I think most have us down to lose. Even bet 365 have us at 4/1. Most still see us as a plucky promoted side and are expecting the wheels to fall off sooner rather than later. To be fair I don't mind this just makes it sweeter when we prove them wrong. I expect us to get something down there and I'm sure the players do as well I think the key thing is win lose or draw let's not get too carried away either way
Tbf we are actually 11/4 and Fulham are 11/10 against, as a home team don’t think the bookies are that confident of a home win
As always - cracking thread @RTB I think we can win this one. Fulham will be up for it and they play some decent football but are erratic - depends which version of both teams turn up on the day Ill go for a narrow win for the lads but also would not be entirely unhappy with a draw. id be gutted if we lost. my other observation after watching back Burnley and Man U was that Xhaka was slightly off colour those two games - he is so important to making us tick Hawaaaaaaaay
Yeah I've looked since and our odds have dropped. I'd say percentage wise they've basically got Fulham win 50% Draw 28% Sunderland win 22% as they will have a slight profit margin on all 3 outcomes. I still think we are the value bet from all of that mind and do expect us to pick up at least a point.
Great thread as always RTB thank you. I'd like to think this is one of the games we would identify as a win. It will be tough as all games are they do have a decent home record. That said I think we are capable of taking the 3 points and would be really disappointed to come away with nowt. Another long day extended courtesy of LNER and railway maintenance. Early start and fingers crossed it's a worthwhile effort. Haway the lads
