Parker deserved what he got. You shit on fans expect it to come back.
Plus i dont get this you would have done it too brigade.
My Company has invested in me heavily over the years and i have had many better offers to move on which i haven't t. Its called LOYALTY.
Dont forget this prick refused to play for us cos his head had gone.
He was 6 months into a 5 year contract when he spat his dummy out and was knocking on Richard Murrays door for a move while we were still leaving trhe ground against Wolverhampton.
I for one am glad he has won nothing in his career.
Theres only one greedy bastard. Well done to the fans last night for reminding him.
Like Cabbles the alarm bells started to ring when Igor couldn't beat Burns in a sprint for the ball from a level start. would love to chat to one of the backroom medical staff and find out what's going on ? he has lost a yard or two of pace since the first half of the season.
After the last 2 games maybe we have under rated Yoni Buyens because not to win any of the six games he has missed shows his influence. Just like when we couldn't win a game when Henderson was missing.
Why did we give Parker so much space again ?
In the 1st half i thought Scott must have terrible BO because no one got anywhere near him ?
Roger Johnson had a crazy time with some comical defending, yet our results have improved since he came in, but it's quite clear that the best CB pairing will be Joe Gomez and Johnson/TBH/ Bikey or Lennon for next season as long as Solly is fit.
Why don't we give Lennon minutes on the field now we're safe as well as Aherne-Grant instead of Church.
No championship match should every be meaning less, even if we you give youngsters a chance to gain some experience.
Stephen Henderson was the reason we didn't lose last night and has been fantastic all season. For his and for CAFC fans sake let's hope he stays fit to show what a good Championship keeper he is.
Johnson was also responsible on several occasions for dropping back off the back four line and playing Fulham onside. It's frustrating because he has a lot of good qualites - somehow need to get him to focus for the full 90.
Cousins could do worse than watch a video of Parker's performance yesterday and from it perhaps learn about finding space and making a pass.
I agree but they're different players. If Cousins is going to play that deeper role then he'll need someone a bit more creative ahead of him, a number ten type player. That is not Diarra or Buyens and we do not have a player like that at the moment.
Think back to the Cardiff game, when Gudmundsson moved in to the middle in the second half. That was the best performance by a Charlton midfielder this season IMO.
Gudmundsson is perfect for the middle if we can get decent replacements on the wing.
Couldn't work out what was wrong with Watt & Vetokele up front. Both seemed either demotivated, knackered or injured and a couple of times they showed frustration over a misplaced pass or a playing-in pass that didn't come that should have or a run that should have happened by their oppo but didn't (realise that is probably normal for a front two pairing but to a lesser degree). It didn't seem like the communication was at all good between them. They weren't working for each other as I would have expected.
If there is a problem there with Igor & Tony then Luzon needs to sort it out for next season as they are vital for us.
At one point I was wondering if Watt had a slight niggle with his hamstring or quad when he simply stopped running for a through ball into the channels that he might well have got had he kept going. Rather out of character for him, anyway.
We should have had the game won in the first half but by the end we were only really good for a draw.
Not sure why Bulot went off as I thought he was playing well.
Fulham closed us down well in midfield, gave us little time on the ball and, in particular, did well to surround JBG in numbers whenever he looked to cut inside.
I thought we were lacking in our link & support play to the front two from midfield and not whipping the ball in quickly enough from the flanks - especially low drives into the 6 yard zone which caused Fulham big problems rather than high balls which they were picking off with ease.
Fulham used the channels better and that last minute shot which went wide would probably have broken our net had it gone in.
The issue with Watt and Igor could very well be nothing more than tiredness. Watt had a pretty long period without a lot of game time, Igor's had an injury to deal with, playing two games in five days after a bit of a scrappy season might well be getting to them. Not to mention both have quite a lot of running to do, it could just be catching up.
Anyone who says Parker was crap really hasn't a scooby what they were talking about. Yes he hasn't got the engine that he had 15 years ago, but that is kind of irrelevent because Fulham play with a very central three. As a result, it was no surprise they bossed the middle and had more room.
Parker's role is essentially to keep them ticking and stop us playing. He made 109 passes last night with an 88% pass completion, wheras Diarra made 64 passes with a 77% completion, and Cousins made 70 passes with a 73% completion.
Fulham also had 58% possession and 13 chances to our 6. Boss it we did not.

