It's got a 0-0 bore draw all over it. That would be like a win for us keeping a clean sheet

Facing a team that haven't won away in over a year - what could possibly go wrong...

Hoping we'll win by a margin with Ross scoring enough to make him the leagues leading scorer.

Fair play to any of their fans travelling down for such an early kickoff.

Bolton. I have been watching their results recently. Some impressive. Fulhams results, some disastrous.

Expected crowd?  Any ideas.  Maybe about 4000.

I do! 0-2 but if we win 5-0 I will not cheer a single goal. Lazy miserable squad have really cheesed me off this season.
When their second goes in i for one will walk out jeering a I go.

One good thing about our poor form in recent weeks. If we had a good end to season club management would have come out with the spiel that things are coming together under new manager and no need to change squad.

Now they have no excuse and are expected to invest in a personnel overhaul.

Post by: RaySmith on May 05, 2016, 09:24:56 AM
I think the players and manager will desperately want to put on a good show for the fans - but this could make them tense and fearful in their play, as we have  so often seen lately, while Bolton  could play without a care in the world.

So, I expect a lot of pressure from Fulham- but not sure of the result. Hopefully a win, to  end a frustrating season, but which was nearly a heck of a lot worse.

So a triumph, of sorts, that we weren't relegated, though I doubt if many others will see it like that. But I remember the  last match of the season after going away to Watford where we had to get a result to stay in the Second Division, and were hammered, leading to relegation  to the Third division, and two seasons ago, I went  away  to Stoke in the penultimate game.

We are Fulham, and we live to fight another day. Wish I could be there.
COYW.

I expect a Fulhamish outcome. Either a Brazil-like performance from us and we stuff them 6-0, or an awful display and they get their first away win since Woolly Mammoths roamed the earth.
Title: Re: Who reckons we'll lose to Bolton?
Post by: Fulham 442 on May 05, 2016, 09:35:46 AM
It really doesn't matter either way.  Bolton are down and we are safe, there is nothing to play for.  However you would like to think that the Fulham players would be playing for pride and want to put on a good display for the fans but I can't see that happening and for that reason I am not going to the game as I had planned.  I certainly wouldn't want to clap them off after such an absolutely dire season.

That's ballsy. The Bolton bet, I reckon, is fair enough. Our lot seem to be happy enough with 'safe' and pretty well checked out. But, Leicester will have Vardy back, though without Drinkwater, and will want to put on a show for the home supporters. Can't see them, or Ranieri, letting an opportunity to give the title to their fans in style and at home. Couldn't make myself bet against them....not against Everton anyway.

Of course, they could all be hungover from 5 nights of drink, which is what I gather you are counting on.

It's a sad state I'm in with my club right now. I have to agree that it just doesn't matter to me. Far, far, far more excited about my 6 yr old's match.

Post by: Riversider on May 05, 2016, 02:55:52 PM
I genuinely think Bolton will win and maybe comfortably so, many of the Fulham players playing on Saturday will have already been told that they don't form part of Slavisa's plans for next season,
This will be our lowest crowd of the season despite the figure given out by the club after as they include season ticket holder it could be a real vision of the future on Saturday for the club, and a scary one at that !

A beating could be a blessing in disguise. None of our players are good enough for this level Barr 1 or 2. Which are likely to leave.

Another 1 or 2 show up and have potential on their day.  But we need consistent good players to give us something to get excited about before we even consider going up.


Let's please not have a comfortable win, because I don't want anyone to have any false confidence whatsoever about our current squad.

I get your point. But I have a feeling (or perhaps it's just a fool's hope) that the manager (and the background pen-pushers) know full well what is required at this stage and Saturday's result will not affect the issue.

They by God better know.

Even if there is no passion for Fulham or football in general in our boardroom, everyone has to understand that the play on the field is the best advertisement for selling tickets. Everything they do is/should be a means to that single end. No matter what, or how strongly, the feel for the game. Drives me crazy at times seeing them, or any team that I care for, doing things that contradict the effort to put a good product on the field each and every week.

It matters to me but I'll still be in Scotland.
Mind you I went on a boat trip around the Corriebrechan  whirlpool during a strong spring tide today so that's enough excitement for the week ahead, even without Slav running on the pitch shouting F ING do it this way.
