I loved how structured we were today. Retaining Posession is still a worry. But to concede that much of the ball and limit them to one shot shows how much we pressured them today

A freekick as well, so not really created anything during open play. It's worrying how we lose the ball so easily bit I thought our defensive shape was excellent

The fact is if a team has more possession they have more of the ball and are likely to score more. Thats why we have been losing matches because only in 3 games out of 22 have we had more ball than the opposition and two of those were 51-49%.

We are being overrun in infield and that's why we are suffering so many losses. We cannot retain possession. No ball, you cannot score but your opponents can. A fact of life.

Wasnt overun today if look at stats they had 2 on target we had 7 , off target they had 5 we had 17 ! So where was there possession in their own half? As said before stats only serve the person using them :thumbup:

Lets be honest, we had 37% possession today and Fulham 63%. We are the home team. This is happening every game. We will never ever get promoted when the same situation carries on. We we were fortunate today because Fulham were poor. Other teams have come to CCS recently(e.g..Rotherham and they should have beaten us). We have been smashed by Watford, Brentford because they are decent football teams who can hold onto the ball and score goals whilst they have it, We cannot do this,

Depends on how you view things? in games you mentioned if we had forwards who could score we could have different results as missed open goals in each game! At end day its results that count but agree that wont get promoted if dont get more possession as wont win enough games! But hopefully slade will still get couple more players to address problem? Today looked more solid at back and that was because we pressed them into own half a lot, hence I said played mostly in their own half? Stats dont tell true story only what person using them wants to see, :thumbup:
