Gird Your Loins Gents: Fulham Will Probably Have an Invincible 2021/2022 Season

[SP]

I'm with the OP & can't wait to get back to the Cottage.

Personally I don't think we will be promoted. With our poor finances (thanks TK) we probably can't sign players that will strengthen the squad without selling. With the possible exception of Mitro we will probably have to sell our most valuable players at a loss (thanks again TK) or send them out on loan and weaken the squad in the process. Add a couple of injury prone CBs and I think we may realistically end up anywhere between 4th to 12th.

On the positive side I think our squad is too strong to be relegated. My biggest fear is that we completely mess up the transfer window by selling our best players without replacing them or get a slow start because we wait for deadline day bargains and emergency loans. If this happens we may find ourselves near the relegation zone at some point. I still don't think we will actually be relegated though. But we can't afford our usual slow start to the season if we're aiming for automatic promotion.

Still, all of this is pure speculation until the transfer window closes and also until we've seen how Silva adapts to the Championship. Let's hope he doesn't do a Magath and underestimate the quality of the Championship.

I know this may all sound a bit negative and I hope I'm wrong of course! But all this talk about going unbeaten and 100+ points is pure fantasy IMO.

There is a FFC veteran on here called Dave. Someone needs to wake him up as this guy is trying to take his place as the most depressing poster alive at this moment.

Is Odoi still at the club?

:005: I know I may sound negative but I'm actually looking very much forward to this season. Much more so than last season which I knew would be a disaster (that's called being REALISTIC by the way, not negative/depressing. etc.). I prefer to keep my expectation at a realistic level. Being positive and posting nonsense about going undefeated and getting 100+ points won't make the team any better.

But like I said, it's all speculation until the transfer window closes and we've seen how Silva adapts to the Championship.

We should all try to better ourselves. Nothing wrong with that.

[Lyle from Hangeland]

Invincible or near invincible season is a go! 45 games more to go. Let's do this!

But I don't need to be told by you. Everything wrong with that.   And your prediction is looking flaky!

[MartyFFC]

Well I was up half-the-night girding my loins, and given we're still unbeaten clearly it's working. COYW

Flaky you say? Only 44 more games to go. Invincible/near invincible season carries on.

We are all told things we don't like to hear. Freedom of speech is our reality in the English speaking world.

[Lyle from Hangeland]

Anyone starting to believe?

[Lyle from Hangeland]

44 more games to go. We got this!

[blingo]

42

Your excitement has clearly affected your ability to subtract; am thinking my prediction of 105 points is looking a bit conservative

[Lyle from Hangeland]

42

Correct... I counted from 48 which was wrong. Only 42 more to go.

The subtraction wasn't wrong.. I subtracted minus 4. I added to 48 wrongly. :)  Nevertheless, our invincible season slouches forward.

Its goals that I require.... 100+  please ..... 🙏⚽️⚽️⚽️
