Fulham were quicker, bigger Ann more robust than us. They took their chances and we didn't. WP seems very low on confidence. I do not understand why we kept putting high balls into their goal mouth as Hagland and Sendros just controlled the air. thought Solly, Wiggins, and Yann had good games but the star was Pritchard who never stopped running, tackling and passing.
The score flattered Fulham but they were the better team. Next Saturday will be different and there was enough skill on show today for our team to be proud of their efforts.
Result aside, our support was f.ing quality today. Wonder if anyone recorded 7000 addicks bouncing in the away end, standing throughout, was like a home game.
We were unlucky to go behind, and then even more unlucky to go 2-0 behind after being all over them.
Bring on Wednesday next saturday!!
Didn't hear any abuse, lets not take it out of context.
7000 fans were there, its to be expected that there are some numptys in the away end.
Proud of the boys today. That was a full strength premier league team and for parts of the game we were all over them. First time I've seen everybody standing for a long time as well...

I blame the bouncy!! 3 times it happened and we lost a goal almost immediately after it every time. Solly was brilliant and Pritchard impresses me more and more
The first half we weren't at it, seemed they were all a bit nervous and of course Fulham are a decent side, was impressed with how well they shifted the ball. Second half I thought we dominated for that opening period and if BWP had put that chance away maybe it could have been different but they were a class above (as much as it pains me), scoreline probably flattered a little but was a decent effort.
Also enjoyed giving that scumbag abuse, the highlight was when he let someone else take a corner. Personally didn't hear any abuse to his family and if so then it is out of order.

4-0 was very harsh on us, Solly was absolutely brillant and so were are fans. Everyone standing and singing. Fa cup who gives a fukc were charlton athletic and were going up.
Cracking day. Sod the score. The difference was that they had finishers and we didn't . We played some lovely stuff in Both Halfs and Solly , Pritchard and Kermigant were outstanding . Those who didn't go will look at the score and be worried - don't be. If BWP had managed to puy his chance away early in the second half It would have been so much different. In the end class told but were excellent at times, The crowd was fantastic ( didn't hear a peep from Fulham ) .
Bring on the Wendies .
Sums it up for me.
Pretty much my thoughts word for word, Beds.
One goal possibly offside, one debatable penalty, one deflection. 4-0 flattered Fulham beyond belief. This was a much better performance than Spurs last year.
Crowd was awesome, probably the best away crowd since Ipswich and Man U away cup trips. Would love to see some video from other parts of the ground.
Going to a game doesn't make you any better than the next guy ya know? Not everyone can attend every game and it shouldn't be used to make someone feel like a lesser just because they couldn't make it.

Apologies but this is maybe what I should have written originally

To be fair, I think the "did you go" comment above was aimed more at the fact that someone was posting about alleged abuse of Murphy's wife/kid, whereas most of us who were there heard nothing of the sort.
we turned up, had a go, but not to be, not to bothered but i hope players confidence not affected by result,FANS WERE GOOD BUT NEXT WEEK IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT, LETS GET UP THERE AND MAKE SURE THAT" THAT MASSIVE CLUBS FANS "ARE NOT SAYING TO US,

.... But some of you did from the above posts
Regardless of if I went or not this type of abuse is not acceptable or have I missed something ...
Did'nt hear any abuse directed towards Murphy's family. Very disapointed with the people who left at 0 3 apart from the loud mouth, pi55ed, fat farker who fell foward and used me to stop his fall. Fair play to all who stayed to clap the lads off including the sizeable crowd of Fulham supporters who did likewise. The 3 0 and offski brigade, see you at the next big local awayday. Solly and Pritchard, diffrent gravy. Why was Clint Dempsey wearing those purple tootie fruties on his plates?
Thought 4-0 was flattering to Fulham but their extra class did show in a few players.
Although we didn't score I feel like our two up front will cause almost any team in the country. Kermorgant is class. BWP looked better to me today and showed bits of his swagger that has been missing in previous games. Sure he will score soon. Solly didn't look out of place. More worryingly for me was that Wiggins was stretching his hamstring and limping off at half time. Came out for second half but was subbed off and looked to be limping again as the team applauded us.
From where I was standing it was a brilliant atmosphere. The bouncing must have looked awesome from the other side of the ground.
Another comment. If Zamora is an international footballer then so should Morrison and Taylor. Thought he was very average. Dempsey was class above anything else on the pitch.
4-0 was a bit harsh, two deflections helped them, not sure it was a pen, but at the other end so couldn't be sure.
We were much much better than last season at Spurs, there were times we had them a little worried, but their collection of premiership class players outdid us, but thats not to say we're not a good team.
Our support was non-stop, and I think the players were gutted they didn't do it for us, or at least get a goal, in my view they have nothing to be ashamed of at all...no one had a mare, and their goals were not down to us being error ridden or chite...one of those things really.
On a positive note, well for a start Solly is the real deal, Pritchard was great for 70 mins, and around then I felt the whole team lost a bit of heart, not lack of effort or fitness rather than they probably wanted to win and were feeling disappointed. Yann was very good, as was (yes IMHO) BWP, so were Jackson and Wiggy, it was good to see them together again. The rest of the team were good without being great, as I said before Solly saw off their blokes when each varied challenge was presented to him, if we fail to go up we won't keep him.
The big positive was our desire to play, no big boots out of defence, a desire to pass and work as a team...the Wednesday fans will say we play pretty tippy tappy football, but actually we can play beguiling and effective football as was evidenced today at times...credit to all for not hoofing it. We were able to measure the gap between ourselves and a decent prem team, and yes it is there (but the scoreline flattered them a bit), but the gap isn't a chasm as it felt like it was after Spurs last season.
I felt proud and encouraged, delighted there is no replay, and hoping we didn't sustain injuries. Well done the team, the management, and to all of us 7000 glory hunters too!
Proud of the performance, Not worried by the score-line at all. 2 deflected goals, and sully got his fingers to the ball first for the pen, although I can't blame the ref for giving it.
Although we definitely looked the lesser side we created decent chances throughout, which is a big positive in itself imo, an in-form, confident BWP would of bagged 2 today.
Great noise and loved the standing and Im dying to see footage of the bouncy if there's any about, and was pleased we chanted throughout, I don't care who you're facing, fulham fans were a disgrace. Didn't hear the abuse aimed at murphy's wife, but saw a man being dragged out of the crowd by police late on in the bottom right corner but I dunno what for.

Fulham were quicker, bigger Ann more robust than us. They took their chances and we didn't. WP seems very low on confidence. I do not understand why we kept putting high balls into their goal mouth as Hagland and Sendros just controlled the air. thought Solly, Wiggins, and Yann had good games but the star was Pritchard who never stopped running, tackling and passing.

Just a bit shocked that some of the posts on here are saying that IF the abuse story is true then it's good/deserved/funny
We don't want any negative press do we but it looks like we'll get it as a result of this alleged behaviour
Pretty much my thoughts word for word, Beds.

YOUR SUPPORT IS F***ING S**T

had a pretty good day out tbh, met a few lifers and had a good crack.
football wise i thought we were superb between 45-60 mins.
Pritchard & Solly were excellent.
Fulham were decent and Dempsey is different class.
Would probably stop goin football if i was a Fulham fan...awful support for their team really.
If BWP and scored to make it 1-1 then who knows......
