Over on the forum we’ve been discussing the possibility that Adidas won’t be providing next seasons kits, this has not been confirmed.
Here are some fantasy designs…
Erra
Hummel
Nike
Puma
Umbro
these are all “fantasy” kits, we’ve no “inside information” on who will be the kit suppliers or what form they’ll take, it’ll be interesting to see what next seasons real one will look like.
Well, Derby managed to spoil the party again, like many I’ve still not forgotten ’83. Loosing two games in a row hasn’t happened this season so I can’t really complain too much but still do, this is Fulham after all.
So if Forest don’t win against West Brom then we’ll be promoted, I’d much rather we get the win against Preston, nothing against Preston but I think it would be “better” for us to gain promotion with a win rather than by another team loosing?
I would also prefer that Mitro gets the goal that secures promotion, just to further cement him into the Fulham archives.
Our performances have been below where we were earlier in the season, hopefully Marko will have worked his magic to re galvanise the squad.
Current Form:
Fulham – LWWLL

Well Coventry have become our boogie team for this season, we’ve only lost twice by more than one goal, both times to Coventry!
A notable point from the game was that it was Tim Ream’s 250th for Fulham, in my opinion this is his best season so far, long may he continue.
“On paper” we should have an easy game against Derby as we’re 55 points ahead of them and have a goal difference of 66, however, Derby still have an outside chance of staying up and will be fighting for every point, and they played really well against us earlier this season.
Current Form:
Derby – LLDWL
Fulham – DLWWL
Our recent record against the rams very even, slightly in Derbys favour with 4 wins, 5 losses and 6 draws, we drew 0-0 earlier in the season.

Wednesday’s away win at Middlesborough drew the 5 consecutive games to a close with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, not a bad return.
Mitro’s 38 goal of the season was a thing of beauty, straight off the training ground? the movement, delivery and execution was first class, if Real Madrid did that we’d never hear the end of it!
If, and its a big if, Forest loose to Birmingham and we beat Coventry then we’ll be promoted, roll on the weekend.
Our only recent previous game against Coventry saw us fall to our heaviest defeat of the season when they scored 4 to our 1. It’s worth noting that after that game we went on to win the next 7 games scoring 25 goals and conceding only 2.
Current Form:
Fulham – WDLWW

Another really good team performance against QPR, I think we were lucky with the pen’, if it had been given against is I would have been annoyed, however overall I think we controlled the game and didn’t look “in danger” at any time.
With 8 games remaining Mitro’ is scoring goals for fun, 37 so far, he’s fast approaching the all-time Fulham goals scored in a season record, Bedford Jezzard (39) in 1953-54 and Frank Newton (43) in 1931-32. Mitro has now scored 90 goals for Fulham, level with a certain flying winger, Les Barrett, I’m sure Ed (LBno11) won’t begrudge Mitro passing his boyhood hero’s landmark in the near future?
Another player approaching a land-mark is Tim Ream, closing in on 250 appearances and has played every minute of every league game this season, and hardly put a foot wrong, he’s also having the best season of his Fulham career?
A Wednesday evening in Middlesborough, I really can’t see many travelling fans for this game, do we have to travel further than Tyneside for an away game this season?
Middlesborough had a very good away win on Saturday 0-4 against Peterborough and will be looking to cement their play-off position, their currently 5th. If we win we’ll only need 3 more wins to gain promotion, assuming Forest don’t loose, if Forest loose we only need 2 wins.

3 weeks without a game is far too long at this time of year!, still we’re back with a derby game against StefJo’s QPR, stand by for some serious shit-housery coming our way.
Hopefully all players will have returned from their international duties without injury, I’m reasonably sure that Robinson would have returned too late to be included in the squad?
Reports are that we played a friendly against Watford last weekend, Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored the only goal, so those not away would have had a bit of a competitive run out.

Once again we’ve lost out to dubious decisions, it was never a penalty, and how Muniz wasn’t awarded one?, that was so bad that Wilson must have been in shock when he missed an open goal!
Harry Wilson’s goal was our 45th away from home, a new club record.
Still a point away from home is always a good point, the unbeaten run continues, on to Tuesdays game, let’s hope we can keep it up.
I’d expected this game to be a top of the table, or close to, clash? unfortunately for the baggies their form took a nose dive that resulted in them getting Steve Bruce as their manager. Their currently sitting in 14th and you can bet that their aim is to get into the play-off’s, can Bruce motivate them to do that, at the moment they need to make up at least 8 points to get ahead of Sheff Utd, with only 10 games of their season left they might have left it too late?

After a fairly dull first half, in truth Swansea looked to have the measure of us until Ryan Manning’s red card. The second half was very different with Mitro scoring after 14 seconds, Cabango’s own goal, Bobby Decordova-Reid coming off the bench to get our 3rd and then Nico Williams scoring his first, for Fulham, and then, probably the best of the bunch, a cracking volley for our fifth.
With Bournemouth dropping points, again, having a game in hand over Huddersfield, and having a ridiculous goal difference, us Fulham fans might soon be in the very unusual position of knowing we’re going to be promoted, and most likely as Champions, the best season since Tigana?
Barnsley aren’t having their best season, their currently in 23rd with -26 goal difference, having said that they’ve recently had a couple of wins against Middlesborough and Hull so we can’t afford to take them lightly. Earlier in the season we beat them at our place 4-1.

Gentleman Jim commented that Mitro’s now in a goal drought, as he didn’t scored in 90 minutes!, lucky for us Kebano and Wilson can make up the slack! All joking aside I can’t remember a Fulham squad being so united, they all appear to want to play for each other, just look at the goal celebrations and how even non playing members get involved.
If Nico Williams shot from the halfway line had gone in he’d have written himself into Fulham folk-law, I wonder what the chances are of keeping him next season?
Swansea are on a little bit of a revival run at the moment, so it’s going to be another tough game. Cyrus Christie won’t be available, he looks as if he’ll stay at Swansea next season and I for one will only wish him the best of luck.
This is our re-arranged game against the Swans, it was originally scheduled for New Years Day.

Cardiff was a close game, any away win is a bonus, perhaps its just me but I always think that we have tough games against Cardiff even though we’ve done the double over them this season, this was the type of game we could easily have slipped up on.
Mitro has yet another goal to add to his very impressive tally, Gentleman Jim suggested, in jest, that it was getting boring, long may we all be bored! I was surprised that Seri didn’t get a run out after his master-class performance against Peterborough, although I trust our current manager, unlike the previous one, to make correct team selections.
Since we beat Rovers at their place they went on an impressive run, 10 unbeaten with 8 wins, boosting them up the table and being real contenders for an automatic rather than play-off slot. Their form has slumped over the past few games but you don’t put a 10 game unbeaten run together without having a really good squad who knows how to grind out results.
I’m not expecting a repeat of the 7 goals against we scored Rovers that we scored at their place, and I’m sure they’ll be looking for revenge so I’m expecting a close game.
