- The Barry Hayles/Kevin moment. -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, January 13, 01:36:44pm (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
Friend had seen the thread below and sent me a link to the goals. Didn't realise stuff like that had made it on to youtube.....celebration (3rd goal) exactly how i'd remembered it. Its even kind of mentioned by the annoying commentator.
Lets hope Kevin goes on to score 50 odd goals for us and becomes a cult hero!!!

- Thats a bit of a coincidence was literally writing a post about hayles just this moment before getting distracted. Was thinking we should actually do an proper testimonial for him as he is finally retired (although still plays in a vets league I think) Maybe combine it with Cairney going this year or next etc and bring back Ream, LBM a few others from his era and maybe the berb as he is a Spurs fan. The man should actually be knighted. (NT) -- FF, Tuesday, January 13, 01:51:53pm (82-132-232-194.dab.02.net/82.132.232.194)

- Your memory is ridiculous! But you are right. Very similar situation. Also, I reckon I might be lost down a rabbit hole with that youtube channel. Looks like he took the end of season video cassettes from the 96-97 and 97-98 seasons and cut them up onto youtube. A treasure trove of some of my happiest Fulham memories in one place.

See Iwobi and Bassey getting outstanding reviews for their performances at the tournament. Let’s hope they can bring this fo back and hit the ground running to help us push on after this tournament ends. COY

- How long do people reckon it'll take for us to get them back? Now that Nigeria are in the semis, the earliest their contribution can end is this Saturday (Jan 17) as there is a match for the losing semi-finalists then. The final is this Sunday (Jan 18).

- They're just a 3 hour flight away with no jet-lag aspect, so no reason not to be ready to start v Brighton if necessary. But scant time for mental adjustment, making a valid but also convenient reason for having them on the bench instead. Take things from there for subsequent matches.

- Be great to have them back for Brighton. It is a 20 man game now, not something I agree with as it helps the bigger clubs further, making many matches decided by who you can bring off the bench. If you add the AFCON boys and those currently injured, our squad is rather stronger than some feared, with reports of our potential demise greatly exaggerated. (NT) -- Rupert, Tuesday, January 13, 12:00:19pm (97e45270.skybroadband.com/151.228.82.112)
- Agreed. By the end of the week Nigeria will have played 8 fixtures, with our guys leaving Fulham after the Burnley match. They have played 6 so far. Bassey has played in 5, Iwobi 4, Chuckwaeze 3 (1 sub). In the same amount of time we will also have played 8 fixtures, having played 7 so far. In those 7 the appearances of the players they "back up" are: ESR 7, Wilson 7 (1 sub), Lukic 7 (2 sub), Kevin 7 (2 sub), Berge 7 (2 sub), Cuenca 6. The Nigerians have had it (comparably) easy!

I think Cuenca has done well since he came in for Bassey and I think he will improve further with games though not 100% who will get the nod when Bassey returns tough call for Marco. Also noted there is interest in Bassey from Italy not sure how credible that is.

- Indeed it is! The only one who I would argue should get straight back in the side is Iwobi. Cairney has been excellent in the role, but Iwobi has been one of the best performers at AFCON in essentially the same role. And even then it's a very close call. I think both Cuenca and Diop have done enough to retain their place over Bassey. Similarly, no way Chuckwaeze takes over from Wilson, and I don't really think he was signed for the left-forward spot.

- "Run of games" -- Fkev, Sunday, January 11, 02:18:00pm (88.56.159.143.dyn.plus.net/143.159.56.88)
Just goes to show how important a run of games are for a bit-part player to showcase their true ability. Wilson has been with us now for almost 5 years but mostly been used as an impact sub, only starting when there are injuries or used in cups. This season is the first he's been a regular starter and I would think he's turned himself into the 1st name on Silva's teamsheet. One of the best players in the entire league at present and I doubt many of us saw that coming.
Ditto ESR who, with a run of starts has started to demonstrate he's worth the hefty pricetag, after a disappointing first season. He's built his fitness and isn't getting subbed after 60 mins when he does start.
Conversely, you could say the same for Josh King, who started in that position at the start of the season and looked like a worldbeater - a star in the making for sure. When he lost his starting place and then featured as a sub, he looked a different player, well off the pace and shadow of the game-starter from a few months previously. Perhaps 2 such talented players vying for the same number 10 position has driven them both to new heights.
Confidence and and fitness are the main drivers in the elusive "form" that seems to drift in and out for most players at points in their career. What a joy it is to watch Wilson at the very peak of his trade at present and I very much hope we can tie him down to a new and lucrative contract. He deserves it.

