Given the choice of CH or Ranieri, I'd be having the latter any day. Sorry Chris, but he's a different level.

It's ok though chaps we can all comfort ourselves with the usual tweets:-

'I'm really disappointed with tonight, the fans were brilliant, we go again on Saturday'.


Comforting words indeed.

I'd have every single one of those useless ****ers in at 07:00hrs tomorrow and give them a non-stop beasting in the snow till lunchtime and then make them clean the U23s boots.

Dunk and Duffy need to have a good think about their attitude tonight. Yes that Serbian bloke was climbing but as the commentator said, he clearly wanted it much more than those two.

Are we blaming Ryan for this defeat then?

Majority of the blame lies with CH. I'd just be interested to know how he feels about being dropped at the first opportunity after not doing much wrong for a guy who has only just come back from weeks away on international duty.

Maybe having a more commanding keeper would've made a difference today considering we've been undone by high balls into the box, idk.

What a mess that was after such a good first half to. Sorry but just cant defend that second half , while not aweful going forward our defence was already thinking of the full time bath before the second half kicked off. Three of the four defenders at fault , Duffy & Dunk waiting to be given free kicks instead of dealing with the ball first , they just got bullied and while I think the ref got the third goal wrong as it was a foul there should be no excuses . Bong partly unlucky in that he needed more help (& thats not Locadias style) with Christie having the freedom of the wing for most of the second half. Bong also at fault for backing of too much especially when the midfield was no where to be seen.

Too many of the Albion players complacent in the second half & thinking it was too easy , maybe thinking they could score at will , certainly thinking the defence was impregnable .... sorry guys just not good enough & CH will get the blame for the players failings. CH not innocent as he must have seen Bong needed help but he failed to make a sub early enough to make a difference.

Just so depressing to throw away a two goal lead by conceding four to a team in the bottom three , much more of this and we may find ourselves in the bottom three.

Worse half of football seen in a while from Albion. Was Ryan jet lagged?

Ever heard pundits talk about "always one team that drops like a stone in to relegation from mid table"?

That’s definitely the fear just now. The last season and a half we’ve always been able to dig out a win or two just when things started to look dicey. We’re reaching that stage again and badly need a result soon.

Really disappointing but Fulham were bloody brilliant in the second half. The third goal killed us and it was 100% a foul on Dunk.

There is some pretty embarrasing over reaction on this thread imo

We can’t have it both ways about the second half, either:
1. The Albion remained very attack minded going for the third goal with many players pushed forward, then making unforced errors gifting them chances; or
2. Fulham were bloody brilliant.

Which was it?

Perhaps 1 naively led to 2?

Got to put this out of our system quickly. A poor, poor result but we can't dwell on it.

On to Watford.
