Is this the biggest game of the season so far? we welcome Bournemouth for a Friday evening game to the Cottage.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So a top of the table clash against a former manger who alienated some (most?) of the current squad, should be a good game.
Surprisingly since we leap-frogged Bournemouth to go top, both teams could only manage draws, the Baggies have also had a bit of a dip with QPR overtaking them in 3rd place.
Currently we’re still a point above Bournemouth however with a goal difference of +33 to their +20 a win on Friday would see us 4 points and (at least) 15 goals ahead of them.
Whilst it’s far too early in the season to say that this is “the” Championship decider, a victory would give a real boost to either team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it wasn’t for the illness effecting the Fulham squad, unconfirmed rumours are that its norovirus which, while unpleasant and highly contagious, usually only lasts a couple of days, there might a slight concern about our drop in form.
Bournemouth have recently suffered a couple of losses, after a long unbeaten run, and the last 2 games had 2 draws. In the last game against Coventry they were 2-0 up in the 85 minute only to finish 2-2 with the equalised coming on 90+5, Lerma’s sending off probably had a big part in that result? I think most of us can remember Scott Parker’s tactic of “holding on” once you’ve gone ahead, I’m guessing it backfired yet again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fulham WWWDD
Bournemouth LWLDD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One player who I’m certain will be “up for it” this game will be Mitro’, we’ve no idea of what happened between him and Parker last season but I think Mitro’ will want to show his former gaffer how much of a mistake Parker made?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our record against Bournemouth isn’t very good with 3 losses and 1 win however I think Mitro and one or two other players may have a point to prove?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

my team against Bournemouth, assuming all fit, would be…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
