We could do with some more creative players on the pitch, Tanaka, Buonanotte, or Gnonto.

This is drab.

He can fill a hole defensively, but we need more going forward. At the moment it's all down to Aaronson, and they are just surrounding him.

I would take off Okafor at the half. Bring on Buonanotte and move Aaronson to the left sided forward spot.

Not like for like though, Tanaka would be the player for that. Think Gruev is a defensive move

Boring game tbf, one chance really for either side

Good defence from Justin, Wilson had position there. Corner

Tanaka on for Gruev and Buonanotte for Okafor at halftime. But no chance of Daniel doing that.

Halfchance from the corner, think it hit Rodon's shoulder...

0-0. Not much interest in what's been a dour game elacking quality

Not bad but not good, just not looking coherent in attack at all, missing a midfielder with some vision - Farke will keep it the same for now

Need more from Bogle and Okafor as Aaronson and DCL have been on islands so far.

Game lacks quality on both sides.

Moments where composure is needed has been devoid for both us and Fulham.

Game reminds me of early season games where were well in it.

It looks like both sides are one error away from conceding.

Saying that if Brendy boy had a bit more composure we would be one up and happy.

I’d add Bogle off for Bornauw if he can’t get with it. Would bring Justin to the RWB spot. He’s been superb.

They’ve been up for it though, more than I thought they might.
I knew they’d be easy on the eye but was expecting them to fold under pressure.