I enjoyed yesterday at the cottage knowing the decision on field would be the final one. We discussed it at half time. For me - bin it. It is not really the inconsistency but it is time taken out of the game to review every decision.It is a simple yes or no to VAR. What do you think?

Harry's agent would be bound to advise him to wait till the summer to see if any such clubs bite. If they do (as now to be feared), he'll want to know how much game time could be expected, chances of silverware etc. Then decide whether to stick or twist. Insurance in case of injury disaster would be his only hard-headed reason not to wait. (NT) -- b+w g., Sunday, January 11, 11:23:14am (host86-131-123-27.range86-131.btcentralplus.com/86.131.123.27)

- Absolutely correct on what he's likely being advised to do. I can't remember the last time a player in their final year signed before the contract expired. It just makes no sense to do that vs opening a bidding war for wages and sign on free. Usually I'd say that means he's a goner. But much like Tete last summer, I'm not sure. His age is going to severely limit his opportunities with big clubs. (NT) -- eganonoa, Sunday, January 11, 11:43:44am (cable-146-255-156-96.dynamic.telemach.ba/146.255.156.96)

- Why Marco Silva should not be supported for encouraging the club to pay 40m euros for Kevin when he was realistically worth half that at most . And why the demands for players in early doors in January are even worse , literally inviting selling clubs to ramp the price when Fulham calls . It’s because Fulham have lower revenues than many clubs that we shouldn’t waste money on hype and , incidently , we shouldn’t sell players like Pereira on the cheap .

How good was that, being able to celebrate a goal as soon as the ref pointed back to the centre circle. Sure the first goal would have caused a long var check with the position of Raul. That cross from Harry was outrageous, seeing any Fulham player in this kind of form rare and it's a joy to watch.

Do think I've ever seen a player look so relieved to get a goal. He could barely celebrate! It was definitely getting a bit desperate. You could almost hear his thoughts every time he got the ball near the goal: "THIS IS IT!"
Marco's post match interview makes it sound like there was a concerted effort from the team (maybe even an instruction) to get him on the score sheet. He talked about how everyone in the side was looking for it from him.
A bit like Smith Rowe and the struggles he had finishing a match, perhaps with that monkey off his back, maybe he'll really move forward now. He's been very impressive with his work rate and defensive work, and clearly has the talent.
Final thing about his goal, what an outrageous assist from Wilson! Its really getting ridiculous with him right now. A goal and an assist with his right foot. Every time he has the ball and a tiny bit of space it seems nearly certain he'll score. And now he's taking the piss with "crosses" like that!

- It's great to see him see him find the back of the net as the pressure to perform must be weighing heavily on his shoulders. The €40 million has obviously nothing to do with him, but such a price tag does carry with it huge expectation. It would be interesting to see how a short term championship loan helps his development - he'd be potentially unplayable at that level which would do his confidence the world of good.

- It reminded me of barry hayles, who had a similarly frustrating goalless spell after a massive (for the division) transfer fee.

- Very easy to assess attacking players on attacking output and defenders vice versa, but I’ve maintained for a while now Kevin has a brilliant attitude and work rate. He knows if he doesn’t put in a shift and cover Robbo at times Silvs won’t have him and he now does that. Around 80mind Robbo was caught up field, they tried to play a ball in that channel and Kevin was in a perfect LB defensive position, was great to see.

Do you think that Marco picked the starting 11 to show the bosses that we have players who are not of the required standard? Reed, The Streaky One and Mr T are Championship material if that.
I remember when Keegan came I realised we were going places when I looked at the bench and saw players who previously would be first choice and could change the game when they came on. Putting Mr T et al on the pitch late on is a "Why Not? gesture. We need that kind of improvement with this window. Just a few, of proper quality.

- No I don't and no they're not. Don't know who "the streaky one" is but Reed and Adama are better than "Championship standard" and even if they were having your 5th choice winger and central midfielder at that level wouldn't be bad at all. He picked that side to rotate and give players a chance. He did that throughout the early rounds of the League Cup and did the very same in both cups every year before. Oh, and we won comfortably.

