That game is gone now, and I can assure the supporters myself and the players will be geared up and prepared for Saturday and put in a performance that will wash away todays bitter disappointment."Hows about that?

SeattleCanary 0 Posted December 26, 2013 You''re a bit of a sad case fella. How about he tries to maintain a little dignity, and show respect to the supporters?You know my response is the kind of thing you should expect from a manager that has by his lack of silence, condoned such poor performances in the media.

Darth Catbeard The Old 0 Posted December 27, 2013 This was a huge game and we really didn''t look bothered. That is Hughton''s fault today,a win today would have seen us comfortable, instead we ambled out arrogantly assuming we''d win without showing any determination or passion. We''re still a small fish in this league and should still treat every game like a cup final! Some performances today like Fer''s were a disgrace.

It was Boxing day, it was Fulham. Even when we scored first I almost knew how it was going to end.First half we were marginally better than them, second half most of our team barely turned up.
