Oh for the days of the Police dog demo when a copper didnt get the memo (as it would of been then) and ran onto the pitch chasing the guy dressed up as a thief carrying a bag labelled Swag ! Get back to the relay race FFS

you can forget Watford for now, they are still in the Cup

Thought Charlie put in a hell of a shift this evening, Long on the other hand looks totally devoid of confidence or a fkin clue. Doesn’t even seem to run around to any effect now. Keep Gunn in goal, keep that back five in front of him, I know Yoshida always has a mistake in him but he’s a hell of a lot better than Stephens. JWP - totally different player to the one that’s been annoying me with his non effectiveness for the past few years. Shows it dan be done, well done son !

well I’m kind of banking on Stephens being sat in the stands.....

Over to you Southampton - try not to **** up this chance yet again eh ?

No it means they are trying to get him back to full fitness carefully, the controlled workload bit is the clue

just as well then

So the goals that will keep us up have to come from Long, Austin, Gallagher and/or Redmond with perhaps Ings fit enough to chip in here and there ? Terrific

The one thing Austin is good at is getting into dangerous areas in the box. Fulham have a ****e defence therefore Charlie must play, he will score a hat trick and will be carried around the pitch at the end and hailed a hero by the cheering masses.

All these weaknesses in players, Armstrong for example, will have been eliminated after the one to ones last week so no need to worry about them I would have Sims involved Wednesday as well, decent option from the bench at least.

I would be putting Sims on the bench at least. Fulham’s defence is awful, pace and plenty of crosses into the box should give us a bloody good chance.

I’ve said it before but Stephens would probably be a decent holding midfielder, he is NOT a central defender and probably never will be.

:lol: Brilliant

thats because they are awful

Sorry but you have to blame the manager for picking Stephens. When Yoshida went away with Japan RH talked about losing “one of my best players “ ......so fkin pick him over that clown.

Has Ralph not got the fkin message about Stephens yet ? Third game running !!!!

I can only assume he is doing what he did against Man City at Christmas with his eye on the next game.

wish I could see why RH is sticking by Stephens

I'm pretty sure he would have gone earlier had it not been for that terrible helicopter tragedy Leicester suffered

We aren't good enough in defence to park the bus against a team like Arsenal for 90 minutes, especially if Stephens plays and decides to put his arm up to hail a fkin taxi in the penalty area !

Yes to both points, what we have now isnt choice its circumstances.

It would have been vital had Cardiff won Friday night. A point would see us out the bottom three, that would be a bonus.

It’s a good, honest interview that. What with Forster’s situation as well it shows footballers are only human as well despite all the trappings that go with it. Not my favourite player but fair play to him and hopefully he will continue in the right mindset.

It’s us or Cardiff for that 3rd spot, simple as that. We need to take one more point than Cardiff, that’s all, that’s the goal. Surely we can do that.......can’t we ?
