Wasn’t Fulham’s first team.

And that’s the difference the level we are hopefully going to, we may have realise, that even with our own team right now, a lot of players who been great in the championship, may not make the step up to the premier league, just need to look to Leicester and Southampton, did well in the championship, Leicester walked it, and yet they come into contact with premer league level, and in the bottom three they are. But as with all things it’s about the level of signing, Ipswich spend money and have Delap, what a player he is, and they may even stay up, but they maybe exception not the rule.

Wasn't far off. Twice. It'll absolutely have been a starting 11 they've put out in the PL.

There’s a difference between a first team and a random starting eleven.
My Cottager marra whose ST I sometimes get a lend of when he’s on holidays texted me when their team was announced summet along the lines of not having a pint on the result because of it. I didn’t want a pint on it anyway but we did in the end as we have for decades. He wanted out of the cup asap that year, these days he’s up for a full strength cup team as he thinks they’re nowhere near relegation quality.

Wolves seemed to be picking up with two wins and a draw but have stumbled again. It’s looking between those two now despite the entire country wanting Spurs and Utd dragged into it.
If they can get the ball to Delap he can keep them up. If they don’t he may well be the record fee paid for an English player next summer. He should be in Tuchels first squad. Kane-Watkins-Delap. Sorted.

We never missed him that’s true but hes currently a far better footballer than Watson and better than Mundle

Im not saying them two won’t go on to be better than him

they are also both playing in a much better team than Clarke was last season

We weren't at full strength for those games either, Stewart was stretchered off 4 minutes into the first game, Pritchard was injured, Cirkin was injured, Ekwah wasn't fit to start, and we finished the first game with a 15 year old on the pitch and Amad playing CF.

I know we weren’t. I’m merely pointing out that the SMB in general is barking up the wrong tree by proclaiming back then that SAFC and some of its players were PL quality due to an admittedly good one off game against a middling at best PL team.
