I missed the match, but their defensive record suggests we gave them too much respect at The Amex?

I was there. We actually came out of the blocks, attacking, playing well, Fulham weren’t in it. Then we fell asleep on about 35 minutes giving them the lead and confidence.

Not been paying attention to them. but Martin Keown said on Final Score that the manager changes the team and formation every game including playing Sessegnon at left back. If true, it shows that having a plan and sticking to it is what works, not faffing about trying to justify spending shedloads of money.

Didn't Sessegnon start out as a left back, gradually working his way further forward - bit like Gareth Bale did?

It's funny because a few blokes behind me spent most of the second half shouting at Hughton, calling him all sorts of names and screaming at him for negativity, lack of changes etc. You may be surprised to hear their chant of 'Chrissy Hughton is a tosser' didn't catch on

We’re they a bunch of away day Palace tossers or just a bunch of tossers having a bad beer day? :shrug:

Yeah, that's m memory of it too. We could easily have been a couple up at half time and we absolutely dominated the last 20 minutes, Fulham were nowhere.

It’s hardly a shock, is it? Anyone who knows anything about football could see what was going to happen to them. You can’t play football like that at the top level without top class players.

They spent a lot of money....trick is, walk before you run.

Our club is smarter. Fact.

Absolutely. And it’s the same reason why we are going to be in a far better position than Palace over then next ten years- because we plan for the long-term, and they plan for the short-term.
