Watched the 90 mins of the Huddersfield game last night and was amazed how dirty they were which wasn't conveyed by Jim during the game. We did very well standing up to the ugly tactics.
Getting back to the football, we were by far the better team, however not sure we can hold this game up against tomorrows.
Don't think Seri will play watching him limp off, and we will also be without Wilson.
I'll go for another 1-1 draw, but hope for another narrow win.
I think 1-1, think we'll struggle with their physical side.
Wilson will be a big loss but would love to see Zambo come in for Seri.
a couple of seasons ago we had one of our best away games at the Den, after the way we played Saturday I think (hope) we'll get a narrow win by the odd goal 0-1 or 1-2
1-1. Expecting a tight, tough game against them. Might sneak a win by the odd goal, but I wouldn't bet on it. Wilson is a big loss.
Would be nice to get a win because a draw won't keep us top
But I agree a 1-1 draw seems most likely and wouldn't be a bad result
They're playing well so far and will be up for it
After every Lord Mayors Show there is a let down.
My natural happy prediction will be a defeat in an ill tempered game.
A close hard fought win - 2-1.
I think we will smash them 4-1
1-2 049:gif
Think Wilson a big loss for us, good test of our mettle tomorrow, can see them roaring out of the blocks with their baying mob in full voice, think we could pick them off though
Going 3-1 us
What was our preseason result against then again? We were missing which players?
Agree Wilson will be a big miss but if we are going to be in the mix for automatic promotion this is the sort of game where we have to find a way to win. I'm full of early season optimism so will go for a 1-0 win.
We are about as good as we were when we beat them 2-0 or 3-0 a few years ago, so I will go with 2-0 to the Whites. I simply think like most teams in this league we are better.
Comes down to the day, but if we play as we can they play as they can I think we will outclass them a bit. Time will tell.
4-0 to us. Massive gap in quality.

Wow 😮 would love that.
I imagine Silva will think anything other than a win will be a bad result. Has to be 3 points.

Anguissa will be envolved, Silva said in the press conference
3-1 as I can't see us keeping a clean sheet against their hoofball but think the quality will show - they weren't very good against Blackburn at the weekend

Yep we never win immediately after smashing someone
Not sure but hoping for a win. Will take 2-1.
I'm completely out of the loop with CS teams.
All about performance, against Huddersfield it could easily have finished 10 - 0 to us, that's scary (there is more to come), but that's what happens when a team is set up to attack and wants to attack. Silva hasn't got his first 11 settled yet.
Majority so far suggest 2-1 win for us, I concur with that!

And me
I'm very confident....1-3.... We should of ripped Boro to pieces, then ripped Huddersfield apart.... we're far to strong for Millwall
Think we will struggle to create chances. Wilson has been immense so far. Breath of fresh air in our attacking play.
Tete has been showing his class hope he will make a diff against millwall. A class above the championship level

Hope this isn't a typically Fulhamish poor display after a brilliant one!
I remember that scintillating display coincidentally v Millwall at home under Parker, but then we failed to repeat that level of performance afterwards.
I expect a hard game, but hoping for a positive result.

Millwall play 5 in midfield so I think it won't be easy breaking them down unless we score early and they have to take some risks. If I was Millwall I'd say 1-1 draw but as I'm Fulham through and through I'm taking a 1-0 win 049:gif
Use some pace and we'll have the points in the bag by half time, it should only get better as the game goes on. Could leak a goal to a set piece but overall I can't see Millwall being too much of a danger. I like Millwall, another proper team from London, I would like to see them up there with QPR in the playoff places while we look down from the top position.

Let's hope we can amend that to "We never used to win immediately after smashing someone". But for me it will depend on how we manage their aggression and competitiveness in what may be a crowded midfield. My guess is we won't get much help from the ref. Early robust challenges (I mean fouls obviously) should get yellows to manage the physicality of the game. I'm there tonight having been away for the first two games, so looking forward to it.
Of course we hope for a positive outcome, but for me the nature of the performance will be interesting - the level of intensity and the quality of our attacking football. Let's see what Silva is bringing to the table.
Huddersfield and Boro games proved we can stand up to and deal with roughouse tactics so not bothered on that front, but Millwall are good at playing the type of (anti) football that plays on our weaknesses (diagonal long balls, crosses into the box to a big no.9, danger from set pieces) - plus I think Rowett's teams have done generally quite well against us historically.
I can definitely see them scoring against us but we should have enough quality to win this. Reckon this will be one of our tougher games this season but can see either 1-1 or a tight 1-2 to us.
Millwall is never a game to look forward too, it will be tough. I will be happy to come away with a point providing we follow it up with a win at home on Saturday.

Halfway there after 8 minutes. Not bad!
