The Fulham Chronicle

A one-man rearguard from Bernd Leno
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Match19 Sep 2026
4 matches without a win for Fulham
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Fulham are no longer polite ones.

Tempers go at Fulham
Emile Smith Rowe was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Ryan Sessegnon runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Alex Borto is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

A row about effort at Fulham
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Joachim Andersen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Match19 Sep 2026
3 matches without a goal for Fulham
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

A defender's afternoon for Calvin Bassey
Defensive actions: 17. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Nobody on the pitch touched Antonee Robinson
7.83, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Fulham had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
