I'd be seriously worried if I were a Fulham fan right now. Not at the races at all today and now bottom.

"Sacked in the morning" got a good run-out! :tongue:

Who even are these people? Has everyone from last season left? There's about 3/4 names on that teamsheet who i've heard of before. Norwich and Cardiff have largely kept their squads together from last season, whereas Fulham seem to be playing a team of kids/foreigners with no experience of English football. Doubt Magath will stay there for much longer.
Wolves are becoming dangerously promising... Stahhhp

Top of table and looking promising so far :smile: Forest look dangerous!
Check out the top of the table last year at this stage, only QPR were in the top six then and still were come the end of the season. Ten games in will be the first opportunity to tell where teams might end up.

Exactly, it means nothing at the moment. Way too much attention is paid to August league tables.

''Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino said he was poised to sack head coach Dave Hockaday after Saturday's defeat at Watford but changed his mind''

I honestly feel sorry for their fans.

The one on here said at the time he'd rather have him than go into administration. Seems a muchness of a muchness to me.

I put a lot on him to hire Malky Mackay as the next manager,
Barnet won 4-0 today. Looking a good start, apart from the Lincoln game where the opposition manager used jelly beans to explain his tactics to the players.

I'm sure I heard that there were about 15 departures this summer and they've basically replaced them all with youngsters from their youth academy. Fair play for doing that but it's obviously way too much too soon. They just weren't good enough on Saturday.

I have heard of a couple of them though. Definitely some future talent there.


By the way, I wrote a match report about the game too, if anyone wants to have a read :smile:

At least Fulham are set financially. Doubt the youngsters are on much, they will survive this year easily. Way too many clubs coming down from PL spend all the parachute money getting back up at the first opportunity.

They spent most of this year's instalment on an overweight striker being played as a winger.

I wouldn't worry if I were them. Another 3 years of Scudamore payments to the tune of £48m will still go their way.

I really hope we beat them tonight. It's been way too long since we played Fulham competitively.
How's Freedman still in a job?

Yes, really think this will be Forests year. Hoping Norwich can follow them (and they look strong to), Leicester stay up, then I get two PL local games next year.
Much as I don't like MK Dons, this is hilarious. 4-0 up against Man Utd now.
