I think our strat of getting players that can just about perform in the prem is better than paying millions for overrated cloggers from a slightly worse team in the same division, although I do miss michail antonio

that would probably help, although we scored like five minutes after he came on so that was pretty good.

Derby have pushed the melt down button, sacked Clement and put the assistant in charge for rest of the season. Good news for promotion hopefuls.

Martin Jol sold our midfield in 2012 and it's all been downhill from there

Are you gonna get relegated?

I watched a decent number of Fulham games in the past to see strongman Hangeland but I've only watched like 2 games since he left (partly due to Championship streams often being utter poo poo quality too). I figured you were adrift in the middle of the league but that table looks mighty precarious.

We should be fine. We've played far better since Jokanovic took over at the start of the year, even if the results haven't improved yet. Before that, we were getting completely outplayed in most matches, along with some occasional 4-0 wins when Symons' throw-poo poo-at-the-wall tactics randomly managed to work. Recently, we've matched everyone we've played, even if we've ended up losing by one goal most times. Everyone's still fairly optimistic, although it is getting a bit tight.

We won't be back any time soon, and would be happy with a mid table Championship finish.

Remember when we beat Juventus and Hamburg, and narrowly lost to Athletico in a European final? Yeah...

We could rename this the Fulham thread. Glad that they finally turned a good performance into an actual win and that QPR got beaten well again, so that'll buy Jokanovic time. I imagine Dembele will be off in the summer though, so it might be a fair bit harder to get promoted without him, especially with a grumbly McCormack too. Mid-table for a while I reckon.

Me too

Both teams had their chances to win, Boro lacked the finishing while their keeper made some brilliant saves. Doukara is playing with so much more confidence compared ot the player he once was but still wish we had a proper striker. Big big fan of Liam Bridcutt though me
