Doesn't matter what corner we put in, no fucker gets on the end of them.

Mr Panda · Oct 2, 2021

Something is there for us if we take a little care next half.

Godden isn't much use unless he's in on goal and we're not going to provide that for him. Get Allen or Walker on.

Liquid Gold · Oct 2, 2021

Fulham are just much better than us. Keeping us at arms length.

jordan210 · Oct 2, 2021

Get in the final 3rd few seconds left so we play it backwards....

Skybluefaz · Oct 2, 2021

Kelly and Godden looking a little bit league one. Fulham should be much better than us but we aren't that far off.

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 2, 2021

Pretty poor first half. We look poor in all areas. Sloppy defending and passing, then clueless in attack.

procdoc · Oct 2, 2021

Got into some great positions down the left but Maatsen’s final ball is absolute wank

Esoterica · Oct 2, 2021

Fulham are a really good side, so anything said today has to be taken with that caveat but... what we're seeing is a 3-5-2 with 2 sitting midfielders vs the more box to box style like Allen or Hamer.

In today's scenario, the sitting midfielders allow the wingbacks to both get much higher at the same time and the right and left centre back push a bit wider to cover the higher wingbacks, knowing that Sheaf and Kelly will drop into central defence to support there. It needs wide centre backs that are very comfortable in possession though which is why we've looked better at building play down the left than the right as JCS and Maatsen link better than Hyam and Dabo.

It also means we've had nothing through the middle when attacking as the 2 DMs are so deep it forces everything down the wings (or some ropey long balls into the strikers). Set up like this suits Kelly's personal attributes but we have too many other players that it doesn't suit today, to be as effective as the previous style inside the 3-5-2. Hyam not comfortable enough in possession, Godden feeding off scraps, Gyokeres having to come too deep to look for the ball and playing more like a genuine target man than recently. We're going to be very very reliant on Dabo and Maatsen today or we tweak it and use Allen instead of one of Kelly and Sheaf. That said we've still managed to create a few half chances but don't think we'll be seeing the recent fluent football without a further tweak or two.

Honestly godden runs like he's constantly injured. He also looks like he's running through treacle.

How is there only one additional minute?

Their keeper has wasted three on his own

Playing ok. Probably don't deserve to be behind at the moment. Quite an even game.

Which game are you at today?

larry_david · Oct 2, 2021

Kelly done alright so far I thought. He's a good squad member for us at the moment.

Kelly has been ok but Godden isn’t offering anything.

Dabo has been abysmal so far, Kane must be pissed off

Has he been told to stay in position?

Corner.

We did when they scored

eastwoodsdustman · Oct 2, 2021

Was just about to post about the atmosphere being really flat today. some of the comments on here and it’s just as bad. We’ve restricted them to 1 shot in target and are dangerous when we go forward. People are just panicking

Yup wrong game for him

We haven’t played poorly to be honest G

It’s been comfortable for them. We’ve had joy a few times pressing but little else

Not been great , but expected to lose this.
Let’s make a game of it second half

LastGarrison · Oct 2, 2021

I didn’t think that was a bad first half against a team that are favourites to win the league and are odds on to get promoted!

Sloppy in places and shite defending for their goal but we’ve had a couple of little half chances and certainly haven’t looked out of our depth.

Him and Kelly really showing why we’ve progressed beyond them. Kelly’s passing and Goddens pace just not at the right level.

Sheaf having a poor game on the ball, Dabo not quite right. Few changes we could make here, not sure what’s the right one. We can definitely get at this lot and score.

djr8369 · Oct 2, 2021

Anyone know why singers corner observed a 45 minute silence?

usskyblue · Oct 2, 2021

Fucking glad I don’t rely on match threads to know what’s going on…

We've had our chances. Just need a bit more composure.

Not in the same league as your perceptive analysis of the 5-0 Luton defeat:

"The defence was the problem today"

No I think he's just not as good as Kane going forward.

SeaSeeEffCee · Oct 2, 2021

Kelly has been excellent. Everyone else just ok. Maatsen’s crossing needs to be a lot better.

Brighton Sky Blue · Oct 2, 2021

I like how the bipolar comments section makes it impossible to tell how we played

Early kick offs are never great. Fulham fans have been decent surprisingly

Fulham are costing and have several gears to go through. We need something to wake up the fans and create some intensity

steve101 · Oct 2, 2021

Good performance. Think it was a foul on McFadzean but he made it too easy. Kelly and Gyokeres our best players at the mo. Not sure Kelly will be able to last a full game though. Godden will be replaced by Walker after 60 I would think.

Because the free kick is taken from where the offence occurred.

Wow.

How if that was offside where they allowed to take free kick in our half

Ball played he`s offside, free kick from where he received it?
