royalp-we Cairney, Knockaert, Cavaleiro and Mitrovic. Without doubt the most dangerous team we have faced so far (along with West Brom). A goal threat from all areas.

Old Man Andrews Andy Woolmer as the referee for this one........... The bloke is so corrupt, he should be in jail.

NewCorkSeth Lock out Cairney and Mitrovic and we should be fine. We have decent possession and shots per game. 2 fairly even teams imo.

Not sure its that easy for us to lock anyone out. We are very leaky at the moment and that is a big worry against a team like Fulham. Our best bet tonight is to really go for it and take the game to them, we can really get at their defence its not great.

Hound I think their game might suit us to be honest, and I'm not convinced Parker is the right man for the job there
The key to any success we have had this year is getting Swift and Ejaria on the ball. I suspect they'll probably not worry too much about stopping that and instead just expect to boss possession. If we can get the ball to Swift/Ejaria in behind their midfield, I fancy us to score a couple. We do need to defend well obviously, but we should have a back 4/5 capable of that.

Hound Blackburn did it as well. Stop the ball getting to Swift/Ejaria, hit the space behind the FBs
So simple. But I think Fulham will be too arrogant to worry about stopping us first, and hopefully leave the gaps in the midfield.
I don't think its so much a 'high pressing' game that hits us. I think we actually are set up to counter that quite well. We can break the press fairly well at times. Its more a case of let Morrison and Moore have the ball, but don't let it get to our creative players. Obviously then if it does get through don't give them any time on the ball.

2 world wars, 1 world cup 3 at the back.
Joao and Puscas up front.
Don't find a winning formula and bloody change it because it doesn't always demolish teams, especially when not playing best two strikers up front.

But even when Blackburn dropped off Swift came into the game. Charlton are the only team who kept up the pressure for 90 minutes.
I agree that I dont think Fulham will try to suppress us rather than out perform us. Which they may do, but I would be very wary of letting John and Ovie do their thing if I was Parker.

I'm obviously more of a panicker than you. In my head I know it makes sense to stick with the formation, give it time to gel. But our link up play and finishing worries me. And our defending is atrocious.
