Not watching the stream-what was the problem first half? Doesn't sound like the best performance
Holla and Sidwell completely dominated in the centre, Lualua crossing woeful, Murphy anonymous. No service to the front two.

Only Rosenior, Dunk and Murray look good enough.

(yes it's preseason, yes it's hot)

Did suspect Holla and Sidwell in midfield would severely weaken us (Shows the importance of our first choices)

When you say "completely dominated in the centre", do you mean they dominated Fulham or Fulham us?

Those blindly backing the squad what do they think? Not a meltdown but we haven't improved the squad, Stephens looking like he will be off, Kayal not committing. Bloom and co need to act fast to bolster this squad and actually IMPROVE on what we had last season. Not assume a few sticky plasters will be able to perform as well / better.

I think it is a pre-season friendly with a very mixed squad, on a hot summer's evening. I don't think anything can be read into the performance.

No point in taking notice of friendlies, this is just a training session.
That's why it is strange to play someone from the same Division. I've seen enough friendlies to know how it works - most of out best seasons came after terrible preseasons and poor ones came after 100% records. But the first two games are always all about game time and not getting injured so why play a rival? Very strange.

Whereas it's in the middle of Fulhams season and they are playing their first team on cooler areas of the pitch.

:wink:

Preseason yes, hot evening yes, not strengthening from a position of strength, yes.
