There’s only 1 F in Fulham!!
It’s fair to say that after watching last nights uninspiring Play Off final, that the best team ended up going into the PL. As a spectacle, the game was largely disappointing ,with both teams trying their best not to lose ,instead of trying to win. Scott Parker proved himself to be the more astute manager , and tactically, he got it spot on ,nullifying the threat of Watkins and Benrhamina. By playing deep they were able to stop Brentford going into the danger area and limiting their chances. If you were a big club ,looking to sign either of these two, after last night, I think your interest would have cooled .
In Scott Parker , you may be looking at a future England manager, in the mould of Gareth Southgate. Having been beaten twice by the Bees already this season, he clearly didn’t want to make it three in a row.Listening to the summary of the game, it appears that Fulham were well aware that the Brentford goalie went walkabout, and had already identified this as a weakness, from which the opening goal was taken in spectacular fashion.
Let’s hope that they learn from spending over £100m and failing, on their previous visit to the PL., and if they do, maybe this friendly ,family , club could stay up next season. I hope so.
