Team tomorrow as it stands

[Toby Ward-Smith]

Steklenburg

Riether Hangeland Burn Richardson (If Taylor signs from Swansea then him instead of Richardson)

Dejagah Sidwell Parker Kasami

Holtby

Mitroglou (if able to play due to signing time)

[Brede Butter Pudding]

Mitroglou and Taylor (if he signs, which he may not), won't be signed in time to play tomorrow - that had to be done by midday.

Holtby, on the other hand, is eligible.

I can see the team being:

Stek

Reither   Hangeland   Burn   Richardson

Dejagah   Parker   Kvist   Kaca

Holtby

Bent

[N_O_W_S]

SSN seemed to think we had the Mitroglou stuff submitted before the deadline it just wasn't announced until this afternoon.

[VamosFFC]

I think we play better with a 4-3-3, so I would go with this.

                        Stek
Reither    Hangeland   Burn   Richardson

                       Kvist
               Parker      Holtby

Dejagah                             Kaca
                       Bent  

[Zu-Meister]

                         Stek

                        Kvist
                Parker      Holtby

Dejagah                             Kaca
                        Bent   

this, sick of 4411/4231

[St Eve]

I thought Bent had gone

[zander]

Holtby is not confirmed eligible to play yet. Club are awaiting confirmation from the league - SSN

[Sniffer]

It said on the BBC sport section that Mitroglou was "carrying an injury" ?      http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25975661

"The Craven Cottage club are also hoping to fend off interest from West Ham for Olympiakos striker Kostas Mitroglou, with representatives of the 25-year-old at Fulham's Motspur Park training ground on Friday.

Although West Ham have offered a more lucrative deal, the Cottagers are still keen to complete the signing, but are reluctant to increase their offer for a player understood to be carrying an injury. "

I doubt Rene will start 3 players who haven't even trained with the team. Hopefully we'll be up by three at the half tomorrow and we can blood in some of the newbys.

The rest of the season should be of great interest. We can't blame Khan for not trying and Dempsey will soon be gone so what will the whining naysayers say now?

[jmh]

I thought Bent had gone

Taarabt is gone.  There hasn't been any talk (as far as I'm aware) of terminating Bent's loan.

[GloucesterWhite]

Wonder if Dempsey might play up front? He has done so in the past for us, and Bent is a waste of space.

Id be surprised if he isnt eligible because he trained with team earlier..

[Julius Geezer]

I doubt Rene will start 3 players who haven't even trained with the team.

Kvist and Holtby have both trained.

Whether they're match fit is another thing.

[mccscratch]

I think Holtby will play... I am not sure about Kvist.. maybe a sub role...

[JackyFulham90]

Sidwell will start tomorrow

[horse1031]

                Stek

Reither      Hangeland     Burn        Richardson

Dejegah     Parker         Holtby       Kaca

                Dempsey
                                 Mitroglou

[Artful Dodger]

Not sure who will be playing but this is a massive game tomorrow with Utd and Liverpool comingh up. Hopefully the mood will be lifted with the cavalry arriving and we can get awin. Roll. Those. Dice.

[RaySmith]

Bent could come good with a better supply and the team playing more confidently.

We want more than 2 official strikers anyway.

[JackyFulham90]

I think the team will be

                 Stekelenburg
Riether Hangeland Burn Richardson
                                Parker
                          Sidwell Holtby
Dejagah                     Bent            Kacaniklic

Subs - Stockdale, Amorebieta, Kvist, Kasami, Tankovic,  Rodallega

[Baszab]

They are a slick passing energetic team - I would love to start with Karagounis and one winger - bring on Kaca/Djegah as the game progresses
