Fulham v Wigan: Player rankings

Here’s how I scored our lads against Wigan.
Niemi – 5/10Didn’t look as commanding as in recent games. Some of his kicks were so wide of the mark I thought he might have his boots on the wrong feet. Also angered his defenders by sticking to his line when he should have come to claim.
Omozusi – [...]

What does Ray Lewington really think of the squad?

I’ve just been reading Ray Lewington’s comments on the main site ahead of tomorrow’s match at the Cottage and was intrigued by what he said about the team. He described them as “an honest bunch of players”. I might be reading too much into it but that sounds like a bit of a back-handed compliment [...]

A brighter future?

Well, hands up who knew that was coming? I think it’s fair to say that we all presumed Sanchez would be retained until after the Christmas period so the timing seems rather strange to say the very least. Sacking a manager – without having a replacement – 24 hours before a crucial match smacks a [...]

Interview: Wigan fans

We caught up again with George Chilvers who runs The Ultimate Wigan Athletic Website for his views on the season so far and his prediction for this weekend’s match at the Cottage. I always think the opinion of another team’s supporters normally gives a pretty fair assessment of how a side is generally perceived so [...]

What’s next for Fulham

I have scrapped the poll running on potential successors after realising that not only was the line-up pretty uninspiring, but that i’d forgotten to include John Collins who is a realistic possibility for the post…therefore i have replaced it with a new version to see how long people are willing to give Sanchez to turn [...]

A beaten man?

Inspired by comments from Rich at CCN about how optimistic he felt at the beginning of the season and how saddened he is now I thought it would be interesting to compare and contrast the body language of Lawrie Sanchez when he was first appointed…and how he is now.Is it just me or does he [...]

Who should replace Sanchez?

With the general consensus being ‘when’, rather than ‘if’, Sanchez departs, who should we get in to replace him? I have put forward a list of potential candidates on the left hand side of the page – under the Johnny Haynes photo – so please feel free to vote.

The Sanchez signings: An honest appraisal

I have listed the signings that Sanchez has made – that have actually played – and think they can be broadly categorised like this. Your comments would be very welcomed – as would a reminder of anyone I may have missed out.

Sanchez must go NOW!

Another game; another week closer to relegation. Saturday’s lame defeat to Newcastle reinforced my long-held belief that Sanchez is not the man to take us forward. He’s had ample time – and money – to prove his worth but, thus far, has failed miserably.
This weekend he was bemoaning our luck (good teams make their own [...]

Fulham v Newcastle: Player Rankings

I will post a full opinion after i’ve had a proper chance to digest yesterday’s match. In the meantime, here’s a rundown of how I scored our lads against Newcastle
Niemi – 7/10Another good performance – which saved us a number of times – and very nearly saved the penalty as well.
Omozusi – 8/10Giving the penalty [...]
