Games for the Week-end 26/02

We’re off to South Wales to visit Cardiff at their place

Cardiff v Fulham

Mitro’s got the new goal scoring record, he’s overtaken Ivan Toney 31 for Brentford last season, and theres still 14 games to go! I’m sure his next target will be Guy Whittingham’s total of 42, I wouldn’t bet against him surpassing that one either!

Seri probably had his best game in a Fulham shirt, he’ll surely now be the 2nd name on the team sheet. If it wasn’t for Steven Benda remarkable performance then the result would have been far more comfortable than the 2-1 scoreline suggests.

Cardiff’s last minute loss to Huddersfield last time out, brought their good run of 4 wins in 6 games to an end, their in better form than 19th suggests.

Current form:
Cardiff – WLWDL
Fulham – DWWLW

Our record against the bluebirds is quite good with 7 wins, 5 losses and 6 draws.

Games for mid-week 23/02

We’re under the lights at the Cottage again for this Wednesdays game against Peterborough.

Fulham v Peterborough

Well we had to loose sometime didn’t we? having said that I think we played well in the 2nd half and if it wasn’t for a couple of dubious ref’ decisions, never a penalty and he missed an obvious handball, we might have got something from the game. Having said that Huddersfield deserved to get something from the game, perhaps a draw would have been a fairer result?

Darren Ferguson has resigned as Peterborough boss, I wonder how this will effect our game? new boss bounce? I doubt they’ll have anyone in place for Wednesday, and anyway the chances of them making a huge difference as short notice are minimal?
Bournemouth have had their game against Swansea postponed, so this should be a chance for us to draw further away from 2nd place, however this is the Championship and we can’t afford any sort of complacency!

I wonder of Mitro will make history this game?

Current form:
Fulham – WDWWL
Peterborough – LLLDL

Our record against Peterborough, such as it is, 2 wins, 0 losses and draws.

My team, I’m assuming that Muniz is still injured…

Games for the Week-end 19/02

There’s an early kick-off, 12:30, for our game at the Cottage against Huddersfield.

Fulham v Huddersfield

Mitro’s scored 31 times, this season to equal the record for number of goals in a season and we’ve still got 16 games left! I wonder how many more he’ll get? Mitro’s on FIRE!
Over on the forum someone came up with an interesting point, Fulham’s goal difference (52) is greater than the goal difference of the 4 teams, added together, immediately below them (51).

Huddersfield are on a very good run, they’ve gone 14 games without loosing, 7 wins and 7 draws, the last time they lost was November 27th against Middlesborough.

Current form:
Fulham – WWDWW
Huddersfield – DWWDD

Our record against Huddersfield is very good with 8 wins, 1 loss and 2 draws.

My team…

Games for the weekend 12/02

We’re on our travels again, this time to the MKM Stadium to play Hull for a 3 o’clock kickoff.

Hull v Fulham

So after the mid-week games we’re 6 points in front of Bournemouth, we’ve played the same number of games, 8 points in front of Blackburn who have played 31, 9 in front of QPR, 29 games, 12 in front of Huddersfield, 31 games and 15 in front of Forest, 30 games. I can’t remember a season when we’ve been in such a “comfortable” position, and thats without mentioning the goal difference, I can’t see anyone getting close to that so effectively thats another point! Someone on the forum pointed out that our goal difference is more than any other club has scored so far, Bournemouth 47, QPR 46 and Blackburn 45 are the closest.

Hull have a “new” owner and manager but have lost their previous 2 games, after winning the 3 before them so their capable of putting a run together, interestingly they had a 0-0 draw against Bournemouth but lost 2-0 to Rovers.
Remember Jimmy Bullard called Hull a “bigger club” than Fulham when he left us to join them.

Current form:
HULL WWWLL
Fulham WWWDW

Our record against Hull isn’t particularly good with 5 wins, 7 losses and 2 draws.

Games for mid-week 08/02

Another game under the lights of Craven Cottage, this time we welcome Millwall

Fulham v Millwall

Well we’re out of the cup, no real surprise against Man City, and we can now concentrate on the league.
Williams looked good, I’m sad to see Odoi go however I don’t think he would have gotten much game time next season.
Carvalho doesn’t look to have been too effected by the transfer saga, only one game I know but he did play well against City and scored our first goal against them in donkeys!
I’m certain that Mitro will be looking forwards to Tuesday evening, although he’s been working really hard for the team, he’s not scored recently, I’m sure he’ll want to break the scoring record sooner rather than later!, surely it can’t be too long before yet another first half hat-trick?

We all know that in the Championship anyone can beat anyone however, our record against Millwall is very good with 5 wins, 1 loss and 3 draws.
Millwall appear to be gaining some better form drawing at Preston last time out and getting a 2-0 against West Brom.

