I was surprised that Seri didn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;t put a 10 game unbeaten run together without having a really good squad who knows how to grind out results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not expecting a repeat of the 7 goals against we scored Rovers that we scored at their place, and I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll be looking for revenge so I&#8217;m expecting a close game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current Form:<br>Fulham &#8211; WWLWW<br>Rovers &#8211; LLDLW<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our record against Rovers is remarkably even, 7 wins, 7 losses and 4 draws<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My team<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CardiffA.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"398\" height=\"634\" src=\"http:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CardiffA.png\" alt=\"Fulham v Blackburn\" class=\"wp-image-2001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CardiffA.png 398w, https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CardiffA-188x300.png 188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>COYW&#8217;s<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Games of Interest&#8230;<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Saturday 5th<\/em><br>Fulham v Rovers<br>Middlesborough v Luton<br>Preston NE v Bournemouth<br>QPR v Cardiff<br>Reading v Millwall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>come on over to the forum and join in the conversation&#8230;<br>https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/forum\/index.php?board=36.0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend we welcome Blackburn to the Cottage for a 12:30 kickoff 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&#8217;ve done the double over them this season, this was the type of game we &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/?p=1995\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Games for the Weekend 05\/03&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[156],"class_list":["post-1995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fulham-fc","tag-fulham-v-blackburn-rovers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1995"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2005,"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995\/revisions\/2005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.friendsoffulham.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
