Wasn't anyone's greatest night, Harris included, but think that's a bit harsh on him. We are trying to play more football and have but we still don't look as confident as is required and unless we are on it, like tonight it often just looks slow and predictable.
Against Fulham we probably need to go full on direct with the squad we have.
Home game and we had 3 efforts on goal.
Nowhere near good enough. As skint as Swansea are, they have Brewster, Ayew and others who all threaten the goal.
We try hard but have very little threat and the opposition works that out fairly early.
My heart says no promotion this year is a financial loss but my head says we may have embarrassed ourselves.
Beaten by the better side but had our chances.
Neil Harris's poor record against Fulham goes on and for us to may the playoffs from here would be nothing short of a miracle.
The good news though is that if the unthinkable happens on Wednesday, Fulham will be a hard but to crack, even with another Keith Stroud officiating.
By the way that is not a huge criticism. What I am saying is continue to build a better championship team and change the style to something akin to modern day football, and before anyone comes back, it does not have to be “tippy tappy” as some refer to it.
I mean the style of football played by just about every successful side these days
I’m sorry but making excuses for Fulham,
BRENTFORD and the JB’s being better placed for success than us, a Premier League side last year, is laughable!
How can Brentford bringing in skilful players over the last few years or Swansea having a superior scouting network, be reasons for them being better than us?
I’m not having a go at you Q Monky but I just don’t think that those teams have such significantly superior players than ours. I just don’t. I think that our players are at least as good as theirs.
I wanted sixth but if we missed out I wouldn't have been too distraught as I could see something like this happening in the play offs coming a mile off.
It is just the manner of the defeat. Even at 1-0 it seemed like we were still settling for it.
Yes Fulham were good but a lack of any enthusiastic pressing makes these sort of teams look that much better.
Yes, we might have conceded another and it would have been game over but we could well have nicked one back.
As it is we conceded anyway with our lacklustre performance and the tie is dead in the water anyway.
I can take losing but not giving it a good go is unforgivable.
Fulham deserved it.
We needed to score early which we should have.
After that I thought we were too cautious and played into Fulham"s hands. Their defence is nothing special and will be found out in the Prem. Their best players are in midfield and up top.
Never mind. Harris has the basis of a decent squad for next season.
Sorry Bobby but I agree with Delboy's mate. Harris has tried to play a bit, especially since lockdown.
I would also add that even though the two goals came from individual brilliance, they were better than us in nearly every position.
It could have been a different story had we gone ahead but even if we had, I still think that Fulham would have dominated us.
There may be a bit of a mental block with Harris not having won a game in seven (was it?) but sometimes the players do things they aren't coached to do just because of the quality of opposition.
Shades of Blackburn that second half performance.
A real shame as Cardiff started off so brightly and despite Fulham playing their way into the game by half time I was still fairly optimistic of Cardiff's chances. But that second half... They never got going and never had a look in.
Harris tends to wait for the drinks break by then Cardiff had pretty much been without the ball since the second half kicked off. The game needed a much needed change, but having Vaulks and Pack on the pitch does not work in my opinion. Tomlin like many of his peers was made into a passenger during that second half.
They've left it all to do Thursday night, against a Fulham who are still yet to field top scorer Mitrovic. Well be interested to see if Harris takes a conservative approach or goes for broke.
Agreed but then I would have to ask “is Harris right to take us into the future” and perhaps change things.
Don’t get me wrong, I have had to eat my words as I was very critical of the appointment and thought it lacked ambition by the club, however, he has done very well to get us into the top 6
I'm struggling to understand how anyone can have watched us play against Fulham a few weeks ago and again tonight and conclude that they don't have better players than us.
