I’m only basing that off our recent game, you were shit then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that was just a major off-day. First goal went in then heads just dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted February 15, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted February 15, 2018 It always disappoints me when a club does tail off a bit after a good cup performance as the two just get automatically linked to each other regardless of everything else, and it fuels the whole demise of the cup in general. There's such a common belief now that you can only do well in the league or the cup. I remember us beating Fulham 4-3 in a ridiculous League Cup game, one that you really think could've taken the energy out of the players ahead of a very tough game that weekend at Watford, and we went and won there 0-3. On the flip side, last season Bournemouth were thumped at Millwall in the FA Cup, people gave the whole focus on the league talk, and they went on their worst top flight run yet. I get that there are going to be some links in terms of fatigue, possibly cockiness, but I do dislike this culture of the cups being treated like shit.

Fairy In Boots 607 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Momentum is more important than rest to the squad, it’s about squad depth and resource management. Cups have still been dominated by the top 4-5 clubs over 20 years now. There’s weird results ie Wigan, Pompey Leicester but it’s mainly the top clubs beating an also ran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,383 Posted April 10, 2018 Administrator Share Posted April 10, 2018 You gotta say Fulham deserve this 2nd spot. What a run they've been on. As @Lucas alluded to in the match thread, will be interesting to see if they can handle being chased as opposed to doing the chasing. I hope they continue the momentum to see them over the line though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'd love to get it, I think the Christmas period will come back to bite us and the likes of Derby and Villa are flying atm. Called it.

Even though we had an 8 match winning streak, when you have opposition on such ridiculous form as that, there's not really a lot you can do.

Danny 2,206 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I've gotta believe we'll beat Fulham. My head tells me we won't but my heart says we've done it once this season and we've a group of players who are used to beating them/don't fear them. It'd also just make sense that they're unbeatable and we look out of the play offs and then all of sudden we beat them and are knocking on the door. Alternatively in their current form they may just pump us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
