Plus since Fulham have started bouncing between PL and Championship they've only managed 1 goal against us which Matt Ritchie scored for them. Read this and was racking my brains for a time when Matt Ritchie had a stint at Fulham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it was ‘Freeman’s on fire’ first, which seems reasonable given the lyrics. Mitro definitely came before Grigg though - some Wigan fan made a video as he was leading them to the Championship and then the Euros were round the corner, so the NI fans then adopted it.

Johnny Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Our sixth draw of the season, I'm afraid. Fulham will park the bus, and will try to score with counter break. We will have hard time to break them down even with ASM starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I rate Fulham, at very least, as the best of the promoted sides. Can’t help thinking their style of play will suit us better than the others though, particularly at their place. Don’t think we have the creative flair (out wide mainly, particularly on the right) to break teams down and create genuine ‘harder to miss’ type opportunities. Far too reliant on Maxi when fit. Even when we absolutely dominated Forest we only scored twice. Three quarters of the possession and twenty shots against Bournemouth and no goal from open play. Fulham will have more of the ball and really take us on. Can see us getting a couple of breakaway goals/nailed on opportunities. If we can restrain our once loved mad bastard, really fancy a victory myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 If we have Maxi and Wilson back then I think we might get something out of this. Nice to see a maxi, wilson, isak front three. Will need our fullbacks to up their game a notch and get some decent overlapping going. Botman into the defence and stick with the tried and tested middle three (joex2 + bruno) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Who gives a fuck, man I think we'll lose this if we play anything like we did on Saturday. They will come at us and Mitrovic will be like a rabid dog on speed, just hope Howe gets it right this time with his selection at the back. I'd go Burn over Botman to deal with his added 'roughness', which makes his lack of selection against Bournemouth even more baffling to me.

Burn wins 2 in 3, Schar 1 in 2. Could see Burn and Botman here. My worry with Burn for this one though is he gets involved in niggly things particularly at set-pieces.

gbandit Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I just hate momentum being broken up in the season and I’m sure it makes for worse games after the breaks. Feels like this season has barely even begun and it’ll still likely feel that way after the World Cup because of how broken up it’s been Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
