I'm not sure how that team lines up because I don't really know much about Williams.

22 shots and another loss. At least it was another strong second half. I'm being patient with this team but I really expected more than one deflected goal after two games.

My thoughts after watching the replay:
Hyndman is better deep, and needs to get more of the ball. A lot of our opportunities came from him recycling possession (quickly!) and either hitting a quick ball out wide or a direct pass down the middle. It's this sort of fast-paced directness that led to a lot of the attacks in the second half. That said, he needs to put in more defensive work, and I would also like to see him move forward a bit from time to time, as he was able to spring even more dangerous balls against Ipswitch a bit closer to goal.
David should probably be starting again. I wonder if Roberts should start too, given how good he has looked. Eisfeld looked good when he was on, but we weren't as productive with him on the pitch, but that might have been due to a change in tactics from the first half to the second.
Burgess looked solid in back.
The side was completely different after McCormack came on and Magath changed his tactics a bit. Unless he's not completely fit I think he should be starting.
Still don't know a whole lot about this team, but the only game in England I ever went to was a Fulham game and I consider myself a fan. I'm going to try to catch as many games as possible this season.

ross barely played in the preseason with fulham and basically "held out" for a transfer the first couple weeks leeds was training so im not surprused he's behind the rest of the guys
like someone said it feels like everything is right again now that a yank is playing for fulham

Welcome to the Championship Fulham... this league is tough.
Posted on 8/21/14 at 8:32 am to Goose
Yeah, I'm officially worried.
I wanted to play the kids and he's played the kids so I can't really be too upset about that, but I just feel like in some areas of the team you need a bit more experience. Cameron Burgess may turn out to be a good center back, but I would be playing Amorebieta. Also I'm not sure why we sold Stockdale if there wasn't a replacement coming in.
Some things I'm just unclear about. I'm glad Emerson Hyndman's playing and he deserves it, but why freeze out Ryan Tunnicliffe to bring in Mark Fotheringham? I mean there must be something I don't know about that whole situation.
I'm not worried worried, as in relegation. But we clearly are already a bit behind the 8 ball when it comes to a chance of anything beyond a mid-table finish.

yeah about yalls quest for promotion...
Posted on 8/23/14 at 11:48 am to chalmetteowl
5-1 to Derby?
Posted on 8/23/14 at 12:41 pm to MisterDoctorMister
Derby are a front runner for promotion and have a hell of a manager and some really stout players...

Well frick this season in the arse.

I'm usually not one to want to pull the trigger on a manager change quickly, but at this point (considering last season too)I'm kind of good with letting Felix go.
So many baffling decisions. It started last year when in the biggest game of the year he played Dan Burn (a 6'7 gangly, slow,left-footed CB) at RB. I mean that was borderline manager trolling.
Why let Stockdale go if there was no replacement? I wasn't a huge Stockdale fan, but Joronen kind of sucks. The season to me in a nutshell is watching a shitty fricking stream just to get a chance to see him punt the ball thirty yards into the stands for no fricking apparent reason whatsoever.
You literally just have to laugh.
Also it's just a mystery with what is going on with some of these players. Is Mitroglou leaving? Is Ruiz leaving? Where is Amorebieta? If he's fit and not leaving he should be playing. I'm fine with playing kids but we need a more experienced spine (CB's, keeper, etc.)
Hoogland kind of fricking sucks. Hopefully Voser has gotten fit, no matter who the manager is.
Where are Tunnicliffe and Cole? I get dropping Tunnicliffe if there are good options, but we've frozen him out for Mark Fotheringham. Mark Fotheringham. He wasn't good enough for Notts County.
Also the selections are just so random. Hyndman may have been Fulham's best player the first two games and he's dropped the next two. I'm not even using him as an example because he's a promising young American, he's just a good example overall.
Where is Chris David? Where is Dan Burn? This could go on and on.
Pretty much.

Yeah this made no sense to me either. And it's especially disappointing since I tune in to watch the kid play.

It would be mad to play an 18 year old central midfielder game in and game out - the Championship is a long season. Some rotation is expected and necessary. I'm not sure why he was dropped for the Derby game though.
It's not any one thing though. It's just an accumulation of oddball shite.

Might be time to bring the Jackson statue back.

The FB group I admin. is in meltdown like the Rant after a two TD win.
Magath DID say everyone would get a chance.
But it's getting nuts, I'm worried. And yes, Derby are really good for this league.

The good news is we are only 4 games into 46. If we have to tank it in the cups in order to focus on the league, I'm fine with that.
But changes need to be made sooner rather than later. It's what bit us last year when we held onto Jol too long before bringing in Meulensteen.
The team must be markedly improved against Cardiff or Felix needs to be out the door. I'm not even talking just get a win and survive. I'm talking win the game convincingly and pretend like you have a clue out there.
Even though we lost our opening two fixtures, I had reason for promise. Against Wolves and Derby that disappeared. The center of defense must be sorted out and it's time we found a way to provide width without needing 3 central defenders.
I hear we are close to getting Mihailov on loan which would at least give us experience in goal. Either that or give Bettinelli a crack at it.
To earlier points made in this thread, several factors need to be addressed, and they need to be addressed now:
-Why is Mitro still with the club?
-If no move has been made for Ruiz, why is he not playing?

look set to sign Gabor Kiraly, 38 year old journeyman backup keeper from 1860 Munich.
OK then
