windermereROYAL Goodness me. Middlesbrough look poor. it`s hard to imagine them beating anyone on present form...oh wait. :shock:


Both teams look absolutely shit. We must be worse than shit to lose week in week out. I’ve not really seen a decent championship team this season. Wtf is Gomes doing?


That’s really harsh on Birmingham, played well I thought

Conversely I don't think I've seen a bad Championship side yet (ourselves excluded). Fulham's defence didn't look much cop otherwise they'd be the clear standout of who I've seen so far.


Watched Huddersfield play someone who I can’t remember and they looked absolutely woeful

And they lost to us

So there’s one.

In before someone comes up with the you don’t watch games joke :lol:

Out of all the teams I’ve seen play is so far, I’d rank something like this:

Fulham
Charlton
Wednesday
Blackburn
West Brom
Swansea
Boro
Cardiff

Well I didn’t go to Fulham game but apart from Charlton who were very organised the games I’ve seen on the TV and at Reading the standard has been mediocre.

But I’m not surprised you’re disagreeing with me.

Fulham were impressive. Even before the sending off they were in control. Lots of first time passing, often intricate and angled passes, good movement, good shape and some impressive finishing. A cut above us that’s for sure.

I’d hope so. They spent an absolute shit ton to be utter shit in the PL.

They looked quite shambolic at the back until they went 1-0 up though - we probably should have been 1 up

Do you think so? We only had the one clear cut chance for Meite that I can think of.

Shambolic was the fact that we could have lost to Fulham 8-1 if it wasn’t for Rafael. I’m not sure we should class the Fulham defending as shambolic. I can only remember the 1 chance for us before the sending off too.

Puscas did a nice little roll back for Barrett too, but Barrett didn't anticipate it so got to it late meaning a defender who was on it could close his angle. If Barrett had anticipated strong chance he could at least force a good save.

Don't think it would have ultimately mattered though as Fulham looked like they could score with almost every attack.

That and when the keeper hoofed against his own player. That was all before they went 1 up

Pretty shambolic considering we hardly flew at them

Not for one minute suggesting we’d have won if we had scored though - let me make that clear!

Charlton looking good vs Fulham. They didn’t give them a kick up front first half.

Edit. Not so second half

2-2 good result though

Fulham really aren’t as good as they decided they were after smashing an awful RFC side in midweek

They certainly were, and that was largely down to Harry Arter.

tbf that dive/sending off of his against Cardiff was one of the most comical things I've seen this season. Absolutely brilliant in its utter pathetic-ness. Whoever that ref was deserves a pat on the back for it

For anyone who hasn't seen or wants to see again:

it's brilliant. Everything about it, including the flop over and then the reaction. What a complete knobend.

Did he gain his team and advantage and help win them the game? Was his positioning and passing absolutely flawless all night?
