Official Matchday 22: Fulham vs. Nottingham Forest. Sat 11th Feb 2023 @ 15:00hrs (GMT).

[IJPS]

After the highs of Sunday, and the lows of the semi-final, which Nottingham Forest will turn up? Will we put to bed our miserable away form? Can Fulham deal with our new found flare and guile? Will the footballing gods help Navas once again? Stay tuned for our next episode.....

I think our odds are better than most would immediately assume.

They like to sweep forward in numbers but they have looked quite vulnerable on the transition. Spurs showed what was possible when you combined that with a low block and a lot of frustration. They got their goal, perhaps slightly against the run of play, and then simply shut down the game. Not too dissimilar to what we did yesterday.

Only downside to that approach is that our pace on said transition is all on the right flank which will be up against Robinson who's about as fast a defender as Johnson will be up against, so need to pick the breaks smartly when Robinson is overcommitted.

Really good opportunity to show we're worthy of our recent run of results which have come against weaker sides. Time to do it against a slightly better one.

 

[Captain Sinister]

Play Navas plus 10 attackers.
The way Navas has started, we wont need defenders

 

[Ashley]

Would gladly take a point here. No point bemoaning the likes of Everton and West Ham getting unlikely results, we need to get one or two ourselves.

Can't see us scoring, so I'm going for a hard fought 0-0 draw.

does not compute, surely we need more not less?

We started the trend, beating spurs first team 2-0 on the FLC, drawing with chelsea, and beating Liverpool in the Prem.
We are the trend setters, the rest are just followers.

 

[MASE]

Some momentum about us currently, theres a case to be made for at least a point here given Fulham will likely want alot of the ball & terriritory.

All we need is a sniff & the rest is in our hands.

Fitness permitting.
Id like to see:

Navas
Aurier Boly Felipe Lodi
Yates Shelvey Freuler
Johnson Surridge MGW.

 

[Haych]

I’d take a draw all day.

0-0 and we move on to the Man City game.

 

[IJPS]

Get 3pts and it's pressure off for Manicure City.

 

[Tobias]

Navas
Aurier Boly McKenna Lodi
Danilo Freuler
Johnson Mangala MGW
Surridge​

A thrilling 1-0 away win with Navas showing everyone why he's one of the best goalkeepers Costa Rica has ever produced.

 

[Redemption]

We get the full week to prepare. They have a FA Cup replay at Sunlun. Mitro not scored at home since October. We're shit on the road. I'd take a point but think all 3 are available if we have can deliver a decent away performance, we're due one.

 

[Baronvon]

Winnable but will be very, very tough. Fulham have looked very impressive this season and are far more than a team reliant on Mitrovic.

It was crucial that we got three points against Leeds as the next two games could easily see us yield a return of zero points. I'd take a point here - three would be incredible.

 

[Project Zeus]

If we can stifle Mitrovic we're in with a chance. As always, a draw would be a terrific result.

I was contemplating getting a seat in the Fulham end (I have a booking history after going to the Zinckernagel smash and grab last year, but forgot that I already have plans for this weekend.) Seats in the home end new stand are 90 QUID!

 

[vance warner]

Just watching MOTD2 and seen that they have a cup replay in Sunderland on Wednesday night, hopefully they'll be shattered come Saturday

Apologies for the typo in the poll "Cathedrale"

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

Navas
Aurier Boly McKenna Lodi
Freuler
Yates Danilo
MGW
Johnson Surridge

[tomw94]

Navas
Aurier Boly Felipe Lodi
Freuler Danilo Scarpa
Johnson MGW Lingard

Surridge seems better as an impact player off the bench, bring him on around the 70minute mark. A point would be an excellent return.

Me too, with prices ranging from £90 - £130(!!!!!), I'll give it a miss.

 

[Major Oak Morgan]

Fulham are due a slip-up..

 

[marshal99]

i reckon cooper will play that 4-2-3-1 that he played against united in the cup. when is shelvey back ?

 

[Haych]

I’d swap Williams for Aurier and Wood for anybody who brings their boots and keep the rest that started yesterday.

 

[Omar Devone Little]

Would snap your arm off for a point. Mitrovic actually is exactly the type of forward our defenders would love to play against as it'll be a scrap not some tricky pacy striker.

They're a good side though and have basically given everyone a game this season. They've surprised me with how well they've adapted to the league although granted some of their team has been up with them before.

I still think there due a bad run and typically Silva never recovers from a bad run and he always ends up sacked.

 

[Cloughie1975]

I somehow managed to get a ticket for this-I'm really looking forward to it.
I've a sneaking suspicion we might get at least a point here.