Yes, Parker was everywhere, doing the simple stuff very effectively, a bit like Carrick does for Man U
Firstly, not sure anybody could claim the game was anything other than poor. But I do think the sharpness and energy from the front two was a bit missing and we need that to look good. I think Watt tried a few runs, but they weren't really in the right places, giving him a bit much to do. Igor looked a little short of pace. Maybe the Fulham defence were just more comfortable against them than other defences are. Also, what we can sometimes do, is play in front of opponents. So we pass, pass, pass and it is slow balls, not quick incisive balls. When we did get an early whipped in cross we scored, but too often we took too long to get the ball in the dangerous areas. It was a bit too deliberate. A good comparison was the Reading game. We played like yesterday in the first half in that game, then upped the tempo and intensity in the second, Yesterday, we kept playing the same way.
Fulham sensed with 20 mins to go that they could get three points, but they were not that good up front and neither keeper had to make anything above standard saves.
As others have said, typical end of season type game. Difference was that Fulham had something to fight for and we didn't, and that showed in the tackles and the work rate. A draw was a fair result but we couldn't have complained much if they had snatched the 3 points with that chance near the end. Fulham have a big and good quality squad and they shouldn't really be struggling in the lower reaches of our division.
I hope we can pick up a bit of our pre-internationals break spark and form or it could be a rather tedious end to what has been overall, a very interesting season.

Parker was absolutely central to the way they play wasn't he. Made me wonder what the hell they do when he's out. Lose, I suppose :-) Having said that he was happy most of the time to play the ball around just in front of their defence, and we seemed to be happy just to let him get on with it. What he doesn't do, and maybe no longer can, is make those lung bursting driving runs at the opposition that we so used to love.
Haven't had a chance to see any tv replays yet but was our goal offside. It just didn't look quite right to me. I normally jump straight up from my seat when we score, but I was not sure it was going to be given.
As mentioned in an earlier post the goal scored by Gudmunson, if offside, wipes the slate clean for Graham Polls cock up when we last played Fulham in the Premier League when he gave a free kick for handball to Fulham when it clearly struck the Fulham players hand. The result was an equalizer from the free kick. This is just one of the many injustices I am ticking off ( Mick Russell owes us a few already!! ).

Not really the same, as that result contributed to Charlton being relegated from the Premiership. The Poll decision and Zheng Zi missing at Manchester City were the key moments. Not much riding on yesterdays game.

For the offside from what I could tell JBG was behind the ball itself when Fox crossed. Bulot tried but failed to touch the ball, it fell to the incoming JBG who finished. It is of course a question of whether Bulot was seeking to gain and advantage (score) or interfering with play (putting the keeper off), and the interpretation of all this has been confused by the directives and interpretations of that aspect of offside. JBG himself wasn't offside, but in my opinion Bulot was in the opponents half, with less than two players between him and the goal, in front of the ball, seeking to gain and advantage, and interfering with play. The only thing in Bulot's favour was he didn't touch the ball, but is was a poor interpretation of the law, but as it was in our favour I don't give a chite.

But imagine if we had defended the resulting free kick.....? Why is everything always someone else fault?
I don't want to get into the whole Scotty debate again, as people seem to have some pretty entrenched views on the subject.
Suffice to say that I wouldn't boo him, but if Messrs Pardew, Hasselbaink, Traore, Faye, M.Bent, Jeffers, Diawara (and possibly others), ever made an appearance then I think that given their pitiful contribution to our demise, then they would be entitled to a less than enthusiastic reception.
Spot on mate, scotty gave 100% effort every game that I saw. Unlike that dubious bunch of expensive misfits above.

Plus i dont get this you would have done it too brigade.
My Company has invested in me heavily over the years and i have had many better offers to move on which i haven't t. Its called LOYALTY.
Dont forget this prick refused to play for us cos his head had gone.
He was 6 months into a 5 year contract when he spat his dummy out and was knocking on Richard Murrays door for a move while we were still leaving trhe ground against Wolverhampton.
I for one am glad he has won nothing in his career.

Parker was getting a lot of ball, confirmed by AFKA's stats.

average 2nd half
More like watching CAFC when Peeters was in charge
Too many pass backs.

..for an ex England midfielder.
Go Go Cousins, Fox, Gomez, KAG et al. Tremendous to see the youngsters play so many games.
