Our record there is really shocking though... time to turn it around. Between 2000 &2009 we drew 4 lost 3 Won 2 not great, but hardly shocking.....not sure, more recently. I am more of the belief with the right team and the right approach, we can secure the right result.History counts for nothing, its all on the day.

terrytini Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I can’t see Bruce dropping Elmo and don’t blame him.....it’s not about his individual contribution but that little triangles and partnerships are happening all over, and Snodgrass clearly benefits form the one he has on that flank. Additionally I wouldn’t like to see a rookie in Tuanzeebe play unless it’s out of necessity. Just one change in the starting line up for me, Jedi out and Birkir in. If he’s fit Green would make sense on the bench - he covers, in one way or another, Grealish, Snodders, and Adomah.....there’s not much creativity if he’s not a sub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Home advantage is historically a factor in this fixture. We nearly always beat them at home, and likewise they do at CC. But we are in the form of our lives, no better time to break the trend. We have nothing to fear, already beat them once this season. JTs due another goal tomorrow. Massive statement if we prevail. I really want this one just so I can be extra smug at work Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would play him again in the same role. We need to play each of the coming games as if we are playing the Blosers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Looking at the table and fixtures remaining. IMO we have the "easiest" run in . We need to make it count and automatic promotion is ours 98 points is where we ought to finish. Pity as I had a bet on 100 goals and 100 points But would be happy with 98 most points ever is 78 in 1987/1988 season. No reason that this isn't beaten this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carewjust4u Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 sitting in the away end, buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing! Get Thor back into that midfield, need his energy and hustle. We're gonna win this, win the league, and England will win the world cup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 This screams Millwall to me, the pace we could not handle that day although we were not as good then as we are now. But Fulham are a fantastic side, a point would be excellent there. lose and its only four points although their run of game scoming up is horrendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple that with Derby losing this is sort of a free hit, but hopefully thats not how the team and management see it. We need to be ruthless now and look to win every single game.

PieFacE Posted February 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2018 No Grealish, no Adomah it's looking like. Going to be a tough game this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Bruce has confirmed adomah and grealish both doubts tomorrow, if both of them are out we will struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 My confidence in this game has gone if Adomah and Grealish are both out tomorrow. Onomah and Green in and hope for a draw at best... hopefully Adomah and Grealish will be fit by Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 This is greens chance to shine if adomah is out, he has to do what adomah did and take the chance so it is impossible to drop him. if grealish is out thats a big problem as onomah is not as good as him in my view. but they dont sound like big injuries (fingers crossed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted February 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2018 Based on nothing more than total guesswork, I think at least one of them will play tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted February 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2018 If there are doubts with those two id bench them both and play Onomah and Green. This game isnt the be all and end all, and they should be protected for the run in. It would be disaster if we lost either to injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Knowing the quality of Fulham, I'd be very happy with a point. If we get anything more what a statement that would be. Fulham tend to struggle against teams that don't want to attack them. We need exactly the same performance as Sheffield United and hit them on break. We won't have very much of the ball, but when we can attack Fulham's defence isn't the greatest which is why they aren't currently in the automatic places.

Average 2pts per game would put us on 89 points. A record of W10, D2, L3 sticks us on 91 points, think 98 is a bit optimistic that is W13 and D2! which would be astonishingly good. We'll drop a few points, and probably in unexpected games. Fulham are tougher, Sheff Wed beat Derby at home the other day, Wolves still to come, there's plenty of challenges. But I'm feeling pretty good regardless of what happens tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chance for Green to come in and we go with a more solid replacement for Grealish in the middle. Still got Snodgrass, Hogan, Davis, Grabban available for goal-scoring options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Bad news if Jack's out. Wouldn't risk him, but make sure he's right for PNE on Tuesday. If we are missing him and Adomah, I wouldn't be averse to stacking the midfield and going defensive - 0-0 or try to nick one on the break. Doubt it'll be pretty though.
