Watched Fulham Friday and they were dump! Not good defensively at all! I think we will score it’s just how many we ship! We still have only lost by two clear goals on 2 occasions! I’m sticking with a Desmond the same as some others have already mentioned!
Green and Doughty our scorers
Fulham last 10 games have either won or lost by 1 goal (with a 3-3 draw thrown in too).
I wonder if Aneke might be on the bench after his hat-trick, but hard to disagree with Sage.
Stoke winning tonight means they've collected ten points from their last five matches, while we've collected four. Can see their run continuing unfortunately, and the pressure increasing. Genuinely think Derby and Brum's potential points deductions might be something we'll be praying for in a couple of months.
Fulham are always tough opponents. Oztumer and Hemed looked decent on Saturday, but we need to improve our possession stats and our crossing. And our pressing, which we used to leave almost exclusively to Gallagher.
Perhaps it'll be one of the nights when everything clicks?
2-3 with Taylor coming off the bench to score the winner (penalty).
A cold Wednesday evening in January ... with a threadbare, patched-up squad ... on a terrible run of form ...
Oh boy, am I looking forward to going to this one!
I'm hoping we'll have some senior players available for this one because I'm guessing most of our youngsters will have to be tucked up in bed before the second half starts; it is a school night, after all.
Silly stats time:
In our 28 league matches this season we have conceded 2 goals on 15 occasions; since the win against Derby in October (the start of our form slump) it's been 11 times in the last 16 matches.
A side has scored three goals in only four of our league fixtures ... and we've got three of them, the other one being a Massive result (although their last goal came in stoppage time as we chased an equaliser). That's also the only time we've conceded more than two goals in a game.
Most common score this season? 2-2 (7 times) closely followed by 2-1 defeat (6 occasions).
We've only managed two 1-0 wins: Brentford and Leeds ... they were a long, long time ago!
This season we've had more trouble keeping a clean sheet than an adolescent schoolboy, four in the first 12 league games (the last was against Derby on 19-Oct-19) and none in the last 16.
The only nought-nought this season came against Forest Green Rovers in the League Cup (which doesn't really count).
Prediction for tomorrow: Fulham score twice, we'll probably only bag one, and Williams is substituted in the second half with frostbite resulting in an amputated foot.
1-3, Fulhams wingers/ Inside forwards are going to prove too much. Its a shame earlier in the season we played great against them and deserved 3 points
Remove the goals from the pitch - 0-0 draw. Simples!
Just remove one of the goals and swap them around at half time. So long as it’s the goal we score in, who cares?
Still 0-0 for me! Game is a week early for us, shame we couldn't put it back!
It was our decision to change it to the 22nd instead of 29th. Had a conversation with another poster on here, and believe it is to allow us a period of time without distractions to get deals across the line before the window shuts.
The only reason i can see us bringing it forward from the 29th is so that we have a full week, rather than 2 days, to prepare for the Barnsley game, which on the scheme of things is a much more important game to win.
I watched Fulham on TV a few days ago and I have to say they looked formidable. Having said that, I am going for a hard earned draw, with which I shall be very pleased.

Someone earlier in the thread said they looked crap on Friday!
For some bizarre reason I seem to know a lot of Fulham fans, several of them longstanding season ticket holders. They are not overly impressed with their performances despite their lofty league position. None of them think Parker is a good manager and all seem to think he will get the bullet at the end of the season.
They say he is not good enough to manage in The Prem (If they go up) and if they stay down he has failed.
we need points (to state the bleedin obvious) and I think we'll get at least one tomorrow .. Fulham are having a great season but like all games in the Champ this season, there are no foregone conclusions .. I have no idea who is due back from injury and who will play, I am just convinced that the team tomorrow will show enough grit and pride to give Fulham a right fright
Breaking news.... Ex Charlton toy thrower announces the strongest possible Fulham line up for their game against Man City Lite on Wednesday. As Promotion is still the priority for Fulham, they will play their academy side in the FA cup against the bona fide Man City team on Saturday.
I wouldn't have thought that Fulham are that bothered about their FA Cup game at the weekend. Why would they be? It's a game they won't be expecting to win.
Tomorrow night will be their only focus. A win for them puts them just a point behind Leeds and two behind West Brom. What more incentive do they need to put in a performance and get the three points tomorrow evening.

Take it from me they were superb......especially in the first half.

Get in their faces whenever possible, well and truly unleash Darren Pratley - Bet they wont want it getting scrappy
Fancy a score draw too.

Nurse!
0-5 to Fulham
Lee inches closer to signing that contract.
Matt starts avoiding the lounges.

We dont win local derbies
We dont win night games at The Valley
old boy (Parker) returning
No new players
Playing kids that are just not good enough
Cant see anything but a defeat. 1-3.
You never know on the day, otherwise there would never be any FA Cup upsets.
We don't do FA Cup upsets ... unless we're on the receiving end of them.
2-1 loss.
Would take a draw, but I’d like to see 2-1 to the Addicks, Sarr and Hemed.
Having said that, I am going for a hard earned draw, with which I shall be very pleased.
