12th - 2nd

Given we are only at the halfway mark of the season, 12th - 2nd is fairly close, only a few wins separating us from 2nd place with 23 games left in the season. If we can maintain a solid win streak with a few draws we will be looking healthy and into the top 6 come may. We have had too many draws this season, though, and the 2 points dropped from those games are beginning to show.
Someone once asked me, "Why Fulham?".
My response, "Well, lad, you just haven't seen the light yet"

Yes but we are in the mix challenging for a top six place, all is not lost yet.

Don't think we're there yet although we look a lot closer. If AK continues to improve and we bring in 2 strong first team players, we could really click.

21 games to go not 23!!!

ayyeeee, quite right. Never mind my mistake, the point I am trying to make still stands!

I believe that the 5th & 6th play off spots are between all the teams from the current 5th down to us in 12th. Any 2 from the 8 can make it. It is down to who can be consistent.
From our point of view we need to rack up the goals as we are behind in the GD stakes.

We cannot afford too many more draws. But we have to strengthen the defence, and I haven't missed the fact that Kamara scores two, but we still need another really decent striker to boost our chances. We must address our Achilles Heels in January.
The club have no excuses, it's been obvious to all and sundry over the last two windows, yet we are still not addressing these issues.

This?? Are we going to get into another debate about being partial (lol). The next thing is that King Arthur will appear with his sword (only joking)!

Thank God you are there to support me again, for a moment I thought I was going mad or had too many you know what's to drink. The madness thing has been there for a while and something I have to accept now, but to forget that I hadn't had a drink, when I hadn't had even 1 then, that would be sheer madness!

Do not despair, I am here to serve.
This is the season of merriment and good will to all men and ladies.
So push the boat out, and join me in drinking to swimming with bow legged women.

Sorry, I meant to type; I agree with this, but in my rush I posted a somewhat abbreviated version. I do think Wooly is right though, nothing has changed for me, we still need an experienced striker (while AK hopefully develops into a top striker over the next season or two) plus a CB and LB.

Still all to play for a win Tuesday will have us in a good position to push for the play offs. Personally believe Wolves Derby Bristol City will remain in the top 6. Leaving 3 spaces fighting between Cardiff Leeds Villa Boro Brentford Preston & Fulham

Hopefully Joka is mostly in charge of the transfer window this time and it will be a quick one as strategised by Joka himself in this article.

Better to have new players starting to gel in mid Jan than early Feb.

It will be a close fight for the playoff spots.
