Stephen Kelly said he felt ‘gutted’ after Fulham slipped to defeat against his former club yesterday afternoon.
The Irish international, a half-time substitute for the badly injured Zdenek Grygera, felt Fulham fought back bravely having given Tottenham a two-goal start and were good value for a point.
Going two behind like we did was disappointing. We would have certainly taken the draw, but in the way we came back in the second-half we deserved even more.
At 2-1 it was ours for the taking and how that ball didn’t go in at the end is beyond us all. I think that was probably the best we have played all season – we deserved more.
The score wasn’t reflective of how well we played and it really was gutting. It was very difficult to take but we’ll bounce back because there were a lot of positives to be taken.
Spurs are a fantastic side and one that will be right up there at the end of the season. They came here in very good form and perhaps they were lucky to leave with all three points.
That’s football isn’t it and sometimes it just doesn’t go your way – unfortunately at times this season we have seen that for ourselves. It was the same against Everton a couple of weeks back, but we’ll bounce back. We have been playing some really good football and it will come for us. We go to Sunderland next weekend and we’ll do our best to get back on track.
Kelly also had words of concern for Czech defender Grygera, who needed an oxygen mask after he fell awkwardly in the closing stages of the first period.
It’s never nice to see a player leave the field on a stretcher. And we all wish him a speedy recovery. He’s a good lad and a good player; he’s done well since he joined in the summer.
Obviously I got my chance today and hopefully I can come in and do a job. It’s a shame in light of the circumstances but it’s an opportunity I want to take. We have some big games coming up and a lot of fixtures coming thick and fast – it will be nice to play a part in that and let’s hope we can get a bit more luck.
Lets have a look at the scoreboard. Oh you conceded 3 goals. We even helped you out with a freebie. Well there you go. Sort that out and you might have a future in the top flight.
Cheers Garth, you just reminded me why so many Fulham fans has very little time for Spurs fans. So many Spurs supporting mates has been in touch after the game “appologising” for stealing the points. Not you however, you just stick to the normal arrogant approach we are used to from North London – Good for you!
hey niclas dont worry about garth c’s comments. we were VERY lucky yesterday and you deserved at least a point. good luck for the rest of the season.
Fulham fans have little time for Spurs fans – oh please no! What can we do to make you like us? Please tell me!! Mate grow up. Why do you lot find it so hard to accept that your a small club??? Look at your fan base, your stadium and your leageue positions.
Who said anything about our size and the image we have of ourselves?
Inspite of your sarcasm, normal manners and a sober look at reality might help! I have a feeling I’m not the one who has some growing up to do! Look below for Lees comment, slightly more mature and relevant.
We’re obviously a big enough club for you taking the time to browse our websites, not that it matter one bit.
Agreed. The feeling of seeing Defoe score a third was quite absurd after having been pushed back for 45 minutes by a wellperforming Fulham-side who clearly deserved at least a point. Don’t get me wrong though, still happy with the scoreline 😉
Any Spurs fan who apologised to you for winning ugly deserves a good slap. And when they have finished slapping themselves they need to give you a good slap so you might return to the real world. Man U and Chelsea have been winning trophies by winning half their games in an ugly manner. We on the other hand have been all sweetness and light and won zippo. Good to see the Spurs players harden up and grab the points. You had your chances. Now grow up.
