Do we think either will start tomorrow? (I do not)
Do we think either will make the bench and feature for their fist appearance in front of the Faithful? (I do, 55th minute Mitro and 70th minute for Christie)
You are probably right, but it would not surprise me to see Mitrovic start.

Or at the very least on the bench.
I'm really interested in seeing how Christie fits in. Of the three, I think he's actually the best signing.
None of the new signings will start. Maybe just 1 will make the bench.
If we put ourselves in the boots of this winning squad, any unnecessary inclusion will make me wary and probably affecting morale.
The new signings will need time to be eased in into the squad.
The only way I see them getting any minutes on the pitch is if we performed terribly in this coming match, regardless of the scoreline.
The above deduction is also based on Joka recent press conference, as posted here http://www.friendsoffulham.com/forum/index.php?topic=63590.0
Everybody have to fight for their places first.

I think both on the bench.
Targett played the whole second half last week, and I think both could feature in this week's game - depends how we're doing.
I don't suppose Slav will bring them on just to give them a start, but, then, he will presumably be eager to get them into the team, but has to think of the present players who have done so well recently.
No point in bringing them in if the current players are producing the goods, but there are always times in a game when a sub seems a good idea.
Mitrovic might be a little rusty, but we have been crying out for a player of his quality all season up front. Who can not only bang in goals but strike fear in opponents, he has a presence, and Jok is a fan of his. He may be a little short of match fitness but his andrenaline will carry him through.
One thing our other forwards haven't done is score goals regularly, Mitrovic can, and I don't include Sess as a forward, he is more a wing back. So I would not be surprised if he starts.
