Fall Doldrums
By: timmyg | October 4th, 2008
Thank God its only October.
Because after tomorrow Fulham could, albeit unlikely, drop to 19th position.
Which is shocking reality considering the quality of play the club displayed at the opening gong. Nothing was to come of Hull City, I knew that. But Arsenal was no aberration. The comeback against Leicester was epic. Bolton was easily and rightfully swept aside.
Yet all this went out the window when Hodgson went catatonic two weeks ago, didn’t recover last week when AJ tried too hard,and then today where Woy actually woke up but the club took his place in the realm of unconsciousness.
So, for the first time ever, I think I am excited about the upcoming international break. Because, hopefully, the club will regroup and refocus themselves for the next extremely vital string of matches.
They simply have to.
After this string of misfortune, I want to see change. I want Murphy benched. I want Dempsey starting. I want Konchesky dropped. I want Davies to get out of his rut, and Gera to grow some balls. I want Hodgson trying new things and having them play with the same sense of urgency that saw the club rattle off three straight victories to close out last years campaign and survive.
I want this all because the club has not scored from open play in almost seven hours. Because the club is just hovering above the relegation zone, yet playing light-years ahead of what it was doing under Sanchez (who at this time last year had the team higher, and actually scoring).
Which is why I’m happy its October. Because there’s still time. There’s no reason the club shouldn’t be in the top half of the table come May.