We looked so ropey until the subs came on. Ansare and Traore very unimpressive. If West Ham really want Traore we should take any cash they offer. Sess, Lukic, Smith- Rowe tried to make things happen but nothing really did. Kevin had at least two men marking him but looked poor. I hope the goal will start him up.
We really could do with another striker with Raul leaving. Doubt if a decent one is available in January.
Drawing with the Scousers, a Reed wonder goal, beating the Rubbish down the road and getting through in the Cup. I would havetaken that last Saturday night if offered.
Get Silva, Sess and Wilson signed up ASAP bigger priority than a new signing this Jan.
Onwards and hopefully upwards! CO Y W.

Of course main prorities IS to get WILSON AND SESS on new long term contracts as well as the main man MARCO.
Chucks is also someone we need to take his option UP on sooner than later.
but as of this month we should sell ADAMA this window,,, its time to accept whatever bid SPAM or anyone else is offering for A PLAYER with less than 6 months leff... IWOBI and CHUCKS impending return , with Sess and Kevin also here AS wing options means We NEED TO CASH IN
sell HERO Reedy... again Iwobi will return AND with TC here. Reedy is just blocking Ridegon from game time. So reluctantly we NEED to cash in on his current high profile and SELL to any bidders
Well thats about it in terms of OUTS.
Others like Jimenez, TC, Diop, Kusi and Lecombte get another 6 months to Show us thier worth before summer decisions!

- I like him. It's a very risky market to operate in. How easy is it to flip a £35 million pound player for a profit? And if we cannot sell for a profit it might indicate that the player has not lived up to expectations. Secondly, look at Bournemouth.

- I like him. Very talented, exceptional skill. Needs time, but already sense he has the character to be a success. Think his head dropped for a while, but seems to have got through that and looks perkier. One thing I think he needs to work on (though admittedly I'm not a professional football coach) is he needs to stop grinding to a halt before trying to beat defenders. He slows the game down to walking football pace sometimes, when a bit of speed and quicker thinking may make it easier... (NT) -- k, Friday, January 09, 11:00:18am (NoHost/90.204.91.94)
- He's going to be very good. When he signed, I doubted he'd be a regular team member until mid-season and even then whether he'd be a guaranteed starter until the following year. He's young and from a much different league. These players rarely just come in and run rampant. There's a reason Marco always calls for established pros. Outside of certain clubs fans, journos, owners, etc. rarely have the patience needed and pile too much pressure on the player and coaches for immediate results.

- He brings a bit of that 'X factor' that we have been missing for a while, a player that when they touch the ball makes you get out of your seat. At the moment you can tell he is very raw, decision making is poor at times but improving. Things that go a bit unnoticed is he has a really good first touch and his crossing (both feet) is actually really good, with lots of variety. Agree that off the bench is best for now as uses his skills set better at the moment. (NT) -- I like him, Friday, January 09, 11:34:28am (82-132-231-139.dab.02.net/82.132.231.139)

Plesantly surprised we are mid table picking up an average nearly 1.5 points per match while suffering less than adequate officials and without the Nigerian trio.
Football is about competing for a significant trophy. Saturday is another chance for emulating 1975 when trotting out at Wembley with little hope of lifting the silver. Alec Stock take a bow, winning all the away replays was oh so very very special. However, West Ham and England leftie Martin Peters at the time was a bridge too far.
Marco Silva knows he is two quality players short from having a truly good squad but we live hoping one day perhaps Saturday will start to be our time.

Fulham is interested in Inter Miami's 22-year-old midfielder and Venezuela international Telasco Segovia, while Real Betis have also renewed their interest in the player. Segovia, who has 16 caps and 2 goals for his country, joined the MLS club in January 2025 from Casa Pia for a reported fee of €2.5 million. His current contract runs until December 2029. According to Transfermarkt, he has a market value of €4.50m.

