I see that Silva is not taking the hit for all the changes, instead saying the team he put out was good enough. This is what bothers me the most. An inability to accept responsibility.
Not sure what else Lecomte has to do before he gets a start in the league. Not sure if he is any better at dealing with crosses and corners than Leno but his shot stopping is just as good whilst his distribution is far better. Unfortunately the only time it let him down in the game (when he hit a long ball to the smallest player on the pitch) led to the penalty.
Hard to disagree with these ratings, especially Silva's. We were all so glad when Silva took over from Stodgy Parker and got us promoted that we never asked what had really happened to get him sacked at Hull City, Watford, and Everton. Then when he kept us firmly mid-table, his past was paved over. But last week's games were so relentlessly grim--and his responses so relentlessly inappropriate--that it's almost closing time at Fulham for Marco.
What happened to the manager who used to develop players discarded from top teams and also made excellent moves during games? He seems to want to move on; maybe he will get the Spurs job and then realize how good he had it at Fulham, especially with the fans, and how his favourite term, "ambition," got him into a meat-grinder in North London.

The grades are fair and agree with Kevin when your the leader you must take full responsibility in way your side plays. Listen we all aren't 100% we all have flaws unfortunately maybe we have found Marco Silva's still a helluva coach though.
If ~25% of goals come from set pieces [exc. pen.] in the PL then if the Whites were properly prepared the 15 corners yesterday ought to have yielded a winner. That must change!
Avoiding relegation is apparently job done. No, it is not. That too must change!
Choosing the starting lineup is not 'the' game plan [ it is only the beginning of the game plan].
This was the worst ever performance I have had the misfortune to watch, Silva said he was taking the cup seriously and then makes 9 changes what a joke and instead of making changes at halftime he waits until the game is lost. Sess is not a full back and yet he keeps playing him out of position, Andersen is no longer reliable and far too slow and I think Lecomte is better than Leno as for Silva he has hit his ceiling and doesn’t have a different style of play which has found him out. As for the rest of the team I think they think the season has finished, no effort no urgency and a lack of creativity and accuracy when passing the ball. And just to finish off our supporters must be the quietest in the football league, couldn’t even hear them the only little bit of noise comes from the Hammy end and without them you could hear a pin drop, well done to the Saints supporters who were magnificent the whole game.

Sorry - We should have taken the money for Muinz while we had the opportunity.
I'd take at least one more mark off everyone - just because (inc. Marco)
Yes.The Marks were Far too Generous.x

I agree. Looks like he’s just seeing out the next eight matches. As we know, he’s been great but is it the end of an era?
With TC Raul Wilson all coming to the end of their contracts a new manager can bring in new blood.
TC has renewed…

Great assessment
