belperram9 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Best team won, without a shadow of a doubt. Fulham would give most teams in the Prem a game, Mitrovic unplayable at times. What is frustrating is they scored 2 goals from a cross/set piece rather than passing through us. I’d expected us to have dealt with both goals a lot better.

Rampage Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Would have been a fiasco next season in all likelihood but I would have taken the money and come back down for sure. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 fulham offensively are brilliant, but many premier league sides would pick them apart at the back. Fulham are a carbon copy of us in 2013/14, it's crazy how far backwards we have gone since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 A poor season would have been to continue the downward spiral after the Burton fiasco and ending the season in mid-table mediocrity. We didn't, and finished the season in fine style. Well done to Gary and the team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 1 hour ago, SaintRam said: Play-Offs were a bonus, we didn't "throw promotion away" as some will say - they were just a bit of drama as a reward for a generally successful season. Agreed. Best way I’ve seen it put but it’s still disappointing however high the odds were stacked against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Indeed they did, great shame to see us no longer have the composure and skill that they showed tonight. Hope they go up, they deserve it with that team. As much as we all hoped and prayed to make it, we didn’t deserve owt out of that game today. Inferior in every way.

Inglorius Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It's impossible to judge whether the best team won or not as we didn't even enter into a game with Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing disgusting about playing that way against them given the tools at our disposal - but it is disgusting that we have those tools at our disposal. Best player in the ground tonight downed a pint before he attended the fixture, and this time last year he was contracted to us and we sold him for a pittance. He plays for Watford - do you think he cried when he was sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby's efforts in front of goal tonight was woeful but we were still able to put in enough good balls into the box, that any half decent Prem striker would have scored at least once.

They play with determination and seem to get to the ball a split second before their opponents. There is something ruthless about their style which means that you daren't lose focus or shape for a second when playing them. Their heads don't go down when things get tough. They have a good manager who commands respect and an ambitious (very rich!) owner. "Win at all costs" rather than "just do your best! They stayed in the Prem for 14 years. Good luck to them!

BathRam72 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Guys, Let's put some perspective on this. We finished 6th!! Who on here would have taken that at the start of the season? I know I would. It was the play-offs and I know anything can happen, but the best team did indeed win over the 2 games. Fulham, if they go up will be probably in the Brighton/Huddersfield bracket (fighting to stay alive). They were by far better than us, so let's flip on its head and say we hung on and went on to win at Wembley. Given Fulham were that much better and probably will struggle next year (if they go up) what chance would you have given us? I am more than happy to carry on building a team that if it gets promoted would be there not to just make up the relegation battle. So chin up and forever onwards and up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were going nowhere until GR changed the formation after Burton, we then made the play offs but in truth were second best over the 2 legs. He found a way to get the most out of a squad that was failing, and although we haven't achieved promotion, I think there's something to build on going forward that didn't exist a few short weeks ago. I'd like to apologise for the above post. I should know better than to post immediately after a disappointing result when I've been drinking. Get sharpening that knife, Mel.?

Gary had a job to clear out some of the deadwood and older players. He hasn't done that hes added to it. That's not building for the future, that's building a huge squad of OAP's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
