look a bit like our 2015 version atm. Is there anyone on this forum who actually rates Calum Chambers? Guy has been useless defenders for years yet Arsenal keep giving him new contracts and teams are always willing to take him on loan.

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Massively imbalanced transfer strategy, needed more quality at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked like a major weak link in this division. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 They did sign Mawson for 20 odd million but seems he's struggled to set there so far and also had an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2018 It was one of my worries had we been promoted last season (or indeed this season). Splashing £100m on 6 or 7 players and it not gelling. Although from what I hear from pundits, they’ve tried to maintain the style of play from last season and it’s not working against better opposition. Too often they’re punished, but I suppose letting in four against Cardiff suggests that in itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, played the first few, then was dropped, think he might of had a game since and then got injured. Not that I’ve been keeping an eye out and hoping for the worst for him or anything...

As much as pains me to say the best thing that happened was losing the play offs as now we have a much better footballing strategy and team in place with a fresh young exciting manager. Fulham are a mess. They spent 100m or so and when they come down most of those wont want to play in championship.they will probably get rid of jonkavic too by the time season ends meaning unless it's a big name they will struggle to get back up like stoke. I would not be suprised if they sack him and panic get fat Sam in to save them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
