We could but we'd probably be sat on one less point.

Maybe our U21 manager had more idea than the bloke who was being paid millions just to carry out his own vanity project.

Big Les clearly wasted by RM. Should have played him in the double pivot with Downes.

Clean sheet. Good if unspectacular point. Would have liked us to have more of a go as I don't think Fulham were that good. Amazing how few chances we give up when we ditch Russball.

Deliberate elbow that.

RM obviously didn't realise Big Les could play if used in the correct role.

What the fuck are we afraid of? Try to win the game.

Why are we so afraid of losing this?

We aren't likely to avoid relegation so I can't see why we aren't having a go at winning this game. If we lose trying what difference does it make - let's go for 3 points rather than protecting one point which'll make little difference to us.

To be fair Downes was unlucky and the club should be appealing that - it was a good tackle and not dangerous.

That's the big positive from that first half. Previously we'd have gifted Fulham at least one goal by now.

Juric on his phone cancelling his work permit application 🙂

He's been very poor.

Zero quality so far.

Fernandes and Dibling not working as the attacking midfielders.

Not so sure. If it's Rusk's gig then I don't feel Juric should or would get involved out of respect but could be wrong.

Surely Rusk picked today's side?

Presume Juric will be watching from the stands and Rusk in the dug-out today as I don't think his work permit/visa was sorted in time?

Welcome Ivan and good luck - you're sure going to need it but all we ask is some decent performances with direction and effort which will get us some pride back. Few of us expect the miracle of avoiding relegation but let's get as many points as we can to give us some confidence going into next season.

Avoiding relegation is a tall order but let's see how many points Juric amasses from his 22 games in charge.

I hoped Big Les would make a huge difference to our midfield but it hasn't happened - not sure if that's down to him lacking ability or being used in the wrong way by RM. Also, I think he's looking to get back to Chelsea asap as his experience on loan to us has not been a good one - again, not sure whose fault that is.

He can't do worse than RM who continually claimed he'd had a great week in training with his brave boys only for them to capitulate when it came to match day - get Ivan in the dug out and hope he can influence the game.

Pretty sure Juric will play Downes with a partner in a double pivot which should ease his work load. Juric's problem will be identifying who the second player in the double pivot will be.
