Unbelievable.

Well, where to begin…
Hodgson not using any subs? AJ proving to be a bust? Dempsey vindicated for wanting out? No goals from open play in over 5 hours of game time?
Lets start with AJ, because his stupidity caused this mess. When we was signed for 10 million pounds this past summer, I was extremely skeptical. Not because I didn’t think he wouldn’t produce (which I didn’t), but because when a club of this size makes an investment of that size, it just never works out. I figured unless AJ scores 15 goals this season he was going to be a bust — simple economics.
Well, he’s already well on his way to being bust-tastic. Four starts, no goals, one red card. Welcome back Steve Martlett!
Which brings us to Hodgson’s questionable tactics. There’s no doubt Fulham outplayed West Ham, and deserved at least a point. And Fulham had numerous chances to put four or five goals in the net. But when you go down to 10 men and its probable to claw your way back into the match, why don’t you make any subs??. I found this definition, that Woy I guess has forgotten in the past two matches, matches the club could have easily come away with something from:
substitute; n: a person or thing that takes or can take the place of another
So when everyone looks totally gassed does Dempsey, Nevland, Seol, Andreasen, or the other 30 subs that are on the bench this year not get any minutes? How does this make sense!?!? And I’m not buying his explanation, there’s no excuse to do this two matches in a row.
This month the club got three out of at minimum five points. I expect 8 next month, and for that to happen things need to change. Which includes people coming off the bench.
But hey, at least we’re not Newcastle!

I couldnt agree more with you Tim, roy needs to use the bench more and players like neveland and dempsy to be given more of a chance as they have proven themselves before.. more importantly lets try and hold on to bullard at christmas and hope we can push for a top 13 position in the league

Well, Roy switched it up today and the results still weren’t favorable.
I’m throwing up my hands on this team.
