Sky Bet Championship at Craven Cottage, London
unchanged, expected wasn't it really.
Bettinelli
S.Sessegnon
Mawson
Ream
Bryan
StefJo
Arter
Cairney
Knockaert
Mitro
Cavaleiro
Subs :
Rodak
Christie
MLM
KMac
H.Reed
Bobby Reid
AK47
I was worried about Mawson after Betts dove into his knee last week, but I guess he's good to go.
H.Reed
Bobby Reid
AK47
That's an impact bench I wouldn't want to have to face. Hopefully we can put up a least 2 against Milwall's defense.
Wait...I hope Denis is ok. I'd love him to come off the bench before MLM or Cyrus.
So I have paid my subscription but where on Fulhamfc.com is the match.

I'm on there but live action not being shown at the moment
Watching on the Sky Red Button. Only one camera.
Player by player, I think we have them beaten 11 to nothing! Coyw
he's done it again, wow
I knew Cav would come good! COYW
Cav, even better than last game. What a strike.
CAV!!!
Deja vu all over again.
91% possession after 15 mins
great finish Cav! 049:gif
cairney playing well assist for cavs goal plus linkin up well with knockaert and sess
well done knockaert mis-read the dummy from cairney but then sprinted and closed down full width of pitch
mitro whats he up to? frustrated at losing possession then yellow card? its so easy to push his buttons
same with knockaert? no need with the yellows and may prove to be costly

few players just watching him run up to the ref, theyve got to get to him first there. Inevitable booking
Beautiful goal that. Millwall looking very flat.
Knockers. Rampant now.
oh yes yes yes. This could be a rout
glad Johansen was trying to get mitro away from the ref, want him focusing on the game not the ref
049:gif Great goal 049:gif
get in!!! knockaert looking for the shot twisting turning but not on passes it and ends up scoring anyway
beautiful move 5 mins earlier
this is fantastic to watch
dare I say champagne football?
lol knockaert like a man possessed

You can't beat rampant Knockers😂
Millwall finally started pressing high. Bit late I think.
88.5% possession. Must be a record for us.
88.5% possession with two goals :Haynes The Maestro:

I think they did it only because they knew there were 5-10 minutes left before the break.
This is the conundrum we present to the opposition:
1) Sit back and we patiently wait for the incisive pass
2) Press early and pray for some mistakes, at the potential cost of running out of energy too soon, where we will potentially cut you up with our attackers

Radio 5 says 89% and are gushing over how good Fulham have been.

The idea that Parker has is to invite pressure I think. Then shift up the pace when they're slightly off balance trying to pressure the ball.
The only way to play against it is to press like a unit. Sitting off like Millwall has with Cairney, Knockaert and Cavaleiro getting to turn with the ball is suicidal.
Grrr...at work and can't watch or listen to the game.
Sounds like the chaps are putting in a shift. Can't wait to watch 90 Minutes in two days.
KEEP A CLEAN SHEET!!!!! 049:gif
All I can say is that I am going to pour my first Gordons g & t, that will probably be a record at this time of night equivalent to the amount of possession Fulham have had, are we that good, Millwall 7 pts from 3 games against better teams than we have played so far. We do look like the side that got promoted recently!

True. Still, if they press for 90, we will be running around them like they are cones from 70' on, IMO. Would you agree?

Still 45 minutes to go. I'm nervous.

Highlights on Quest HD at 10.30pm, if you are finished work by then.
Big Matt Smith on for Millwall.
Millwall will press us high.
Looked like Mitro was off there, but I'm not complaining.
assumed he would've been offside? no replays on this though. Stick it away son!
Mitro. They are all on fire.
3-0 and three points.
started with some lovely stuff from Cavaleiro
Best GD in the championship!
This is going to be a very fun season
let's put a couple more past them eh? goal difference matters 049:gif 049:gif

Get a life, why worry be happy, 4 nil now (lol)!
That is surely it! :wine: Cavaleiro just needed some confidence.

Should get an extra point for the performance, brilliant!!
Cav the cavaleer
what a fooking assist from cairney to cav and what a finish!!!
what to do rest the star larkers or those on cards or push on for goal difference
think we could get 6 here Millwall look crestfallen
Cavaliero, he scores when he wants :wine:
3 quick subs please, another game at the weekend

'As It Stands' table showing we're up to 2nd, behind Charlton
Edit= Swansea have just scored and gone above us

1 down 2 to go, think scott rates cairney as instrumental to the way he wants the team to play and now the game is won save/rest for the next game
unless that was a twinge cairney touched when walking off?
I think this season we wont suffer as much without him in the team as 2 years ago
Charlton winning again tonight against Forest. Some start to the season for them.

Bit like my drinks rationing, 2 down 8 to go! What a great night!!
1 down 2 to go
We have had so much possession, be nice to keep a clean sheet as well.
I think this game shows one thing for definite, if we get a 2+ goal cushion against teams, with the forwards we have we're going to pass them to death with superior quality and individual talent and really pull them to bits when we're on song

Leeds winning
the quality all around the team tonight surely makes the play offs a formality and auto a definite possibility

Unless you are a poultry farmer, don´t count your chickens, just yet!
lol sessignon hes one of our own
playing central
good subs, give our players a bit of extra rest before the forest game 049:gif
the last promo season it was a dodgy start then it went ballistic
this season it looks like its cock and pullet

Evening Davew, yes I agree very impressive, I am glad to hear you have the Vera Lynn in action also. ⚽️
Great result. 049:gif One problem though. What are people going to complain about for the next two days?
the singing for the first 15 mins?
I think S Sess is going to be a better all round player than Ryan. May not score so many but he is a better defender & I like the way he comes inside to bolster our MF.

They just interviewed him on Talksport, sounds Really positive and appreciative of the fans support.
