Amazing to see that Reading, who we thrashed on Saturday, are only 5 points behind  Brighton.

if we can start being mentally strong against the, shall we say, not so good football playing teams, we could get 10 a 12 pts next 4 games, dare I say!?

4-6 points in the next two will see us in a good position, well touching distance to top 6, come Jan window.

COYW!

 049:gif  Agree could be a big weekend for FFC.  All three fixtures being a draw would be brilliant with a Whites win.   049:gif

6-7 points from the next 3 games would be great.

next couple i agree are "not so good" but then derby who are above us and have won 5 on the bounce now...

As were Reading......lol

And Huddersfield must have been on a similar run?

Maybe for every game on a winning run before they visit the Cottage means 1 goal per win for us? Go on Derby, make it 7 before you play the mighty whites on the 17th. I dare ya!!!!

 079.gif Would like to see Derby up to 3rd before we play them.  We do well against teams in 3rd   064.gif

I know we never count our chickens being Fulham fans but there is no reason we cant go on a 3,4 or 5 game streak if we play the way we can do. I think if we are genuinely wanting to be play off contenders we need to get 7 points from the next 3 games so this is an important spell especially with the top 6 all playing each other f321ffc pointed out.

yeah maybe lightning will strike thrice... not sure though! if martin can't play i'd definitely take a draw, probably settle for a draw even if he is playing

For me it depends on the next 2. If we get 4 or 6 points then defo a draw with or without Martin. But less than 4 and we will need another reading performance to keep up with the pack.

We seem to be overlooking the 4th game, which is away to a struggling Ipswich. If over the next 4 games we play close to how we did against reading then I can see us getting 9 to 10 points, with derby being the one most likely to see us drop points.

I hope we can continue this  form, and intensity -as we have over our recent games, even when we haven't got the results. But as a long term Fulham fan, I am wary of getting carried away.

But there is no reason why we can't be a match for any team in this division. In fact, it's the  less successful sides, with their  defensive tactics that we seem to struggle more with. But at least we seem to have overcome our poor home form.
