Re: Fulham:whether it be bestial oblivion or some Craven scr
In my naivety, I had reasoned that leaving two up must oblige the attacking team to leave three (or even four?) back. Similarly, leaving three up surely must occupy their back four? The final element in my thinking was that, the more space there is in the penalty area at corners, the more chance for the keeper to come and claim any cross. Obviously doesn't work that way or the tactical genii of professional football would be doing it alreay...[/quote]It does ... and it's just a fashion and will revert over time.EverSoYouri wrote:These stats only focus on the first phase.

By saying 'I've been doing it the wrong way all season, so now I'm gonna do it the right way,' Dougie is buying himself some more time. He's literally saying, 'now give me another 10 games to bed in this new method of mine.' By 'holding his hands up' and saying he was wrong against Derby, he's simply trying to fool us all. We'll still be here this time next year whilst he says he's got something new to try and that we should at least allow him the chance before kicking him out.
That said, I DO want him to succeed - I'm just running out of optimism, whilst the club is surely running out of time.
Fulham have a very strong front 3, and now that mad Magath has been chased out of the club, I can only see tonight being a case of same old same old down at the Cottage. A defeat. We'll score but lose 3-1.

On my way to the match. Meeting up with a couple of TWers. I expect the latter to be more fun...

Re: Fulham:whether it be bestial oblivion or some Craven scr
All I've really hoped is that we'll start a game doing the attacking. We just never seem to do that any more. We're like energy-saving light bulbs, we work, just about hard enough to justify a job-description, but laboriously and dimmer than the norm. We're the Frank Brunos' of the football world, big friendly punch bags that everybody knocks fxck out of. FFS Dougie, take it to em instead of our usual "oh look how well we defend, we just passed the ball six times before Lonergan whacked it into touch!" GET STUCK INTO EM....
COME ON YOU WHITES....

so, actually, "All I've really hoped is that we'll start a game doing the attacking" isn't strictly true - you ALSO hope that we will score a couple!TANGODANCER wrote:We lost 2-0. I want us to score a couple.....Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Didn't we start the better team on Saturday?
as for me - I'd welcome some wins however they come - attacking or not - scabby goals off Mason's arse - or free-flowing chungy-mavis-danns passing it into the goal arsenal-stylee!
COYW!!

Dougie said he's gonna go 'back to basics' and do the simple things. I suppose part of this master plan was dropping his top scorer and most gifted technical player! :/

Oh, & my guess on 'back to basics' is that keep-ball bollox he tried against Charlton almost 2 years ago. Passing it to & fro along the back 4, occasionally forward to a midfielder who promptly passes it back to the back 4 ... ad nauseam until someone loses it or it goes out of play or it eventually gets a big welly forward.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Slightly surprised he's not using both keepers on there tbh.

Well one things for sure, there's not much more than 1 shot on target in that team - looks like he's picked a side to get him the sack - he's had enough thank feck.bobo the clown wrote:He's had that breakdown, clearly.Peter Thompson wrote:@OfficialBWFC: #BWFC team to face @FulhamFC: Lonergan, Herd, Mills, Dervite, Moxey, Spearing, Ream, Danns, Feeney, Pratley, C Davies #FULvBOL

Re: Fulham:whether it be bestial oblivion or some Craven scr
So the only attacking threat we have is on the bench.
We'll be 2 - 0 down within 10 minutes.

Re: Fulham:whether it be bestial oblivion or some Craven scr
Well he has certainly gone back to his basics of not wanting to attack.

Has he taken gardening leave of his senses?
Re: Fulham:whether it be bestial oblivion or some Craven scr
He's on for the sacking then with that abysmal team selection.
Pfffft.
