    Indeed. We could have qualified for Europe as were 4th at the time. I will never forgive the greedy bxstard. He could have left at the end of the season but no he threw a hissy fit. No class. 0-1 to us

    Think we could actually see Pratley move into the central of defence as it will also allow us to push him into midfield if needed during the game. Unsure whether Matthews will be okay enough to play again on Saturday, but if not, Oshilaja to come in for him. At some point Cullen and Gallagher are going to need a rest, both of them and Lockyer have not had the chance really to be rested. Hopefully when Kayal is fit, we will be able to rotate the middle two in midfield a bit more. Think it would be harsh to drop Bonne, but can I really see him playing three 90 minutes in a week? That's a tough ask. 

    Unforunately, with now having 6 players out injured, having a whole day less to prepare and rest, and Fulham's ridiculous squad for this level, I think it's going to be too much for us on Saturday. 

    Phillips
    Lockyer Pratley Sarr
    Matthews Cullen Gallagher Solly
    Aneke Williams
    Leko

    Amos, Pearce, Oshilaja, Field, Forster-Caskey, Oztumer, Bonne

    Fulham 2-0 Charlton Athletic
    No Pearce ?
    I’ve stuck him on the bench because as far as I can remember, he’s never played in a back three with Naby before and he’s not the type of defender to be the middle centre back. So I’ve gone for Pratley because of his ability to move into midfield if and when needed to. He also had an injury a couple of weeks ago so could he play Wednesday and again on Saturday at midday, that’s a tough ask.

    We shall see.

    Saturday against Leeds? - Or do you mean from the very start?

    To be fair they did only play about 10mins together that game in the back three

    Indeed, from the very start.

    Coming on to help sure things up and not concede is very different to starting the game in a back three. We also had Pratley, Cullen, and Field protecting them against Leeds as well.

    He can stick his comments up his arse. Like Grant he left in the January window when we were riding high & shafted us. I hope he has a player that does the same as he did....maybe Cairny or Mitrovic will get their head turned if a Premier League team come calling & he loses them in January.

    Can someone based in US let me know what channel I can watch this on in New York? Just scrolled through about 350 channels and cannot see this game listed.

    Red in SE8. It's available on ESPN+. I believe you can get a free weeks access if you have never registered before. It's being shown live at 0630 (central time) and will also be available to view later should you miss the live coverage

    Yes as mentioned it’s on ESPN+ which is a streaming only platform - won’t be available via a TV channel.

    You’d think we were playing Manchester City according to some of these predictions!

    Generally, the reason Fulham has been a bit of a bogey team in last meetings is Charlton was a team looking down and Fulham was a team looking up. Charlton are a team that’s looking up now.

  • 5 at the back, one up top?

    Can only assume Williams and Gallagher playing off of Bonne up front. Maybe Forster-Caskey at left wing back?

    Not the team I was expecting but in Bowyer I trust.

    Naby at left back

    That team will certainly invite pressure. Concerned about Bonne upfront on his own, hope he gets enough support.

    Quite a long way out to score from - will be some goal.

    Pratley - JFC - Cullen

    No idea how we are setting up, maybe it’s Sarr at left back and packing the midfield?

    It just doesn’t look very strong, we are going to need Leko and Oztumer off the bench at some point.

    Weve invited pressure much of this season
  • Really want to see a good performance for JFC... If you take JFC at his best, a midfield featuring Williams, Cullen, Gallagher and JFC is on paper very good

    This is make or break for JFC, with Kayal coming back. If he plays anything like he did against FGR, it's curtains

    Phillips

     Lockyer - Pearce - Sarr

    Disagree, particularly if he’s playing left wing back