Millwall LLLWD

Games for the Weekend 29/01

We’re back at the Cottage, this time we welcome Blackpool for a 3 o’clock kickoff

Fulham v Blackpool

The Stoke game was always going to be a tough one, with Mitro and Wilson missing, due to COVID? that didn’t make the task any easier however, Muniz really stepped up and once again the whole team put in a fantastic effort.
There are rumours that we’ll ask for this game to be rescheduled as we’ve so many players out with either COVID, other injuries or on international duty.
Mitro, Wilson COVID? Tete, Bryan (could be available?), Cavaleiro, Kongolo injured and Seri, Robinson, Hector and DeCordovia-Reid on international duty.

Blackpool have had a couple of good home wins against Millwall and Hull, we know how good they can be at their place.
I’m sure they’ll be looking forward to playing us, especially with our depleted squad, and hoping for the double against us, I don’t think many teams will do that this season.

Anyhow our record against Blackpool, apart from earlier in the season, is a good one with 3 wins, 1 loss and 3 draws.

Fulham LWWWW
Blackpool WLLWW

Games for the Weekend 22/01

We’re on our travel’s again, this time we’re off to play Stoke City at their place

Stoke City v Fulham

Well, 3 wins in a row with 19 goals scored and 4 conceded, thats just insane!
Over on the forum we’ve, naturally, been talking about this and a few interesting stats have been mentioned.
In 145 years Fulham have scored 6 or more goals, in league games, 9 times. 4 of those in the last 2 months, 3 of them in the last 7 days!
Fulham are the first English side in 88 years to score 6 or more in 3 consecutive games.
Fulham’s current goal difference (47) is now higher than anybody else in the Championship’s goals scored!
Mitro’, who didn’t score on Tuesday, has equal to or more goals than Millwall, Blackpool, Swansea, Birmingham City, Hull City, Cardiff City, Peterborough, Derby and Barnsley!

While its difficult not to get carried way, we are Fulham after all Fulhamish anyone, if we don’t get promoted this season something will have gone seriously wrong! (stating the bleeding obvious)

Stoke will be encouraged by their last two games, beating Leyton Orient (FA Cup) and comfortably at Hull last weekend. They have been busy in the transfer market with Phil Jagielka, Lewis Baker and Taylor Harwood-Bellis joining their ranks.
Like every game in the Championship, this will be another tough one.

Our record against Stoke is remarkably even with 8 wins and losses and 1 draw.

Current form:
Stoke City DLLWW
Fulham DLWWW

my team, I’m not going to change a winning line-up unless there are injuries…

Games for the Week-end 05/02

We travel up to Manchester to take on City in the cup

Yet another cup game against Man City
18/19 League Cup
19/20 FA Cup
20/21 FA Cup
21/22 FA Cup

This will be an interesting game, we must be massive underdogs no matter what team City put out however, this is a cup game and anything can happen, just ask Kidderminster or Hereford or Sutton Utd , an upset, however unlikely, is always possible.

Team selection for this game will be tricky, I’m sure that all of the first team will want a crack at Man City, they’d want to prove themselves against probably the best team in the country? However I’m sure that Marco will be more concerned with league matters and maintaining our position for automatic promotion, after all we could play this lot twice next season.

my team would be…

Games for Mid-week 18/01

Another re-scheduled fixture, what should have been the Boxing Day game, now under the lights at Craven Cottage.

Fulham v Birmingham City

13 goals in 2 games, I think we’ve got over that run of draws before Christmas?
It was the second game this season where Mitro’ scored a hat-trick in the 1st half, someone on the forum, rusty shackleford, commented that he (Mitro) must have eaten his Weetabix, really made me chuckle.

We’re back in first place, 2 points ahead of Bournemouth, with a game “in hand”, this will be that game, and 23 goals ahead of them in goal difference, only West Brom have conceded less goals than us, West Brom 20, Fulham 21.

This game against Birmingham will be another tough one, Lee Bower’s teams are a hard working, well schooled outfits, we can’t be too complacent.

However our record against Birmingham is quite a good one with 9 wins, 5 losses and 4 draws.

Current form:
Fulham DDLWW
Birmingham DLLLD

my team, why change a winning setup?…

Games for the Weekend 15/01

Bristol City again, this time it’s a league game at the Cottage.

Fulham v Bristol City

So after our rescheduled game against Reading we now get to play Bristol City again for the second Saturday in a row.

So how do we follow a 0-7 away win? last time we scraped a 0-1 away against Peterborough, that was 6 wins on the bounce!
However as we saw from last weekend’s game Bristol are a good side, better than their 15th place in the league might suggest? bearing in mind that we still have a game in hand, I’d settle for another narrow win to help us chase down top spot.

Our record against Bristol City is not very good with 3 wins, 5 losses and 3 draws.

Current form
Fulham DDDLW
Bristol WDLLW

I thought that everyone had a good game on Tuesday but as we’ll be playing again next Tuesday my team would be…
