As discussed this is a big week for us - off to a great start! Have a feeling we'll draw, we can't win 4 in a row, can we? That said Fulham are a club in turmoil and play well for 65 we should win - we certainly cannot string 90 together at present but I couldn't give a toss providing we get points on the board. 6th is worth as much as 3rd and we have no hope of top 2 this season so I'd say we're doing pretty darn well all things considered. COYB.
I think this'll be a high score draw, possibly even 3-3. Hopefully there'll be plenty of goals as I'll be there. Anyone else going?
Going off topic, but how ineffective had AMN been!! Him and Fraser were on fire at the start of the season, but since then he has not done a lot, definitely no assists, and is giving away too many free kicks. Hopefully oar can get fit, and also we need Fraser back, as I don't have much faith in AMN at the moment.
Funnily enough Srretchy, i had been thinking the same thing, has not really created anything or been a threat of late, i knew MM would knock all the flair out of him. He will go back to Arsenal a defensive midfielder!!!!!
Would love to be going sadly I'm not. What I will say in regards to Niles = he's clearly being asked first and foremost now to do the ugly side of the game more than the start of the season when I think he was given license to roam more. So from an attacking point of view he probably will look less like a flair player ( especially at home ) but away where we're certainly set up better this season ( had a feeling of that start of the season and is proving true ) our game is very effective. This does tie in with vastly improved defensive performances. We've certainly tightened up at the back.
2-2...good pts and on we go into the festive period. Fraser plays a nice 15 min cameo and slings a few across.
Be buggered if i would, whilst there is a chance........ I never get that, its like when managers say they would have taken a point if offered before a game, wtf?? You have to have belief in your ability and believe you can win every game and get promoted, imho!!
With you 100% Spanish lets see what we can achieve this season. But whether people like Mick / the style of play, we're 6th right now, doing quite well thank you and 6th is ultimately worth as much as third. Lets see what we can do. I'm quite satisfied with the results and we've got the best man we could have right now in my opinion.
Hmm, much depends on how MM re-integrates Ryan, Bru and co. IMHO Ryan is streets ahead of like for like players. To give us a whole fresh look and creativity, he needs to put him on the park for at least 20 tonight, and not when are losing 3-0! Time to give Ainsley a break perhaps. And ffs lest see how Dids can carve the place up for at least 20! If he is fit, enjoying his game, he has potential to lift us up a notch......to top 2 even! While as I say, I am generally pleased where we are, I have no desire to see mediocre, battling, scrappy 2nd half performances quite so often. If we now have, youth, fresh legs, talent raring to go, lest give them their chance Mick...before you drive all the skills, confidence, aspirations out of them! A stronger squad now than we thought possible a few months ago, eh? I remain a fan of Mick.....but we need his dash of flair, excitement and a bit of risk now!!! 3pts tonight, we can all believe! 1-2 You Blue beauties! I have a pint of Adnams awaiting.
Agree Fraser is by far our best / most creative wide boy and player generally he HAS to play however the side has done quite well the last 9 games or so, especially with points collected so I have no issue with him being on the bench tonight and not playing a minute providing we win. I'm feeling 1-1 tonight - gut instinct maybe?
