Guest Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Never in a million years did Garry put a team out to win yesterday Basically gave Fulham a free pass to the next round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 We played the right team yesterday. We took no unnecessary risks with our more important players and gave valuable game time to youngsters. An injury to anyone critical to our chances of staying up would have been nothing short of negligent. Monk on the money again IMO. And, you only need to see the reactions from those kids and the response on social media to see what a win that was for both them and the club. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go as far as to describe it as 'a good way to get knocked out' I'd have much rather Fulham have picked a weaker side as well and seen us upset them. As you say though it would be harsh to be too critical of the side Monk picked and great to see the youngsters give it a go in a competitive game where the result wasn't vital. They didn't disgrace themselves and if anything a few of the senior players let them down with their own performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean with the word choice, there's no good way to lose and I'm sure Monk will feel that. Anyone that's played professional sport didn't achieve that by being ok with losing. Fulham actually put out a strong team, bloody inconsiderate!!! What pleased me was we were still recognisable in the way we've been playing recently despite all the changes and as you say if anything, older heads were the disappointments not the kids. He made the right calls for the right reasons though which I can't be critical of because we need to start being smarter in all departments.

OxonOwl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 We wanted to get prepared for avoiding relegation. The cup is completely irrelevant. If players got experience and are better prepared for playing first team football, that's all we wanted. Staying up is ALL that matters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beighton Owl 87 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Its possibly the least bothered I've been about a defeat. Much bigger fish to fry this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I don't think we took the Fulham match 100% seriously which is slightly frustrating but understand the reasons why and plenty of other clubs have done similar in early stage cup ties.
