    We can win but I'd take a draw. Fulham are a canny side.

    Under Coleman years ago yes, but they were pretty horrendous last year, in the bottom half for the whole season and only just avoided relegation.

    They've been in freehold for the last 2 years, a draw would be a disappointment.

    Aye but we were dogshit last season too and we couldn't do jack **** away from home! Couldn't even beat crap like Villa! Fulham will come at us hard and this will be a good early test to see where we actually are.

    Would like to think we will have a little too much for Fulham but depends whether Rafa has been able to get rid of that mentality from last season that playing away meant we had to adopt a siege mentality instead of trying to play football.
    Think it could be an important marker for season as a win will fill players with confidence that away games are not just rests between the home games.

    Strange I didn't think the football season started until next week.

    Important for you lot to get off to a good start. Win and you will go onto do well, lose and you could have the confidence knocked out of you.

    Good luck this year we will need the six points next year to help in our push for the top 4.

    I've been around 30 times to Marmaris and the bar hassle has been stopped flat by the local government.
    Trust me there are some lovely Turks. Genuinely helpful. One of em picks me up from Dalaman every trip to save hassle on the coaches.
    He also cooks me bacon with his plastic gloves on :)
