Games for the Weekend 06/08
And the Championship kicks off…

New season, new manager, new players, new kit.
It’s a shame that we have to wait until Sunday, I’m guessing we’ll have a lot of games moved from Saturdays this season but the Euro games made waiting for the start appear not quite as long?
I’m looking forward to seeing how Silva gets us playing, hopefully more exciting that the past couple of seasons.
Also I’m interested to see if any of the new additions will get a game, the young lad from Liverpool looks to be an exciting addition but I think it would be harsh on Rodak not to start the season.
At the time of writing, Wednesday afternoon, there’s been no further news on the young Brazilian, apparently he tested positive for COVID so it doesn’t look as if he’s going to get a game this month, and the Matt Grimes saga is following a “typical” Fulham transfer pattern?
Having such a seasoned old campaigner in Colin as our first opponent should prove to be an interesting test for Marco and whatever team he sends out, hopefully Mitro will be back on fire and we’ll get a taste of what we can expect for the rest of the season.
Our record against Middlesbrough is consistent with 5 wins, 5 loses and 4 draws, so Sunday would be a good time to tip the balance in our favour.

Sylvester Jasper has played for Fulham's academy side in the Papa John's Trophy
League Two side Colchester United have signed forward Sylvester Jasper on loan from Fulham until January.
The 19-year-old has played three times for the Cottagers' first team, all as a substitute in the 2019-20 campaign.
Jasper scored eight goals in 18 games for the Championship side's under-23 team last season.
He could go some way to replacing winger Kwame Poku, who joined Peterborough United for a "substantial six-figure fee" on Monday.
"Sylvester is a player with bags of potential and is really hungry to do well here," director of football Tony Humes told the club website.