- Robinson's Impact -- eganonoa, Thursday, January 08, 11:51:43am (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
Lot's of positive statements being made of late, with which I agree, on the strength of our squad and the quality of our manager in this remarkable run of form. What's unsaid is that this run coincides precisely with Robinson's return in the team.
Can one left-back really have such an impact? Yesterday, Kevin and Sess looked incredible together and Sess had done a more than passable job at left-back in Robinson's absence. He definitely offers more of a direct goal threat. Surely, the gains you get with Robinson (slightly better defensive numbers, much better width and ball progression) aren't enough to radically transform the team?
Yet that's certainly what it looks like. We have four wins, two draws in the league since Robinson returned, following three wins and three defeats in the prior six. And this during a period where we've had up to 7 front-line players out. Obviously it can't be all Robinson. The Raul-Wilson partnership has been massive, as has settling on a system with Berge sitting deep and playing through him. The resurgence of ESR and Cairney has also been huge. And Cuenca replacing Bassey seems to have been similarly important.
But still, it does seem to me that Robinson's return has been the catalyst that has allowed all these things to fall into place.

- It's probably too simplistic to say it's just one thing. There's been a load of factors that have contributed, biggest of all for me is that Leno has definitely looked more like his old self since the burnley game. He just wasn't making routine saves at the beginning of the season. Add in ESR hitting his best form, Wilson's purple patch and Cuenca looking like a step up on Bassey, i'm pretty certain it's not just Robbo being back.

- He doesnt say that though, says it isn’t all down to Robinson and lists other factors, but I am with him that that has been the variable that’s changed, therefore it’s reasonable to suggest that’s the most obvious reason (among others) for the uptick.

- Yep, I list all of those bar Leno in my post. But I can't escape the possibility that Robinson has facilitated much of these. Does Cuenca look better than Bassey because he has Robinson next to him, not Sess? Does Leno look more confident because he's less unsure of his left side? Does ESR look better not having any need to provide width on the left? Is Wilson able to further hit his stride because Robinson's natural width means the team can shift a bit right to provide more support over there?

- Yes great shout and what is hard to quantify and makes such a difference is these games have all been dig in and find a way wins, I believe his ability just to get us up the pitch is so vital. When we are getting pushed back that ability to be aggressive and win a turnover or one of those latter stage bursting runs forward just to turn the momentum and get us some territory.

- I disagree in part. If you look at where our goals conceded have come from since his return, it has been largely down his side. We have tightened up yes but we have also switched to a back five.

It is always great to beat our closest London neighbours, but when you do it without potentially 6 first team regulars it shows how well Marco has managed the team. To stretch our unbeaten run in a period where there were so many games is truly a testament to the squad. I couldn't fault any of them last night. Robinson to play so many games after returning from injury worked tirelessly. Esr did well moving the ball quickly, Raul what an effort from a 34 year old. Tc so composed again. Sess and Kevin both did well when they came on and Diop Cuenca and Andersen were again very good. All in all a great night for us all.

Want to hold my hands up and admit my prediction of a Relegation scrap due to our Christmas fixture list and missing AFCON players was wide of the mark. Fair play to Marco’s coaching staff and the Squad of players who have all performed so consistently with great team and work ethic, players like ESR, Harry, Cuenca,Lukic, & TC. have all taken on the added Responsibility left by the AFCON players. Lastly Marco has been Fantastic Tactically and he’s handling of players. A new Contract should be stuck in front of him within the few Days hopefully.

Great result though, thought Sess & Kevin combined really well when they came on. Robinson is miles off it at the moment.

Has there ever been a more clinical finisher who has played for Fulham. Of course he’s in a great run of form that won’t last forever, but i can’t think of a player that I’ve felt so confident about when the ball falls to him 10-20 yards out. Just feels when he has it set on his left foot anywhere within 20 yards it’s almost expectant that he’ll score, cairney had that feel on occasions, when it was almost disappointing if it didn’t find its way into the corner from his left foot, but that’s more long shooting, the way Wilson’s first touch and movement creates the space is just so clinical and efficient.

About time Howard Webb came to Fulham & explained the decision making of the referees during our matches.
Chelsea was a penalty even Dean & Hackett agreed
Liverpool Witz offside even Carragher said so & former refs, it's starting to look like intentional bias on behalf of VAR which is not fit for purpose.

Apparently Crystal Palace will listen to offers for Mateta with a view to replace him with Panschelli. This guy looks good and carries a price tag of about £20m. I wouldn’t mind it if we took a look at him instead of this nonsense over Strand Larson (valued at £40m) whose minutes to goal is far worse than Rauls or the supposed £35m required to even start talks over Pepe.
