    ..whose stats do not tell the full story. BUT I am struggling to believe some of the posts I see on here. Stats for 1st half show the Reds had far more possession, shots and shots on target. After the sending off, stats show they matched Fulham throughout the 2nd half until well into injury time with 10 men against a team many thought ( based on a couple of threads from last night), would walk all over us. Reports suggest the 3rd goal came from a fast break when , presumably we were going for an equaliser and were left exposed at the back based on the principal that another goal against would not make much difference points wise.
    Doom and gloom and now one or two are having a go at Hecky.

    Fickle bunch on here need to get a grip!!

    On top all 1st half that’s for sure. Don’t think we’d have lost with 11.

    Easy to criticise match-going fans.

    I paid my money and I'll boo if I want to. I didn't, because I thought we worked hard, but I need no advice as to how to conduct myself from someone who - apparently - barely attends games.

    So long as my behaviour is lawful, it's not your concern. Tempers will always be frayed after a late defeat on an emotional day. Booing is not for me but I get why people do it.

    We were the better side first half and performed really well in the second. Very unlucky.

    I have followed BFC since the mid 1960's but it is difficult to attend games when living 1200 miles away! My gripe was not about booing (although if a team shows complete lack of effort- not the case here- then it could be justified) . It was about critical BB posts aimed at a manager who is coping with an inexperienced team of young players. Too many fans on here want instant success and when things go well Hecky is the Messiah but when things are not going well he is targeted by some doom-mongers making ill-informed comments. We are yet to fall into the relegation zone and are IMHO still a better prospect for staying up than at least 3 of the teams below us.

    The stats suggest otherwise 1 win in 15? I think any manager would be under severe scrutiny and as I said in an earlier post it's a simple fact the players at our club are not good enough for championship football the plan sometimes unearths a diamond or two but as we see now the plan is flawed
