A blog of two halves

There was no fluke about Fulham’s demolition of Nottingham Forest. But fans had to wonder how the Whites would fare when West Ham visited the Cottage at the weekend.

After a recent glut of goals, Morgan Phillips anticipated more of the same when Nottingham Forest visited Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening.

The Whites had not won in the Premier League since early October making supporters desperate for a turnaround – but no one could have anticipated the bizarre happenings on Monday evening.

Last Sunday, Fulham’s Women took on the Arsenal Women in a Capital Cup match at Craven Cottage.

You can see Fulham Women on Sunday at 2.30pm when they entertain the Arsenal Women’s Academy in our favourite riverside stadium.

Things were going (more or less) right against United on Saturday 4 November – until they went all wrong.

It has been a patchy season so far, but Fulham looked relaxed and focussed for Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup tie at Ipswich.

Two defensive errors cost the Whites a point against Spurs.

Last Saturday afternoon saw Sheffield United visit a sunny Craven Cottage, and few would have begrudged Marco Silva making wholesale changes to his Fulham team.

Morgan Phillips, our Whites blogger, has never seen a Fulham team approach a historic local derby with Chelsea in such a sloppy and uninvolved manner.
