And we've had 6 this season given against us. Double than anyone else 

3 in 3 successive home games which is fairly astonishing although I don't think any were all that controversial- but if QPR's penalty was one then so was ours and at a crucial time too.

To be fair to him, he's probably got the hardest job in the division today. Mitro and Carvalho are both exceptional talents at this level.

That said though, Zak's not having a great game.

But the same can be said for Ream at the other end.

I totally agree. Feel sorry for the lad TBH. Mitrovic is clearly a cut above

Go back to bed little boy.

You're defending this shit. ******* pathetic 

[Ecko]

Am I the only one on here here thinks we're actually playing alright? It's refreshing to see us attacking teams rather than sit back and do **** all

Na, I'm going to be stick to being positive.....or am I just drunk already! (plus Reading didn't score the other night)

He might well be but if we revert back to Bentley kicking the ball long every single time it goes back to him any improvements we have made in an attacking way will be consigned to the dustbin.

To be fair, we’d probably be better if we played Bents instead of Vyner.

[BUTOR]

Reminds me of a boxer who knew there was an unbridgeable ability gap so game out swinging in the first two rounds hoping for KO subsequently gassed and got knocked out themselves

[Taz]

Game over. 

Fulham are good but how bad is our defence!?

You *****.

[Fuber]

This just highlights the sheer reason as to why parachute payments need scrapping. The gulf between relegated teams (who are yoyoing) and lower championship is so, so stark.

[ProfitInMyPocket]

I'd take Weimann off for a midfielder, shame James ain't available. Semenyo doing the work of two up front, let's get an extra man helping out and push Massengo nearer Semenyo.

Maybe now people will start to realise that a striker is not the priority. 

It's sorting out this defence.

Absolutely. Has been for a while now

This trend is becoming almost  suspect. Has City done something to be threated like that?

Last season and 2019/20 I would have put it down to us not creating much. It figures.

This season at times and especially from Blackburn at home but also Huddersfield at home 2nd half and of late though we certainly have looked to be more positive but these things even themselves out? I don't go in for conspiracy theories,

Really enjoying this game despite the score. Can anybody tell me when we last scored from a corner? Just wondering.

Probably picked the wrong team to attack.

We have no midfield and the defence cannot cope with Mitrovic . They are going to hit 7 or more again this week 

2 vs 3...outnumbered and outdone technically.

Cairney, Reed and then Carvalho as the third man who can go back and forth a bit is pretty likely to outgun ours for sure!

King, Massengo and Scott- that's good but...going to be outgunned for a range of reasons!

Weirdly, despite being 5-2 down, the green shoots of recovery are there. Just playing vyner v mitrovic is a joke. But overall the play is so much better and you can see it starting to come together. 

[BCFCGav]

Obviously this is going to be rough but Fulham can do this. There’s far more important games than this one around the corner.

[Dan Robin]

Such a promising start but then...

Let's hope Coventry don't make the same.

Love the optimism- keep it up.

I'd say Max has had no chance in all 5 instances and his distribution of the ball has been first class.

. 
A Max love-in all round. Hes no better distribution than Bents. Where Max has benefitted is no Martin in the team so he cant lump it. Bents has had Martin all season to smash it to. 
Having said that yes, no goals being saved today. If anything though, it should confirm Vyner can f/o!

You are without doubt the biggest baby who posts on this forum. Get a grip or **** off and support somebody else. Only somebody with mental issues would fail to realise that Fulham are better than us full stop.

[bcfc01]

Could end up very embarrassing.

Didn't really expect to be thrashed like this, but defending like we have its inevitable.

I'd expect a couple of changes at HT to try to keep the score down and maybe pinch one.

One ray of sunshine is Semenyo, two great finishes. Other than that, most of our team are watching Fulham play.

If you think this is shit you haven't seen us play much football this season.

 

[Gazred]

**** me. It's like sn England Ashes tour!

Where do they go from here? So much promise in how we started as well.

[pillred]

Well that was a great half if you support Fulham for us it was a bloody nightmare, what is wrong with us we were the better team last week to this I despair.

[Jerseybean]

First half in a nutshell.

Some first half! Despite a couple of great goals from AS our midfield and defending has been shocking with nobody able to close them down or match up  Mitrovic so he has two easy headed goals and then is given far too much room for his hat trick.

Fulham are quick, very fluid and mobile, they are able to drive forward with lots of space too often with really good options. They are giving us a footballing lesson at times.

Unless we do something to address the above this will be an even more embarrassing final scoreline as we are likely to concede +++ 

To finish on a positive our fans have been loud and AS has notched two excellent goals.

Exactly that!!
