How many points can we get? I think 5 would be a great return as 2 away games at Wigan and Southampton who will both be up for it and a home game against the champions is tough. We have goals in our side anything under 4 points would be hugely disappointing ....
Come on you Whites!! :)

4 would be a pretty good return. Cant see us beating Wigan & Southampton but beating one or the other is a realisting target.

I dont think we can honestly expect to get anything from the Man City game. A point would be an excellent return from that game but I think they have too much quality to realistically expect anything other than a loss.

I'd rate 4 pts as quite a good haul considering our away record over the years. Having been bitten by the over zealousness bug on multiple occasions after a good home result, I refuse to be taken in once more and will keep expectations low for away matches until I see a reason to do otherwise.

I may be killed for this but we have a habit of losing to promoted teams and I fear southampton will be added to that list. Out of the three that is the game I fear the most!

Sounds really stupid but I guess that years of supporting fulham that makes me worry about going to promoted teams away

I remember Hull Away a couple years back.  Didn't we lose to Swansea Away early last year?

Will take 4 points & hope for 6, maybe even 7...

Plus they have no points etc...I can see it already!  AND I bet we get a point from city

A to Wigan - 3 points
H to Man City - 1 point
A to Southampton - 1 point

That would be 11 from 7, and that's a VERY good start by Fulham standards.

Aim for 7 points. We can beat Wigan and Southampton, hope for a point against City.

3 From wigan for sure and 3 from southampton
Dont expect the lads to get anything from city so i reckon 6 pts is great!

If West Ham was anything to go by there is nothing to suggest that we have turned a corner with our away form. I am normally so-o-o positive but if we drew all three matches then I would actually be quite happy with that.

Everyone seems to think that Wigan will be easy, I'm not sure I agree with that.  I think after their loss to ManU, they will believe they can take something more than a point from Fulham.  They haven't looked too bad so far, and could present a tough challenge.

On another note, I feel that FFC has what it takes to get 9 points from the next 3 games.  We did well against Man City last year, and we "should" be able to beat Southampton and Wigan.
I hope for 6 points, but wouldn't be surprised if we did as well as 9!
I would start to wonder if we only got 2 from the next 3 games!

I have faith that we ARE going to turn a corner and begin getting more points away from home.
There seems to be a healthy bit of competition for most positions, and the youngsters for the most part are going to be playing to impress.

I think we'll get 3 points.

I reckon we'll get 2 points from the next 3 games. We just don't win away from home - we're a different team altogether.

So we'll grab a draw at Wigan or Saints, and push City close at home.

6 points.

I looked at the next 6 games, 14 points if the right team show up. Top 4, here we come.


btings

I'd be happy with 4 or 5, though for some reason I consider 4 or 6 more likely.  We don't feel like a drawing team this year.

Anywhere from 1 to 4.

Can't see us losing all 3, but I also can't see us beating Man C, or winning two games on the road. Winning one on the road is a possibility though.

I reckon we'll draw or lose against Wigan, lose to Man C and win or draw against Southampton, hence my prediction of 1 to 4.

And I'd be reasonably happy with that too.

We now have the opportunity to train a full week with our squad and get some minor injuries sorted with the players. We have shown we can play good football.
I honestly think if the mind set is right, and the managers tactics are right we can get 7 points. Rather than just defend away, why not surprise a few and go with a positive attitude, more than what the opposition expects. It throws their tactics out at least?
