Delusions of Sanchez - Part 2

So prior to my earlier comments I had run another poll. Sixty one people voted, which is pretty good for this blog but probably not represenative of the global Fulham fan base. However, I'm not one to let actual voting numbers get in the way of an opportunity to do a bit of analysis and produce a colourful graph.

To try and get some more value from the figures I combined the voting options into three less rigid criteria. Basically sack him as soon as possible, give him until some point in December, or give him a much longer term. In doing so it makes it clearer that the majority view is to give Lawrie a bit more time to show he can improve but if he fails to do so get him out before the next transfer window. A fairly high 34% want him out now or fairly soon, interestingly this was much lower prior to the Sunderland game, and only 14% are confident enough to let him have longer.

Don't take this too seriously, I didn't really expect this poll to show any great sea change in Fulham opinion, and to some extent my tounge is firmly in cheek, but I think it is evident to everyone that something has to change if Sanchez is going to keep us in this division.

Meet the new poll, same as the old poll

I thought the results of my last poll actually DID say something about the confusion most Whites fans are feeling right now. Though maybe my choice of two options that amounted to the same thing had a lot to do with that. Either way it gave me a chuckle that as many people voted in the "I'm really too fed up to Vote" category as any other.

So, partly to keep me amused and partly because I know everyone loves a good poll, there's a new slightly less pointless topic to vote on. This weeks question is "How many games should Sanchez be given to prove he can do a job for us?". Let voting commence ...

On a more positive note ...

Something to cheer you up after my frankly quite miserable posts of the last couple of days. Firstly there's a great interview with Hameur Bouazza on the Offal about how he escaped life in one of the roughest suburbs of Paris thanks to Football. Bouazza Interview

There's another meaningless poll to vote in to see what you're feelings are on the current state of play at the club. It should be over there on the right --->

Finally a video of a Chinese goalkeeper scoring an own goal with his head that made me laugh out loud when I first saw it on Who Ate All The Pies.

Friday Poll

Morning all, just playing around with the blogger bells and whistles and thought I'd try out the Poll feature (over there on your right). Vote for who you think is going to score Fulham's first league goal of the new campaign. Closing date is next Friday but of course, unless we get off to a really poor start, we should have scored by then!
