He doesn’t make the substitutions you clown there’s a rotation policy at cobham because of the owners

don’t you know AI is running this team and squad on ALL FRONTS

The sad thing is........you may not be too far from the the reality. Certainly the medical dept have more power than the coach.

Dashboards, the joy they have brought to our everyday lives eh?

We won't go for Guehi. I think we are linked with a couple of teenage French defenders.

Just think we needed to go into that game with our strongest back line. You can’t think it’s only Fulham so we’ll start with Gusto and Tosin.

Don’t know how Cucurella got himself so isolated but his reaction cost us the game. Even if we concede we’d still have eleven and you’d fancy our chances to get back in it.

Club looks more like an asylum every day. Rosenior has a hell of a job to make us look like a sane, well run club.

You shouldn't need to be asking that to be honest, you should already know.

Playing the f**king high line with slowest 2 centres was the problem... Kept doing it, have been caught few times this yr & it was only a matter of time again... Got away with it in conference last yr against poor teams... All teams press & the when we attack because it's so slow we get hit on break.... Simple game when you play slow sh*t & no speed in defence 🙄...why josh or Fofana not played i don't know.......Don't think even with 11 we looked like scoring...an og maybe, cos we passed back that often.....LR main job will be to get decent centres in both forward & back lines cos what we have is total dross.... looking at Newcastle v Leeds now , jeez we play like we're an Old Persons Home outfit

Exactly what I was saying let him have a go at goal if he scores we are at still in the game but he pulled him back and it’s game over

We're not in for anyone. We cant buy until we sell

And we can’t sell until a club wants one of our misfits 😂

Can someone explain their winner. Guy clearly comes back from offside position and receives ball. Was it not considered the same phase of play?

Apparently City are interested in him and, if true, it would have to be stupid money to make Palace and him look elsewhere.

Guehi would be yet another signing from a mid table club.

We need to look for better than him.

No idea who that might be mind you ...

True, but why would better want to come to a mediocre club like us.

That's the problem, most footballers in 2026 are actually not very good

Tomori, from a 2nd place team 😄

All we can do is hope that Rosenior is a lot better at coaching than Maresca was. The UEFA transfer restrictions will limit who we can get unless we sell a few first.

Every time. You look at the line up. You see Tosin. He has a bad game. We lose. You think that’s it. He won’t play again. Couple of games later. You look at the line up. There he is. Every time.

Who would have thought it, with all the money we have spent on players we dont really need. Weve now reached our spending limit and we only have undesirable players to trade.

And all this in a just few years. Im wondering if it would have been possible to do a worse job in the player market than this?

We cannot strengthen in January. We will need a miracle or two to change things in the short term. Thank god that the standard in the Premier League is almost indistinguishable between 4th and 15th, we must thank our lucky stars that there are so many average teams around.

What an absolute sh*tshow clownfest.

I wouldnt be surprised if we are now in deficit with our promise/ commitment to sell before we buy due to maresca going and rosenior arriving. Just a small point but everything is going in the wrong direction.

Come off it, they each had a man, Cucurella lost his and let Wilson run off him. There absolutely no blame on Chalobah who was getting back but was never gonna catch up.

Chalobah had plenty of time to catch up had he not just watched Cucurella fight Wilson for the ball. Had Chalobah had any football IQ and knew for a second what was going on around him and that Wilson was basically left for dead there, he'd have rushed to help Cucurella and saved us from a silly red card.

Not saying Cucurella is not at fault, he is, but had he seen Chalobah come to help him or heard Chalobah say anything, I bet Cucurella would have just slowed things down. Watch the highlights and see how Chalobah simply runs and watches the game develop in front of him like he had to take care of somebody near him or had to mark anybody, when nobody was around him.

Palmer, Stevo, Caicedo only 3 players that would make the trophy winning machine CFC teams of recent yesteryears under the best managers football had to offer, now a squad full of bang average or sub par led by an unknown coach. TWO BOB ALL ROUND PEOPLE !!!

Down to 8th. We were lucky to stay in 5th for as long as we did.

Overall, it's just depressing watching us these days.

Said it back in August that our defence would struggle long term.

Losing Colwill, legitimately our only persistent CB, was always going to f**k us. Not going after Guehi just looking more and more stupid but that’s this football club under Clearlake.

I hate it when players pull opponents down the way Cucurella did. He was outfought and had to commit the foul as he’d have looked bad if the player went on to score. He’d rather risk the sending off than let the player beat him.

Guess what? Better to look like crap for a moment then stay on the pitch and help your team get back in the game. Now you just look like the d**khead that cost us the game.

Just watched the game. Same old crap.

Every week it’s just a countdown until one of the players inevitably messes up and costs the game in some fashion. As soon as the ball went over the top, I turned to my other half and said don’t get sent off. 3 seconds later, red card - while I’ve never seen someone hit the ground so theatrically from an arm pull, Cucurella was stupid to even engage.

Can’t even be bothered to comment on the actual match. Waste of time with these persistent first half red cards.

Pathetic. Expect nothing and yet again they disappoint. Good luck Rosenior - you’ll need it with this lot - they’re far from the sharpest tools.
