I get that we need to protect Isak but we also need to win this. Howe always says the next game is the most important and this is the most important right now. We'll see come 90mins whether it was the right choice.

The guys coming off are not what I expected. Big call from Howe here, need to win this now else he's going to look foolish.

Really need to get the subs on soon and get this game won. Barnes and Joelinton ASAP.

No changes then, that is surprising .

Trippier coming on it seems. Would be harsh to see Anderson go off but Joelinton would make a big difference here also.

Excellent ball through for Gordon. No other LB at the club does that in that situation.

Well thank fuck for that. Once again these games where there's alot of the line we seem to make it difficult for ourselves. Massive second half now.

Wow. Bad bad start.

Probably too embarrassed. We might see him in the picture afterwards.

Big cover up at the club this week clearly. Everything pointed towards him being fit and playing and now he's nowhere to be seen. If he's injured again then surely he's got to go. If it's sickness or something else then that's fair enough.

Just coming back to fitness in the last few weeks. Wouldn't be my first choice Wilson replacement but ALOT cheaper than Solanke or Toney and is someone who I think Howe could improve hugely. Wilson would have to leave for him to come in though I reckon. But having said that Isak, Wilson and Abraham would be one hell of a trio to attack all the competitions next season.

It would be unusual obviously but I see no actual reason that he couldn't. If Fulham have chosen to leave him out then he can do whatever he wants although I agree that I don't think he will be at St James's.

Informally he could have agreed something I suppose. Not that Fulham would have to respect anything like that anyway, could well have been the players decision. He wasn't in their last squad either so it's definitely an injury, must be contract related.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but there's no Adarabioyo in the Fulham squad today. Was it someone on here who said he'd been invited to our game today? He's not listed on the injury list so could be some truth in it OR could just be he's left out because Fulham know he's leaving so aren't bothering with him.

What could possibly fuck up this glorious warm, sunny day. Got bottles in the fridge, ready to sit outside in the garden at 3pm, don't let me down lads.

He wouldn't come as a 3rd choice I don't think. If Wilson leaves we could perhaps convince him of game time but then again I'm not certain he's good enough to be 2nd choice behind Isak. We'd need to sign a third striker anyway. IMO we should focus on finding a young striker (18-21) up and coming to fill that 3rd spot, assuming Wilson stays.

You fucking what?! *Rude Italian hand gestures*

That's a Bradford City top 100%. I'd absolutely get one ofcourse.

Shame for him really but like you say, it's not suprising. Not fit enough yet and there's been alot of high profile players missing out on that sqaud so he can't be too hard on himself.

In the past they've kept players out of the training pictures and videos before match days. Tino and Joelinton spring to mind, both were featured and then came back that same weekend. Wouldn't be shocked to see him on the bench.

No suprise their form has dropped off a cliff looking at that injury list. But still, they beat Villa last week with just as many missing so it its not a given.

Feels like Adarabioyo and Kelly coming in for free is really vital for our summer business. That would enhance our depth in defence hugely and allow for some wiggle room in that area next summer. We could've easily spent, £80M+ on two Centre backs and a Left Back so I'm really hoping they come in ASAP and get up to speed in pre season.

Impossible to second guess the team for this one. Wilson could easily be in or out, same with Murphy. Barnes or Miggy could easily get a start. I reckon we'll see Joelinton in from the off at Man Utd in LW position so can't see him starting tomorrow.

I agree and the fact they are both free and cover three positions between them it's an obvious thing to do. I actually think maybe it's stereotyping Freedman already but I could easily see us looking less in the foreign market this summer if indeed he does come in when this season comes to a close. I'm sensing at least one Championship signing if he starts during this window.

If Ramsdale wasn't going to cost us circa £60M then I'd be much happier about the thought of him signing. As it stands I'd be disappointed going for him at that price over just keeping Pope or going for Mamardashvili.
