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
I don't disagree mate, there's only Wolves who are looking abysmal. However it's true to say that Fulham without their only recent points, against ten man Wolves, would currently be second bottom. They've only escaped people's attention because West Ham, Forest, Leeds, Burnley have all looked shaky. But all of those teams have better current form than Fulham who've lost time and again. My point is that, if we can't win at Fulham, where can we win ... ... or do we just accept that we're not capable which is fair enough if that's what people believe.
Great thread again RTB. 3 points from this would be nice but a point wouldn't be a disaster. Ha'way the Lads.
