Games for the Week-end 31/12

For the final game of 2022 we welcome Southampton to the Cottage for a 3 o’clock kick-off

Fulham v Southampton

The first competitive game back at the Cottage since the World Cup and last of 2022 see’s us take on Southampton.
It was a surprise to see both Mitro and Robinson start against Palace, after Marco said he wasn’t sure either would be available, and how about Reeeeeeeeem getting his first Premier League goal!
I thought the wearing of the No.2 tracksuit tops was a nice touch and the minutes applause appeared to be participated by just about everyone in the ground, I wonder what the club will do on Saturday?

Surprisingly?, Southampton are currently sitting at the bottom of the league and with their 1-3 home derby defeat against Brighton on Boxing Day they need to start winning some games if they’re to survive this season.

Our record against Southampton is quite a poor one with only 1 win, 6 losses and 3 draws.

Assuming no injuries, my team would be…

Team against Southampton 24/11

Over on the forum we’ve been discussing the team against Southampton…

Team against Southampton

Subs: Betts, Ream, MLM, Anguissa, Vietto, AK47

I think we did OK against Liverpool, certainly for the 1st half, and Chambers looked a completely different player. Ryan has to play a more attacking role and I can see AK47 coming on later in the game.

Games for the Weekend 24/11

Back to the Cottage for our game against Southampton this weekend

Fulham v Southampton

A new chapter starts for Fulham FC with the appointment of Claudio Ranieri and following on from the improved performance against Liverpool, perhaps we’ll see a turnaround in our fortunes. We really need to get something out of this game before the trip away to Chelsea next week.

It’ll be interesting to see how the “tinker man” sets up his Fulham side, how will Mitro’ fit-in?, can he get the best out of Seri & Anguissa?, will Ryan play a more attacking role?, and not least how will he improve the defence? interesting times ahead.

Mark Hugs, who could be the next manager to get the sack, left as Fulham manager when he decided that we didn’t have enough ambition, I wonder what he’d have thought if he’d been given £100 million worth of transfer funds?

Personally I’m sorry that Slaviša lost his job, last season we played some of the best football I’ve ever seen Fulham play and I’ll never forget our day at Wembley, I wish you the best of luck Slaviša.
