Just been checking the Fulham website(nothing better to do) and he's been in good form for Fulham reserves this season,masterminding wins over Arsenal reserves among others.Could well be an answer to our dearth of creativity?

Something needs to happen and quick. Quite how the manager can complain about the quality of crosses when he plays one of the best crossers of the ball in centre midfield is beyond me

Timlin would certainly fill a gap, especially if he is nowhere near Fulham's first team, he was a decent player for us previously
Although you have to wonder why he has not been picked up by any other team since he went back to Fulham.

shouldn't we just let malpas and his mstaff get in who they target?
i thought that diagoraga or whatever he was called would be better if we're dragging up old loanees.

Id personally play 3 in midfield .. 2 up front and either 5 at the back and use Comminges and Zaaboub as the full or wing backs ... with say Ifil Aljofree and Vicent or Kanyouka in the middle 3
OR ..
play the normal back 4 ... 2 up front still .. but with a central midfield 3 - 1 holding midfielder and 1 free roving midfielder who would pull out wide - switching from flank to flank .. someone like Roberts or Zaaboub
Lee Holmes is looking the part at Walsall tho isnt he???

Timlin started off well, but was distinctly crap, by the time he returned to Fulham....I always worry when players reach early 20's and haven't played much first team football.
You can only really learn the game by playing proper competitive football.

I do agree. Timlin was "gash" towards the end of the loan

They have so much money sloshing around, that they've lost all sense of perspective. Guys like Slabber, drive around in their personalised reg cars at 19 thinking they're the great I am. then can't even cut it at non league clubs like O*frod. I'l wager both Lukey Dukey and Tozer gp the same way. |

Which pretty much sums up the Premiership Cash Cow in a nutshell. One day though, the bubble will burst. Fair play to Sturrock I guess, for realising that and cashing in on it. Good luck to Lukas and Tozer but they are really not that good. |

Good luck to Lukas and Tozer but they are really not that good. Its ony a matter of time before the Prem clubs start seriously campaigning for running second and perhaps even third teams in the football league. Its what happens, for example, in Spain. Just about every smallish Spanish side seems to have a player who was once with Real or Barca B team. |
