So, it’s obviously too early to panic, but it’s a little unsettling that we’re clearly lacking in goal scoring, and yet the two attackers we spent 50 million or so on aren’t even ready for the bench. #BHAFC

#BHAFC came on a bit towards the end of the half, but that was largely forgettable.
Rutter at the nine isn’t really working. Welbz almost certainly has to come on in the second half.

We’ve responded pretty well to going behind early, but those first few minutes were absolutely terrible. Hopefully that doesn’t make the difference today. #BHAFC

#BHAFC HT Thoughts:
Cagey start, but things opened up towards the end of the half.
Fulham have done a good job of defending compactly, and limiting chances, but van Hecke was clutch when the Cottagers got complacent.
Big second half coming up.

And to think, I was disappointed that I had to coach my son’s team today and couldn’t watch. Don’t want to be dramatic, especially since I didn’t see the game, but I don’t know if Hürzeler survives this.
At least my son’s team won 3-2. Probably saw better defensive solidity from U9 players #BHAFC

Simply not good enough. Consistently unable to figure out how to break down a side that’s content to sit back and defend.
If Hürzeler can’t figure this out, Europe remains a pipe dream.

#BHAFC HT Thoughts:
Typical performance against a team near the bottom of the table. Plenty of possession, but no attacking thrust. The mistake that leads to a goal came earlier than usual, though.
Everton are going to Everton, even more so with a lead. We need a big response in the second half

Solid win. I want to see how we perform against Everton before I make any judgements about whether or not we’ve turned the corner, but I’m very happy with the performances in 2025. #BHAFC

#BHAFC Halftime Thoughts:
A really bright start gets negated by some poor decision making in our own end.
Minteh has been our best player in both halves of the pitch. Can’t see him lasting the full 90 though, especially on a yellow.
Big second half coming up.

I don’t know what Bart was thinking with that pass, and I really don’t know why Baleba thought he could get away with a headlock in the box. #BHAFC

Much better second half performance. The winless streak continues, but I like the heart the team has shown these past couple of matches and managing to salvage something from them. #BHAFC

I’ll take that. Disappointed that we switched off at the start of the second half, but we responded well to adversity and had some chances to go on and win it. We move.
